Spike Brehm has a habit of popularizing terms in software development. You may have heard of “Isomorphic JavaScript” before; that’s a term he popularized through his work on the Rendr library (though he humbly gave credit to Charlie Robbins for coining the term). In a recent conversation I had with Spike, he made me aware of the concept of a “greenfield app.” Spike as rendered by an Airbnb intern.
