Yeah, I know, angular.js is MVVM and not MVC. It still sucked. The boss chose angular because he wanted to pad his resume with angular.js experience, and not because it was the right tool. That startup is still stumbling along, but wasn't as successful as it should have been.

(In angular, when you edit data in the view, the model is immediately updated, which is why it's MVVM and not MVC.)
