I didn't ignore it, I specifically added "while most indie devs get to work and release steady updates over the summer"
Each year between June-September, I see release notes for indie software like CleanMyMac, Gemini, Hazel... with fixes and improvements for the upcoming macOS. They seem to welcome new stuff with a sense of excitement and eagerness.
In the audio world, there is an attitude of conservatism and an untold expectation that users are always several versions behind, that I haven't seen in any other field I care about.
- richrichardsson 6y agoThe differences are: - those small developers only have 1 or 2 products to update - audio devs generally have a larger set of products - audio devs need to keep creating new stuff, it's kind of hard to just rest on your laurels (with some exceptions) in that space I see it from both sides of the coin: as a user it annoys me that every year my inbox gets crushed under the weight of "DON'T UPGRADE!!!1!" mail outs, and as a solo developer it's hard to update all my products AND find time to create something new. I'd rather not be one of the developers who just sunsets products because they can't be bothered to continue updating them.
