@HHaandr @amrayupon @android_poet @RevenueCat But most categories have winners who has gotten a lot of visibility on X or other platforms. Even the growth category is impossible to win unless you have a big budget or work with an influencer with a big following. Just take a look at last year’s winner.

@android_poet @RevenueCat This was the main issue I had from last year’s Shipaton winner where the person that won the growth category had a marketing partner with thousands of followers. Let’s be real. All the judges use X and of course they will see posts for that app so it will be more likely favored.

As @SantoshYadavDev said, “Don’t burn bridges,” but I think we should all learn to agree to disagree.
If criticising the results of a competition can affect my career, or if people are going to assume I’m just hating on the winners (which isn’t true), then we have a bigger problem. Disagreement should be normal and healthy.
A lot of people have things they want to say but hold back because they’re afraid it might affect their careers. I don’t agree with that. People should feel free to express their opinions, even if others don’t like them. Say what you genuinely feel, respectfully and honestly. We shouldn’t have to agree with everyone just to protect our careers or maintain our image.

If RevenueCat’s Shipaton was all about how many followers a person has, then what’s the point of making it a competition?

@android_poet @RevenueCat It is a marketing scheme to get people to integrate RC and sign up for their services. I got annoyed when I saw one of the winners was a habit tracker… seriously? They’ve lost all credibility for me.

This tweet was more about the “Clucky” alarm app, as I believe many other apps are better than it. That said, RevenueCat has every right to choose whichever apps they want. However, I still think it’s unfair to other developers who have built better apps

BTW, I won’t be participating in any future @RevenueCat competitions. I don’t see the point of building apps and hyping things up when it all seems like a marketing gimmick

I rewatch Breaking Bad every few months. That’s how much I love this show, and now it’s going to be difficult for me to watch it again

Journalists are turning into Dev Advocates,
Here’s my prediction: Companies will start laying off actual developers and hiring famous faces instead. This is what management has always wanted. They’ve always hated having to pay actual developers

first they let enough slop onto the App Store, and now they’re removing every account they can

Apparently, the USA and China are the biggest user bases for my open-source libraries, even more than India. India has only around 2k events, compared to nearly 1 lakh from the USA.

Big companies are allergic to actual engineers. That’s why people with “Open Source” positions in their profiles often have one talk at some random conference and zero actual contributions to open source

Yeah, because they want to pay peanuts, treat salaries like they’re doing employees a favour, act bossy and arrogant all day, and still expect top talent. That’s why they’re always hiring.
India does not have an unemployment problem.
India has a mediocrity problem.
Every founder I know is always hiring. Always. There is not a single business owner in my circle who is not actively looking for good people right now.
What they are frustrated with is not a lack of candidates. It is mediocre applications. Mediocre interviews. Mediocre work.
The jobs exist. The standards to get them are not being met.
That is a very different problem. And it needs a very different conversation.
