Meet the non-agency

Once upon a time, not long ago, three blokes worked for an app development agency. They loved creating products from scratch. In their respective fields, each saw how customers could be better served.

The first folk, Oscar, went to his manager, bowed his head and said "oh, ancient one. I thought long and I thought hard and here is how we can serve our customers better."
The manager said the feedback is good but it will not see the light of day because the agency has other priorities.

The second folk, Arthur, went to his manager and said "oh wise one, here is how we can better delight our customer." The manager thanked Arthur for his initiative and agreed that the ideas are good. "Unfortunately, the agency has other priorities."

"Friends of mine!," he said again, "Let us take up our own yoke and plow our own land. Let us create a non-agency. A collaborative of engineers and designers, of dev-ops and data scientists. And let us do right by our customers. And let us offer non-custom solutions if such exist. And let us not exceed budgets. And let our customers' delight be a beacon by which our progress we shall measure. And let us be a beacon in the dark for all souls weary of outsourcing. And let us sleep soundly at night, for our consciences will be clean."

TL;DR + Our Happy Faces
