Startup Reading List | August 07, 2015 | Four articles and not one of them covers funding? "Heck no!", you say? Yes we took special attention to make the point that startups are more than just funding rounds.
In this week's edition let Jocelyn Goldfein show you what to look for in an engineer. Learn from Neil Ernst as he digs into the concept of technical debt. We love Rosario García de Zúñiga's story of being a female CTO. We thank Daniel Kob for consolidating opinions from mobile growth experts.

It's possible she's at a dysfunctional company that doesn't reward merit, but I hope someone ambitious would take steps to change her circumstances by changing teams, jobs, or location." | | Neil Ernst "Throughout our research into technical debt, we have seen multiple instances where the management of technical debt needed to extend beyond coding issues and focus on architecture issues. For example, one respondent mentioned that some initial hacking had resulted in the abuse of a communication protocol for diagnosis and monitoring, resulting in poor extensibility and high maintenance costs." | | Rosario García de Zúñiga "I decided to take part in the campaign because we need to raise awareness and challenge these stereotypes. Because I want a fair world where, again, people are taken seriously for their effort and not their background or past. Because I want to make the community better." | | Daniel Kob "App store optimization is crucial. But it's not just a quick fix - you can't just change some keywords and tomorrow you will have more downloads. It's a lot of listening and learning" by Robi Ganguly <-- Listening and learning - music to our ears. | | | You are receiving this email because you believe that the best startup articles and videos are made by active members of the startup community. © 2009-2015 Startup Digest.
