These guys struck me more like frat boys than SW Devs. They both said they are SW Eng but they totally shied away from going into any details about that. They didn't know any of their stats. Andrew had to walk them through their profitability numbers, wtf?
Used to be SW devs. I used to do .NET programming for a big DOD contractor, then worked for a local internet startup for while, but why talk about my old career? That would have been boring. Plus as we tried to explain, at some point you have to let go and not micro manage every individual stat and app. I'm sure if we did that we could make some more money by optimizing, but that's not what our business approach was about. We wanted simple, stress free which gives us time to do other things. We're not experts, we don't have a degree in business or anything like that. Just 2 27 year old guys from San Diego who wanted to make a couple iphone apps.
I've actually been doing development since senior year high school. Started with ASP then PHP, .net, c#, java with gwt. I don't know if I'll ever do any of my own development again though. I do enjoy programming, but I enjoy doing other things more honestly =).
