Amongst other things, your comment implies that we choose coworkers based on personality not on professional skill. That is not the case.

I appreciate this kind of trip and culture is not for everyone. But I worry about the stereotype you project - we're not all 20-somethings, and I think even our 20-somethings would object to you thinking they had anything like "free schedul

Two of us on this trip are married, one with young kids. In this case the kids are with grannie and have a list of chores / Skype on their computers. Sometimes team members take vacation at or close to the location with significant others a

We've found it to be a lot less than that generally - almost half your estimates. [Edit] re-reading, I think your flight costs are accurate from Chicago to Spain. They are less for us because half the team travelled from London. If you are

The cost varies and we often pick cheap destinations, so it ends up being less than you might think. Jet lag can be a drag for the people going transatlantic and you do have overhead at the location - getting setup, shopping / cooking, figu

This really surprised me: > They entered the room bearing a plate of cookies. Four cookies. The team consisted of three people, but there were these four cookies. Every team member obviously got one cookie, but that left a fourth cookie

I'm changing the words on that as it is confusing - you can use Trigger.io for iOS and Android completely for free. It's only if you need to upgrade to get additional support or Windows Phone that you need to pay the monthly fee.

Well, strictly, it was a 'long weekend' :). It obviously helps that I'm already familiar with it and the other technologies I used - especially trigger.io (I'm a founder) and backbone.js. But with those it becomes pretty fast to implement t

Fixed.

Similar, since it's based on the same open source project: Weinre. We've added a tab to let you track calls out to the native bridge, see error / success codes and the response. Pretty useful when you're working on hybrid apps.

Oh my bad, looks like there was a snafu exporting from Camtasia so the screen freezes halfway but the audio continues. Fixing now... You hopefully get the gist from the audio in the meantime, or can read up in the blog post or at https://t

That's fine if you have yourself setup for native development. We're about helping web developers who don't want to do that.

Yes, there are various options including using Weinre locally. By hosting Weinre we've tried to make it simpler than making sense of these instructions for example: http://www.webkit.org/blog/1875/announcing-remote-debugging-...

Yes, there's a JS API forge.topbar.addButton for example: http://docs.trigger.io/en/v1.3/modules/topbar.html#addbutton Easiest to just specify text and use the standard button appearance, but you can also choose a specific image. You assi

The point is to get better results for the same effort. Instead of having to spend time styling the top bar and tab bar to look native, and battling with fixed positions and mobile browser inconsistencies, you just drop a line into your con

Yes, they are an established project. But most people we speak to only care about iOS, Android and the mobile web. Maybe Windows Phone next year. And they much prefer our simple dev process, fast builds, and native UI components. </plug

Yes, and by that time capturing images will not be a differentiating feature for app developers, or novel for end-users. Some other feature will be, and it'll be native. I talked about this point in the article.

Instagram did not and should not have used a cross-platform framework, we're agreed on that. Plenty of other people and companies should though. Fact remains that cross-platform is here to stay. HTML5 or iOS alone are not going to win the w
