- alasdair_ 7y agoThe money thing is more a power law thing. There is DEFINITELY money to be made in the app store (I worked on an app that made a billion in revenue in seven months from a product with only twelve engineers directly working on it) but it’s almost all going to the winners in a specific category.
- jklm 7y agoCan you share the space your app was in out of curiosity?
- alasdair_ 7y agoPokemon GO, it’s a game.
- lifeisstillgood 7y ago>>> I worked on an app that made a billion in revenue in seven months from a product with only twelve engineers directly working on it uh? Can you indicate what? How many other apps have similar penetration?
- sdrothrock 7y agoHe's mentioned working on Pokemon Go before, so I'd guess that.
- xxpor 7y agoYeah, that's a much better way of putting it.
