 John lives and works in Schaumburg, a suburb of Chicago. He works for a 20 person web development company. A typical project for them involves 3-5 people working on the project and lasts 6-12 months, though they're sometimes called upon to squeeze in a quick (1 month) project and they also have some long term customers for which they are maintaining apps that they've been in the past.
-John, like the other developers in his shop, describes himself as a jack-of-all-trades. While working on a project, he'll bounce around from doing a bit of Python on the server, to building out a UI in JavaScript, to keeping track of some stats with Redis.
+Some of the company's projects have demanded more people than were available and the company has outsourced some of the development. John has had to integrate the outside developers into his day-to-day workflow.
+John, like the other developers in his shop, describes himself as a jack-of-all-trades. While working on a project, he'll bounce around from doing a bit of Python on the server, to building out a UI in JavaScript, to keeping track of some stats with Redis. Many of their projects have PHP servers, but they've been gradually shifting to Python.
 On past projects, John (and others at his company) have been burned by adopting some promising new technology a bit too early. Since then, John has tended to wait until a new library or tool has proven itself.
