This is how I see things. As a user, I don't want to have to set custom specifications for my browser (especially since a lot of sites will break them).

I just want a site to look good as a _baseline_, and then I can resize / adjust if I really need to.

The hard thing is, most people aren't programmers, nor do they know you can set your own preferences. With this topic I tend to think of building things for the lowest common denominator.

Again, the sharing icons seem to be annoying so that's something I'll take into account.

You're right, the featured image is usually terrible for most blogs. Thanks for the feedback on the share icons - definitely annoying and will tone them back on mobile + images.

It would be a whole lot of effort for me to write a 3.000 word advertisement.

You're right, that's a pretty terrible sentence. Not to use this as an excuse, but it's hard to write an article that covers multiple points while still going deep on each.(without making it ridiculously long*) It's probably part of my lack of experience as a writer - still working on it! Thanks for the feedback.

Fair warning: This article is geared more towards a less-technical audience or true beginners.

This post outlines what cross platform development is, the drawbacks and the benefits, and more.

Of course this isn't the *only way to succeed with consumer software, but it seems to be the most consistent business model we see working.

From my perspective, revenue is awesome. Selling someone's data or getting people addicted to micro-transactions (the only other ways people are succeeding) doesn't seem like a desirable business to be in.

What are your thoughts?

This was well before I worked here. We were still college students at the time and he actually received a seed round of investment from a young angel-firm.

They were the ones who advised he worked with said company, so he thought they knew what they were talking about. Long story short, a partner was friends with the owner of this 'development firm' that ultimately created this mess.

Just another example of how bad advice and bad investors can kill your startup before it even gets started.

That's slick. I can't say that I never thought about outsourcing work I was tasked with in the past as an intern. It was so tempting to pay someone and just watch youtube all day. (I didn't end up doing it)

I imagine there's a whole lot of that going on these days at companies who would never think to check for it.

It’s not rare to see endless amounts of advice on principles and best practices to follow when hiring.

What is rare, is for all of this information to be applicable in practice and not just theory.

In this post, our in-house recruiting specialist outlines things you can do today to be better at recruiting developers to your team.

If in fact this is completely irrelevant to anyone browsing HN, let me know and I'll pull it to not waste anyone's time!

This is part of a larger implementation guide but I think some people will see value in this. We work with companies every day to build web and mobile experiences that connect back to Salesforce (a la Heroku).

Since it's getting more popular(easier) to build web and mobile apps connected back to enterprise systems, people should have a good understanding of what it actually costs to do so.

Also, you'll probably discover that Salesforce consultants charge much higher rates than you thought.
