Lesson's learnt building the Guardian

Below is a collection of my favourite responses I gathered from Guardian engineers when asked the question: What have you learnt starting from scratch and building a mobile-first next generation web platform for the Guardian?

• Work with great people.
• Deploy like crazy. This means the team has to control the infrastructure as well as code.
• Design is not a service. Designers have to sit in the team.
• Infrastructure is intrinsically unreliable. Discard and replace is the robust strategy.
• Use your CDN for HTML too.
• Don't always do as you are told.
