Nigerian Developer.. What Should We Develop For, Money, Fame Or Fun by remmyz(m): 6:03pm On Jan 21, 2013 |
Last week, in the Lagos Technology User Group, an argument on what programmers should develop for when it comes to application development started in response to “Blackberry gives away a total of $500,000 to developers”. Here are some of the comments posted on the discussion group: “I don’t think we should be programming all because of money giveaways and competition. Let’s work on creating solutions that other continents would use and solutions that will determine the future of technology. Just coding because of money will make us slaves and consumers. This is modern slavery.” ~ Ayoola Ajebeku “That’s true. Coding should be based not on the money but based on the creativity and passion for the app or web…I support your idea…” ~ Udeme Samuel “Some of us have passed the period where we code for fun. We now focus on making money from whatever we create, so, as long as money is made from an application, innovation is not exactly a priority. ~ Oluwapelumi Oyetimein “Does that mean people that seek to develop money spinning apps or services are not innovative? The way I see it, you need to be extremely innovative in the software development world if your app/service is every going to make a dollar. There are a lot of people out there who’ve done what you’re trying to do, hence you need an innovative mind to surpass your competitors!” ~ Omonayajo.O “Some develop for fun, some to solve a problem, some to learn new skills and others to kill boredom. When you start paying bills you’ll understand better.” ~Olufuwa Tayo http://otekbits.com/2013/01/nigerian-developers-take-on-the-question-what-should-we-develop-for-money-fame-or/ |
