Ethereum space is full of former smartphone app developer refugees. They are the quick-rich crowd. They didn’t see much success in smartphone app development, so naturally they flood into blockchain and saturate the space as they did in apps earlier. Modern day gold-rush fools.

Seriously tho to be a good mobile app dev actually requires a lot of hard work & solid CS skills. I’ve personally seen how hard it is to hire good mobile devs. True that the majority of apps nowadays are stupid but I attribute that more to stupid ideas than the engineers.

Otoh, the joke in the industry is that web devs are the worst when it comes to good code, due to the nature of javascript (can you even keep up with all the trendy JS frameworks
?). In that sense, JS is similar to Ethereum. Bad foundation.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -
I started out my career doing very low level SW (middleware, OS, drivers) so I’ve had the chance to see both ends of the spectrum. You can find good/bad devs in any tech platform. Some platforms just make it a lot easier to fuck up.

Also any platform that reaches mainstream adoption will naturally have a higher ratio of bad/good programmers, since supply of good devs is severely limited & high demand pushes companies to lower their hiring bar (eg: bootcamp graduates). It just comes with the popularity.

TL;DR: we should separate the quality of business ideas from quality of the underlying tech. Either could be bad or both could be bad. Mobile apps suck mostly due to bad ideas. Dapps built on ETH suck due to bad ideas AND bad tech.
