Here's a thought, I don't think YKK would have lasted as a publicly traded company in the US. Pressure for profit growth from Wall St would have forced them to make cheaper buttons, until their brand name was destroyed and the com

Writing a custom framework is cruel to the maintenance programmers down the line. Whoever works the project after you is stuck with a buggy undocumented framework.

Ah makefiles. It's 2014 and they still can't handle spaces in directory names. http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?712 I'm pretty sure that trying to replace them at this point is sacrilege.

I don't think that's even a scope issue... ng-model will auto-create scope variables if they don't exist. That's a handy shortcut. But if you have two inputs that can auto-create variable you're asking for trouble,

That's actually a case of a bad error message. It just means it can't find 'Foo'. The DI looks for 'Foo', can't find it so it looks for 'FooProvider', can't find it, and throws an error say

Angular scales up fairly smoothly from a small widget on a site to a full SPA. It has two major downsides. - you're on your own for a lot of app structure - it expects you to know javascript quirks about object references, prototypica
