So it looks like they're pre-announcing a developer platform as a way to support the launch of a consumer app (Livestand). But the actual developer bits aren't actually available yet? What?
Why are you wasting my time, Yahoo? Who does this?
- joshu 15y agoTypical Yahoo. Maybe someone announced it so they could claim the buzz as progress? Didn't you work there?
- jeffreymcmanus 15y agoYes, I founded and ran Y's developer network, so I would have been the one to tell these guys that they can't pre-announce a developer product. The last year I ran YDN we were the most productive product organization in Yahoo, releasing a new developer product on average every month with a team of six people. A few years after I left I'd heard the team swelled to over 100 people and they had essentially stopped releasing developer products.
- joshu 15y agoYep. I'm familiar with the pain...
