I met a couple of their folks on site last week in Raleigh at the All Things Open conference. Saw a couple quick demos, and... it's not for me. But I can see the benefits, and many other folks stopping by the booth seemed to get the

Why not both? I would not be surprised to find the banks already sell that data to other entities anyway (directly or indirectly). I end up buying perhaps $100 of hooch per year; unsure I personally care if anyone knows, but yes, for some

I do understand it happens. I may not have had as many ghostings as you, but have had some. In those cases, generally, I wasn't in any mad dash to jump/switch, so I didn't put as much emphasis on being ghosted as you probab

I used to own a lot of albums and CDs. Worked in a music store, and would get new albums often. Even after that, music was... a big part of life. As I got older, I got fewer albums, as other things took precedence. I subscribed to Spotif

This seems to ignore situations where you're coming in to any codebase you didn't write from scratch. Naming and conventions are already established - they're bad. Refactoring entails moving, renaming, consolidating, etc.
