app development is just writing code right?

fucking WRONG.

turns out for your app to be successful you need to watch hundreds of people use your app, meticulously record where they get stuck or get bored, and then fix that.

Repeat forever.

You don’t really “build an app.” You babysit it while humans break it in ways you never imagined. And then you rebuild it smarter…

It’s amazing the variety of ways humans can break things. And apps can be built ‘to spec’ in many ways, some definitely not fit for humans.

This sums up the destiny of just about any long lasting project.
