If everyone can ship software, what will distinguish the successful companies from the apps that are lost in the noise? It’s no longer enough to just spend more time coding, or to be the first with a good idea.
I think it’s going to become even more important to grow other aspects of running a software business:
- Marketing
- Customer support
- Documentation
- Building trust
- Servers (speed)
Of course I’ll be writing a lot of code too, adding features, fixing bugs. But that’s the bare minimum now.
