@DazeEnd Strongly agree with the closing paragraph, too. Do something really niche or really hard. A good way to give yourself some space.
I wrote a thing: "The Prisoner's Dilemma," on game theory, patronage, and the race to the bottom. http://metakite.com/blog/2015/11/the-prisoners-dilemma/ …

@marcedwards@DazeEnd Seconded. -
@jaredsinclair@DazeEnd Related: I don’t think this discussion absolves platform owners from their role in this problem. - View other replies

@marcedwards@jaredsinclair Agreed 100%. The App Store is a managed economy. Apple has many policy levers it can pull to encourage pro apps. - View other replies

@DazeEnd Brilliant stuff. I agree that patronage isn’t the model most devs can or should be using. -
@marcedwards Thanks man. That means a lot.

@DazeEnd Great write up. I do think “begging” is a more appropriate term than “patronage”. Makes development more akin to street performers. -
@brianalbers Thank you.

@DazeEnd I mean, I understand it, for the Rock Star developers who have *actual fans* but outside of that, it makes no sense to me. - View other replies

@cribasoft I know. I'll be watching Castro closely. I really like those guys, so I hope for their sake that they succeed, but I have doubts. - View other replies

@DazeEnd in my (limited) experience, people won’t pay for stuff unless they have to (and they want the stuff).

@DazeEnd It almost mirrors Microsoft’s willingness to let hardware companies fight for scraps of profit. -
@concreteniche Commoditize your complements, right?

@DazeEnd Excellent. Especially the last paragraph. -
@jmwolfinbarger Thanks. I hope it makes people think. That's the hope anyway.
