> Could you imagine if people could make the kind of money developing things for Linux that they do developing things for iOS? It would make comments like yours kind of funny and relevant.
Yeah, one has to admit that Mac users are a more receptive audience for the high-brow humor of sophisticated fart apps.
- DannyBee 13y agoNow now, don't be mad because what he says is true. It's unbecoming. If you really care, put your effort into making it false.
- amznthrowaway 13y agoIt is false. I and my coworkers make plenty of money developing for Linux. Also, we're hiring: http://aws.amazon.com/sdejobs/ http://aws.amazon.com/sdejobs/
- nsxwolf 13y agoDo you all make money developing Linux software for consumers? Anything my mom may have used, perhaps?
- reinhardt 13y agoAnd consumer software is the only one that matters because..? In any case if your mom uses the interwebz, she has probably used Linux software, both free and money-making.
- nsxwolf 13y agoAre you saying it doesn't matter? Or that it matters so little you can justify just staying out of that market entirely? Yes, the whole world "uses Linux" in one way or another. But Linux is not a viable consumer platform (No, Android doesn't count).
- pavanky 13y agoWhy should companies care about selling software for $9.99 when there are free alternatives, while instead they can focus on other things where they really add value ?
- amznthrowaway 13y agoAbsolutely. For example: https://www.neflix.com https://www.neflix.com https://www.amazon.com https://www.amazon.com And we're not the only people making consumer-oriented Linux software. For example, https://gmail.com https://gmail.com .
- vor_ 13y agoStaggeringly ignorant if you think the Apple ecosystem is nothing but fart apps. Seriously, I haven't seen one of those in many years.
