Every­one codes

 - 

Ten years ago, we wrote about the emer­gence of grass­roots com­put­ing. We were well into an open source, so­cial, web ser­vices land­scape where the tra­di­tional CIO func­tion had per­fected generic IT, but was only be­gin­ning to em­power em­ploy­ees to build the tools th... More »
