OReillyGMT
O'ReillyGMT aims to bring you the low-down on tech culture from Iceland, Russia, South Africa and every place in between, from grass roots coding in solitary rooms, through the hopes and dreams of start-ups, via the pioneering work done by governments, charities and direct action groups, to the sizeable contributions of the major corporations that grace this territory. Our main line of reportage will be technology, but we're keen to dive into ecology, business, media, the arts, academia whenever we learn something we'd like to pass on. But we want this to be a two-way conversation. Please let us know what you're working on, comment on the stuff we write about, tell us what we're doing right and what we're doing wrong. We built this site to reflect what's going on: you know better than us, so please, join us!

A One Language Culture: What does it mean and does it matter?
Featuring Edward Cudahy
The most important gain of JavaScript on the server is not sharing code but rather how does having a lingua franca throughout the organization change team dynamics, team structure, hiring, etc. This does not obviate specialization but instead changes what the specialization is, moving from the...
