I think it's perfectly fair to say "this took me an hour", but statements like this always come with history. Dude probably spent at least hundreds of hours getting proficient at programming, app design and iOS development specifically.
I don't know if that's misleading, encouraging or simply talking to a specific target group.
- laurent123456 7y agoYes this "1h", if true at all, reminds me of this story: > It always reminds me of the story about the woman who approached Picasso in a restaurant, asked him to scribble something on a napkin, and said she would be happy to pay whatever he felt it was worth. Picasso complied and then said, “That will be $10,000.” > “But you did that in thirty seconds,” the astonished woman replied. > “No,” Picasso said. “It has taken me forty years to do that.”

What it means is that even though his skills could allow him to work on much fancier, complex applications, this simple 1 hour job made an enormous impact. Just think about what you do best and imagine if you could redirect the same energies somewhere else and maximize your payoff with a minimum of effort. It's not a feat that's easy to reproduce, but it is something we can all learn from.
