Oh wow, Elon figured out how we’ll finally get AGI. The key thing is to publish an automatic mobile client update every single hour of the day! That was the secret productivity metric that every single other company was missing. Thanks, big brain business boy!
On the contrary, the rate of mobile app updates being high is more of a red flag of an app development team not having the situation under control, being forced to panic-ship fixes.
Why? I genuinely think that daily delivery in my field (b2b specialized software) would be a very good practice. Why in mobile apps it’s not the truth?
It’s a bit different with mass market mobile applications because of the supply chain constraints - most notably the Apple reviewing process. Your next app release may for whatever reason they feel like unexpectedly take an additional week, so do ensure that your QA is in order before releasing.
Another significant factor is the lack of control you have over the software once released - any bugs you ship may potentially be out there for a long, long time.
Web applications don’t have these constraints and can as such be deployed an infinite amount of times per day. The same goes for backend services, deploy to your hearts content.
This basically means that most larger mobile applications have adopted approximately weekly release cadences, and that we’ve had to get very good at using feature flagging to control our software in the wild, and avoid large impact of shipped bugs.
Ahhh… now that makes sense. Thank you, kind stranger!

Oh who are we kidding, they probably don’t do merge requests, they just push to master.
Only such an idiot can think that pushing 2 updates a day is a good idea.
I have some apps that havent been updated for like a year because the simply fucking work.
Nah, its a great idea. Bug fix, and then hot fix for the new bug you just deployed!
This is nothing new. Workers trying to fake productivity to fool the capitalists, no matter for what reason capitalists think they deserve.
