That's a shame. They should have picked up someone for this around employee number 8-10.

  Panic's business is making apps that run on your local machine. Most of their functionality isn't cloud-based. There's no way a full-time server admin should be one of the first ten employees; it's not even obvious that they have enough work to keep a sysadmin busy full-time doing stuff that isn't contributing directly to the development of their apps. When you only have ten employees, you don't pay one of them to spend all day watching log files.

    After learning what they do I am even surprised the author did extra mile to fix the issue this way. I would probably just go with some CDN.

      But why increase operating cost if you can try to get it resolved otherwise?
      • imhoguy 9y ago
        All right, once resolved it wouldn't make much gain. My lazy attitude excludes human route usually but it paid off to the author. Lesson for me here: to give a try with people more often.

    Which is why distribution using the App store is so great. You don't have to worry about distribution, payment... Too bad not all Apps will work in the restrictions Apple created.

    Well, they tried to do their own thing outside of the app store. You'll need someone working on reachability, deployments, performance, security, monitoring, etc. Or just use the Appstore.
