(stupid) Entrepreneur: I'm looking for a developer

Developer: Ok, I'm a developer

E: I need some information about you

D: Ok, what kind of developer are you looking for?

E: I need a full stack developer who can code in C++, C, JS, HTML, PHP, Ruby, Java, Visual Basic, Pascal, C#, Python, Perl, rust, and ADA. I'm looking for somebody with at least 10 years of experience with artificial intelligence.

D: In fact, you're looking for Superman.

Startupper: Hello, I'm looking for a CTO

Developer: Ok, I'm a full stack developer, I probably can do what do you need.

[The startupper tells his idea to the developer]

D: Is your idea validated?

S: How should we do it?

D: Asking people, for example, if they'd pay for your service enough to make your business model work.

S: Ok, got it! Do you want to work with us?

D: Yes, but I won't start developing an idea that isn't validated.

S: Ok, we'll do it.

D: What about my compensation? Do you want to give me a salary?

S: We don't have money

D: Do you want to give me equity?

S: No, the idea is mine and my cofounder's, not yours.

D: How do you want to pay me?

S: Our project will be a success and you'll get exposure and a work in your portfolio

Startupper: Hi, I want to introduce you my new idea, it will revolutionize the world.

Investor: Ok

S: Perfect, can you sign an NDA?

I: Goodbye

S: b-but....

A few years ago many people were developing apps for EVERYTHING, 

e.g.: Mary the babysitter of Cincinnati APP, Ted, the smallest store of Kansas APP. LOL

To help people creating apps some companies launched services to develop apps without coding. The result is that there are millions of apps in the App Store and in the Play store.

Apps were very useful because they let us access to many services using fewer resources.

With the new App Store developers guidelines, Apple has decided to delete applications created via online services or templates. The result will be a reduction of the number of applications in the store.

This will be a problem for many small businesses which can’t afford developing an App from scratch.

This probably will be the end of the App Mania. We’ll reduce the number of applications and many applications will be replaced by responsive mobile websites.
