Crowdsourced DevelopmentQuotes from David Feinleib, entrepreneur, vcdave.com • great developers treat the code and your project overall as if it were their own. • it’s one thing to have someone knock out a prototype, but another to build something scalable and maintainable. • Odds are, you will not have good success with the first developer you choose. Don’t hang on. • Treat developers well, take the time to explain the rationale for your designs or approach, and you’re far more likely to get great results in return.
