You are assuming that your single developer is capable of everything, and has time for everything - writing mobile code, writing backend code, DB, DB optimization, profiling of all the code, setting up analytics, documentation, etc etc etc.
If you can find a guy like that, and if he can write maintainable code, all "way under" $100/hr minus designer's salary, you've struck gold. People like that are extremely rare.
- ivix 14y agoI really doubt a v1 of an app would have much if any "optimization", profiling, analytics, or documentation.
- EliRivers 14y agoUnless you hire actual professionals, rather than some chancer who read a ruby book once.
- rorrr 14y agoWell, you get what you pay for. That's the difference between some random dude and a pro. I deliver my v1.0 products optimized and documented. Analytics is pretty much a requirement these days, executives absolutely need to know how their app performs.
- mgkimsal 14y ago"I really doubt a v1 of an app would have much if any "optimization"" It would need to be written to be optimizable.
- matwood 14y agoI really doubt a v1 of an app would have much if any "optimization", profiling, analytics, or documentation. I would argue that the majority of the easy apps are done. Anything more complicated than a fart app will require profiling and optimization. It's easy to forget that iOS and Android are embedded systems with a finite amount of resources.
