Have you tried to be wealthy and/or an important app developer?

    What are you refering to? HN guidelines? I was just trying to be funny as well as point out the obvious reason why Apple won't care about him :)

      I think s/he is saying - Rule 1: be wealthy, Rule 2: be an important app developer

        Of course that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

      I think it's a play on a fairly common meme from Reddit. Early example here: https://www.reddit.com/r/seduction/comments/3cdmps/rule_1_be_attractive_rule_2_dont_be_unattractive/ https://www.reddit.com/r/seduction/comments/3cdmps/rule_1_be...

        It’s an SNL sketch from years before reddit existed.

      Wondering if 1 or 2 are achievable when spending 100% of your time programming.

            Do you know anyone important who spent 100% of their time programming? That rules out books, talks, blog posts, entrepreneurship, etc. That's your answer.

  Quite right, basically if you're an established company, the app store works with you to establish the guidelines
