Or it could use a really good developer who also can design - on a contract basis. Several iOS developers can do that well enough to ship an MvP. Even more can also spin up a backend with an admin interface on Heroku in no time. Even without any background jobs. I think you guys my underestimate the concept here.
I am just mad I didn't come up with it first :-/
The developer doesn't need to manage invoice, other peoples schedules and any questions. That's taken care of by the service in question.
Specific ideas in.
App Out.
This would be great for a developer who wants to get an outlet for creative (design) ideas as well.
- dagw 11y agoThe problem is that there is often/always a disconnect between what a client says they want, what they think they want and what they actually want/need. What separates a great developer from a merely competent developer is being able to talk to clients and negotiate that disconnect. A company that simply takes a spec sheet and implements it as written will end up with many very unhappy clients.
- kyllo 11y agoThis is why outsourcing fails. Generally, outsourced developers will just implement exactly what the spec says to implement, no more and (hopefully) no less. You can't communicate with them synchronously and answer their questions in real time because they're located on the opposite side of the earth. Time is money and waiting for your answers would be too expensive, so they just don't ask questions, instead they make guesses and assumptions about anything you haven't clearly specified. Then you slowly realize that it takes about as much time and effort to write a comprehensive, detailed specification of the software, as it does to actually write the software itself.
