But now that I think about it, I’m not interested in encouraging all developers in the first place. “Mercenary” developers, for example; if the only thing that drives you to update and improve your app is an increase in sales, then I don’t really care about you one way or the other. The people I want to throw money at are the folks who actually use their own stuff, and want to keep tweaking it so they can get more out of it. Developers like that aren’t gonna abandon their products or hold out for an upgrade fee before innovating. As much as they need to pay the rent, they also want to make Cool Stuff, and they are among my heroes.
