Very few people know how apps make money.

Fewer understand that Apple is a piece of shit for pulling the absolutist, crappy move called ATT which crippled the industry.

Here's a simplistic explanation on how millions of app developers monetise in the ~$100B+ app ads market:

When does getting buy in on a #strategy cross over into design by committee?

[Roberto Riccio @rriccio]

The larger an org grows, the more it becomes important to sell the work & getting credit for it over actually doing the work.

UN refugee agency says 1.7M refugees have now fled #Ukraine
British government says it’s let in 300.

@MatthiasLischka @anothercohen You’re confusing task complexity with UI/UX complexity. A complex task doesn’t require a difficult to use system.

@PaulcBitcoin @MatthiasLischka @anothercohen Concur make 747s now? 😮

@MatthiasLischka @anothercohen You shouldn’t need training to use an app

@andrewchen @andrewchen this is exciting! Unfortunately Amazon are not taking preorders in the UK, anywhere else we can try?

I'm procrastinating tonight so I'll share a quick management tool I use. It's close to the end of H1 so performance reviews are coming. I tell this to my reports: "Your work is going to be distilled into a story, please help me tell a good one so I can represent your work well"

Sigh. 1.6 Kg of CO2 = 3.5 Kw/h with the US generation mix, so to consume that in a half hour implies that end-to-end streaming consumes 7000 watts, which is off by well over an order of magnitude. We can quibble about accounting with 2x, but 10x is just BS.

Boris Johnson waffles on about how trustworthy he is... meanwhile his party rename a twitter account to #FactCheckuk in order to announce him the winner. Genuinely, who thought that was a good idea?

You have to feel for Netflix; an episode of The Crown costs them £10m+ and they’ve just been outdone by #Newsnight who bought a bottle of water and moved some furniture...
