Wouldn't surprise me if these type of apps were maintained on a per-contract basis. Godspeed though

Comcast has a 60 story skyscraper in Philadelphia (tallest in the nation not in Chicago or Manhattan) dedicated to technology. I'd be surprised if there's not a team of people working on the iOS and TVOS apps.

  Most of that skyscraper is rented out to others

  There are a few towers in Houston, LA, and SF that are taller.

    No, the Comcast Technology Center is taller than any building in Texas or California at 342m.

      Why is it so tall? Rainier Square in Seattle is 58 stories and only 260m. Columbia Tower is 76 stories and 284m. Also according to Wikipedia the Comcast Center is only 297m and is the 31st tallest building in the USA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comcast_Center https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comcast_Center EDIT: I see that Comcast Center and Comcast Technology Center are 2 different buildings. Not confusing at all... guess that's typical for Comcast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comcast_Technology_Center https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comcast_Technology_Center Also looking at it, those top floors are... well tiny as fuck.

        The top is a hotel, I think. For rich people, so yes.

        Oh yeah I think I was looking at the other building also.

  You’d be surprised at what a company will contract out that you’d think should be a core competency.

  Exactly. A whole team of people dedicated to managing a single subcontractor working on the iOS and tvOS apps.

  The comments on this topic are sub-reddit quality. You're right, they have multiple dev teams for everything you'd think they would. It's a real shame how far the quality of posts have gone on this site.
