Appcelerator Engineering Week Twice a year, all engineers gather at Appcelerator HQ. So last week I enjoyed the soft California winter, San Francisco beer week, friendships, but above all a great time with my colleagues.

Now it was time to settle down, have kids etc. So I accepted a job with a small, local web development […]
