Why is it not a good idea to develop Products in an Agency?

After reading Project Phoenix, an insightful reader can get how essential DevOps is and how it can save their business. This story begins precisely where many CTO’s stories ended up: disastrous mess, tech debt, the legacy system being unable to deploy any new feature to production in a reliable time.

From the moment I realized the Paradigm of software development has shifted, I became a firm believer in composable commerce. Then my next thought was that the frontend-developers are driving the technological changes. They’re using and mixing the backend and API more like utilities solving specific business needs while keeping a healthy buy vs. own balance.

I still remember my first professional job as a developer. It was around 15 years ago. I was in charge of C++ based (MFC libs for Windows 32) code editor. I still remember struggling with some COM object model and the migration from 32 to 64 bit CPU architecture. The tasks that took me around 3 weeks to complete. Testing out my pain-tolerance. Providing virtually no business value — so immediately afterwards I got fired.
