I don't know how useful this is.
setting breakpoints allows some sanity in the build and testing process otherwise you have an infinite scope for issues which of course would be pretty lucrative for a boutique agency.

it's really not that complicated. keep the amount of crap (stuff that can go wrong) like animations, weird font sizes and font faces, javascript to a minimum. and dont do stuff like hijacking the scroll, zoom or other common behaviours. just dont do anything unless you absolutely have to.
but thats why the web is such a hostile platform. difficult to manage high user/client expectations with pragmatism.
