Also as a front end developer (who does UX / design), I think I can get about 80% in most situations, but the additional 20% is what makes sites like airbnb stand out so much. In those cases, I'm happy to hire someone and code it myself, af

I think it's interesting that Dave Winer decided to do this as a blog post instead of a HN discussion. Instead of having a conversation with the HN community he decided to have a conversation with his readers.
