"The most common delays in web development are when work passes between individuals."

Especially when it's completely unnecessary. Some of my recent work has taken longer than it should b/c I'm having to debug my work through my supervisor. By through, I mean that he insists on watching the error logs on a remote server for me, and then telling me what the error is, and then I can adjust my code. My request to gain access to the entire stack so that I can debug my work on my own was met with defensive arguments.

"This has been described by Douglas Crockford—the inventor of JSON..."

He didn't invent it.
