Yes I am very cynical. Good catch.

The rest of your response is static and not applicable. You don't have information to back up your response, plus it's wrong.

I love programming. I'm 40 now and have been doing it since high school. I program for my day job and I program on the weekend for iPad and iPhones.

For people who don't like programming, like this ridiculous blog post, please spare us your dislike and find something else you enjoy.

I never have any of the problems that some other programmers have... it's because they are doing a job that really doesn't suit their personality.

Being emotional when it comes to programming? That's a huge red flag. Computers are not emotional. Users getting you down? Learn to deal with ridiculous user requests.

Casting about for blame? Look in the mirror.

No surprise. The pedantic nature of your complaint is common on HN.

I found the post to be perfectly clear. Perhaps you are looking for more information, and found it elsewhere, but it doesn't affect the quality of the post at all.

In my day, posts like yours would be considered'trolling'. If you have complaints with the article, communicate with the author. Why subject everyone to your random complaints?

Easy fix: Do it yourself via a web app. Web apps run great on all mobile devices, PCs, etc.

Then you can monetize as you see fit. Blaming Apple is ridiculous; you haven't lost anything at all.

I agree! Fun to see people 'claiming' anonymous cursors.

"That's me!" "Which?" "That one, with the spots!"

Mobile app kickstarters don't do well, because they aren't necessary.

Create the app on weekends and weeknights if you have a full-time job. Then release it and start making revenue.

Then, if you have ideas that need funding to improve the app, go for it.

Most people I talk to won't fund weekend project apps, no matter how good the concept seems. Get it out there and see how the market responds.
