Was watching a great 2010 interview with
Steve Jobs
. One interviewer asked why
Apple
wasn't supporting
Adobe
Flash
, which at the time was The way to make interactive UIs... remember back then the interactive web was still nascent. As in many developers would make an Adobe Flash application and their websites would simply load that into the page.
Apple bucked the trend by not supporting that in their default browsers that came with the
iPhone
and
iPad
The interviewer hilariously talks about this great app that was 'so good'. I don't even know if it exists anymore. But he was using it as an example for the consequences for not supporting software such as Flash.
Jobs remarks about how there's plenty of software in the bygone days that were huge and that constantly new
software
will win out. Also he accurately and astutely stated that they are open to supporting respectable standards such as
HTML
5 in this case.

It's been six weeks since I've gotten something to work! That's a long damn time to not get anything to work, especially when one's getting paid. For six weeks I've felt at times like the most hard headed,

We specialized in

. There was actually a time when we considered going into desktop and native applications, but the demand for web apps was just too big that I guess my partner and I never even had the chance to decide. Our path was chosen for us.

Similar to
Maslow's Hierarchy
of Needs, I can recount going through stages with different levels of intimidation when confronting software. In the beginning, any thought of
code
intimidated me. Any mention of apps, the command line, or even
HTML
websites struck the feeling of imposterhood deep into me.
