So Paul Allen was friends with a friend from a wealthy family who sent their son to Harvard.

Wildly deceptive title: the author of this blog post is not the same Paul Allen as the 62-year-old cofounder of Microsoft.

Allen in the late 1970s.' So this was well before mobile phones, Skype, chat, etc, etc.

Correction: Sorry, Sarah Nir is the journalist, not Allen.

What do you see is being done to combat the issue of big contractors (Booz Allen, CGI, etc) who don't want the gov't building software with small teams because it would hurt their ability to obtain huge billion dollar contracts?
