I'm not sure I buy this. For one thing, the article makes no mention of the major pivot Ford (who they call a leader of the pack) just made in investing in Argo AI: http://www.theverge.com/2017/2/10/14579126/ford-argo-ai-one-...


For me it was pair programming, without a doubt.

A year and a half ago I moved from a large enterprise to a small consultancy who practices pair programming. I've learned a great deal more in that year and a half than in the preceding five years working solo on agile and not-so-agile teams.

Good practices and spending time attacking problems together with various colleagues across different projects and tech stacks is what has gotten me to that next level. I'm completely sold on the practice.

I'm much more productive while working with a partner than I am solo as well.

I can't figure out what that utility was supposed to do. What does it mean to "fade" message text? Blend it with the background color or something?


exactly.. it would fade your text with a color gradient for the aol chat rooms. I wrote some with visual basic when I was in high school.


Virgin actually uses Sprint's network. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Mobile_USA


Thanks for the correction, I've updated the original.


This is also true in China (at least in Mandarin-speaking regions, I don't know about Cantonese or other dialects).


Also in Korea because of the Sino-Korean word for 4.


The Japanese pronunciation in question is the Chinese-derived pronunciation for both 四 and 死.
