10/10 - I'm extremely happy after I decided to stop pursuing web development and switch to native mobile. I started doing web development in 1996 (15 yo) and around 2012, I was extremely frustrated. There were too many frameworks, databases, and tools which just made tradeoffs of solving one problem for creating another. It seemed like web products weren't getting better and the brittleness of development was increasing. I started mobile development in 2008 when the first iPhone SDK came out and fully switched over as a career in 2012 and I couldn't be happier.
- amelius 11y agoAre you also maintaining Android versions of your apps? At least the web, with all its faults, targets all platforms at once.
- joeblau 11y agoI don't. I recognize that Android is definitely a more dominant platform. My best experiences in mobile have been working with a strong native Android developer. I do love the web for some things, but for what I'm really excited about, the web is just the wrong answer--yet people keep trying to make it the right answer.
