Apple’s ‘Planet of the Apps’ is even worse than you thought

You knew Apple’s reality show Planet of the Apps — in which entrepreneurs present their app ideas to celebrity advisers and then a panel of investors in the mode of Shark Tank — was bad. But did you know just how bad? Dubious ethics, terrible advice, heavy-handed branding, and the sense that no one knows what the hell they’re doing: Here is a comprehensive guide to Apple’s Planet of the Apps, available exclusively through Apple Music.

Happy 10th anniversary to the iPhone, ‘a revolutionary product that changes everything’

Today is the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, which first went on sale on June 29 back in 2007, and we’re taking a look back at its launch and early reception.

• Because Of Steve Jobs’s First Public iPhone Call, Starbucks Still Gets Orders For 4,000 Lattes

ethics – Is it unethical for me to not tell my employer I’ve automated my job?

So I’ve been doing it for about 18 months and in that time, I’ve basically figured out all the traps to the point where I’ve actually written a program which for the past 6 months has been just doing the whole thing for me. So what used to take the last guy like a month, now takes maybe 10 minutes to clean the spreadsheet and run it through the program.

Super Mario Run runs into bad press

Despite the overwhelming popularity of Super Mario Run, it seems that the game is also racking in some unfavorable mentions.

• Super Mario Run is too boring, easy and not worth $10

That’s the end of Super Mario Run for me, I think. I really don’t have any reason to dive back in, and I feel like it was a waste of $9.99.

• Previously libdispatch from the Snow Leopard days was pure C, now native Swift

Programming Pitfalls: Cors & Spring Boot

Spring Boot is an offshoot of the popular Spring framework and brings many conveniences from modern non-Java web development frameworks to Spring developers. It’s related to the Spring MVC framework but is more geared toward use in a mircoservices architecture.

Feedback

Daniel Gee:

I\’ve heard that if the requirements of a codebase shift more than 25% or so, it becomes faster to start from scratch than to try to update the code. Greg Wilson brought it up in his talk \”What We Actually Know About Software Development, and Why We Believe It\’s True\”. Basically, the most costly part of coding isn\’t the coding, it\’s the nailing down the requirements. Once you have those, starting over is relatively cheap.

Dev World Hoopla

• AppGratis Pay to Play

For example, this document shows AppGratis estimates a ~$300,000 buy will land an app in the top five slot in the US version of the App Store.

• The market for paid iOS apps isn’t dead – Marco.org

In most categories, if you either solve a new problem that a lot of people have, or solve an old problem in a new and better way, you can sell a paid app today just as well as you could in 2008. In fact, the market is much bigger now. But, as with any maturing market, you’ll need to do more to get noticed since so many problems have already been solved so well.

The bar is higher, but the market is fine.

• No, the market is not fine

Like Arment, I agree that the bar is higher for apps than it was just a few years ago, but I contend that the bar being higher is a problem for the average independent developer. Many of these developers simply do not have the capital required to hire a decent designer and effectively market an app.
