There’s a narrative taking hold right now that goes something like this: AI can write all the code, you don’t need as many developers, and the ones you do keep just need to be fast with a prompt. Fire your senior engineers. Hire a junior and an AI subscription. Ship ten times faster at a fraction of the cost.

Q1 is when HubSpot Admins lock the decisions that keep Q2 (and the rest of the year!) from turning into damage control. This is the time to decide what the system will do, who owns what, and how you’ll measure success.

It All Goes So Well… Until It Doesn’t Every software development project starts as an exciting event for everyone involved. Your client is excited that their vision is becoming a reality. You're excited about new code to write, new problems to solve, and new techniques to try. So why is it that when you show your work or present a direction, those good feelings can just … evaporate?

You already know that HubSpot is the best tool to run your business smoothly and help it grow. You’re ready to get started with implementing best practices, but where to begin?

The Paradox of Good Design Good design often goes unnoticed. Think about walking up to a door. If it opens smoothly as you pull the handle, you barely think about it. You just walk through. But if the design is unclear and you push when you should have pulled, suddenly all your attention shifts to the door. The experience that should have been effortless becomes awkward and frustrating. The best design moments rarely announce themselves—they simply work. When they don’t, you notice immediately. That’s the paradox of good design. When it works, it feels invisible. When it doesn’t, it stands in your way.

At Clevyr, we love a good theme—and when October rolls around, it’s time for spooky stories, cult classics, and family favorites that make this season a little more magical (or horrifying, depending on your taste).

Oftentimes when building mobile apps, we want to front load data to avoid loading time in between each section of the app. Today, we will look at building a simple singleton cache in Flutter, and how using it can create a better user experience.

Starting a business feels like standing at the edge of a trailhead. You’re hopeful, maybe a little weary, but determined to see where the path will take you. Every decision matters more than it should, especially at the beginning. The website you choose is not just about design or code—it becomes the foundation of your presence, your credibility, and in many ways, your confidence. And so the question arises: when you’re just starting out, should you build your website on WordPress, or should you begin with HubSpot?

Why Strategic Account Management Takes Internal Work When people think of account managers, they usually picture the external side of the job—calls with clients, progress reports, renewal conversations. But the real magic happens out of sight. The best account managers are master coordinators inside their own organizations, making sure every team that touches a client is moving in the same direction.

It’s pretty easy to have an idea. It’s not so easy to have a good idea, a little harder to communicate that fledgling idea to other people, and even more difficult to expand it into a project or product with a whole team of people. Collaborators misunderstand the purpose, ask questions that uncover new possibilities (or new problems), and bring fresh ideas that—even if they’re brilliant—can add complexity and uncertainty.

If you missed the latest Oklahoma City HubSpot User Group (HUG), here’s what you missed. We gathered to dive into HubSpot’s 2025 updates—and the theme was clear: trust. For years, many teams have struggled to fully believe what’s inside their CRM. Outdated records, duplicate contacts, and inaccurate sales notes have made it hard to treat the CRM as the single source of truth it’s meant to be.

Every year, HubSpot releases hundreds of updates. And every year, the conversation quickly narrows to the flashiest, most talked-about changes—AI Agents, predictive tools, and automated workflows. And yes, those are exciting, but if you’re feeling hesitant to fully embrace AI today, you’re not alone. The sheer scale of updates can feel overwhelming. The good news is, there’s plenty to explore beyond AI, and even if you’re not ready to lean in fully, you can still use these tools to move faster, smarter, and more purposefully.

Dear Dev, One essay recommended to me early on in my career was “Object Calisthenics” (OC) and since that time I recommend it to every developer I cross paths with. “Object Calisthenics” describes a set of 9 rules credited to Jeff Bays in the book The ThoughtWork Anthology. The goal of these rules is to empower a developer to write cleaner, more maintainable code.There is a lot of value in being familiar with the OC rules, however there is also value in conversation with other developers, and hearing their opinions on the rules. I’d like to share my opinions over the Object Calisthenics ruleset.
