Re: New Android Market APK Ripped – Get It Now!
I am somewhat symathetic to the developers but 15 minutes??!!!
I am a software designer and have been feeding my kids since 1993 by whoring my code for food. If I am unable to sell my code, my bank account goes bare. I am rarely eligible for unemployment since most of my work is 1099. And I have been jerked around more times than I want to remember by ****s that decided after months of my work that they "changed their mind".
Coding is work. Just because a program looks like a silly toy to the end user does not mean it was not serious work. People need to make money. I know a lot of guys cooking ROMs depend on donations and my hat foes off to these guys but I suspect few of them are truly doing this full time. (I am curiuous about any tax exemptions if you only take donations? Hmmmm... can I be a non-profit 503 coder and only take donations....) might me something here.
I know I am ranting. I haven't done any Android coding yet but I proably will between contracts and I want to make a few dollars.
