Tech vision at bol.com
At bol.com we like our teams to be autonomous when it comes to implementing solutions to help our customers.

Prevention is better than cure - a fundamental principle of health care that also applies to modern software development. The later a bug surfaces, the more effort it takes to repair. From our own experience we know that this especially applies to performance bugs.
