This looks really good.

Just for fun, try pulling one of the spider's legs and bring it close to the web! I really like how it clings on to the web.

goyalpulkit··on Why LinkedIn dumped HTML5 and went native for its mobile apps
I don't understand the basis behind most of the comments blaming Linkedin for making a move towards native. I think that development time and code maintainability are some of the things in favor of HTML5 apps as opposed to native ones and if even this becomes difficult with HTML5, I don't see any harm in switching to Native apps given that they will almost always be better (or at least equal) in terms of performance.
goyalpulkit··on Why code?
I think its better if everyone does what they are supposed to do. I cannot imagine how learning to code will help sales and marketing people to solve problems of the world.
goyalpulkit··on Why code?
> Everyone should study code , for the same reason we should study mathematics, chemistry, economics, philosophy and ethics, local and world history.

I lost you here. EVERYONE?

goyalpulkit··on Why LinkedIn dumped HTML5 and went native for its mobile apps
Their marketing is quite aggressive (I have been receiving "Last month to get Linkedin Premium for free" weekly for about an year!) but I wouldn't call them spammers.

goyalpulkit··on Your First iOS App – 100% Programmatically
I don't think that Auto-layout is buggy at all. It is, however, not very intuitive and requires using it the right way for it to work!

I pity the engineers whose managers read this list but don't go all the way to the end.

All I was thinking was how wrong could this be until I reached the 17th slide.

goyalpulkit··on Best app/software for Bookmark organizing?
I have been using http://kippt.com for quite some time now and it is great not only to organize your bookmarks but to find new interesting links as well.
goyalpulkit··on This is how we work with clients
> We also explain the client that anything that does not get revisions or comments from them is automatically approved.

A really good post. I hate it when the clients ask for last minute features (for free) after not saying a thing about this during the development.

goyalpulkit··on In India, engineering students outsource their academic projects
In "good" universities in India, this rarely happens.
goyalpulkit··on Ask HN: We are 23 and 24, should we apply to Y Combinator?
Seems like a good idea. We'll surely give a thought on this. Thanks
goyalpulkit··on Ask HN: We are 23 and 24, should we apply to Y Combinator?
We are not sure how good our chances are without an idea. Anyways, do you happen to know anyone who got through without an idea in the previous funding cycle?
