I would love to create an app that makes $50k a day and lasted even a week. I wouldn't care if it was a fad at that point.

Imaging making that amount of money for a programmer in a developing country (in this case Vietnam), it would be insane, making $20k a year as a developer in my country is considered a well payed job. If you could make $350k in a week that would mean 17.5 years of a "well payed" programming job.

No kidding, if I had made Flappy Bird I’d be writing an article about how my days of working were just a fad.
