  • During the initial and development stages, the top tech workers were headhunted and paid a lot to set up good infrastructure. Now that the infrastructure is already there, when there’s not much new development being done, they ended up being considered overpaid with respect to the works being done. These companies will end up getting rid of this ‘overpaid’ workers and replace them with migrant workers that they can get for a lot less.

    Yeah, that’s typical of him. He went dormant for a long time during the first major version of Sync for Reddit, accumulating some quite critical bugs. But suddenly he came back with a new look of Reddit Sync, full of features, impressed me so much that I just let go of the past.

    My hunch is, he would (try to) come out with the best app, and then move on to something (that we don’t know) so that he can support his life. Sync for lemmy is not enough to economically gain the critical mass for him to do that fulltime. But once awhile, he’ll be back to fix some critical bugs like what he did about a month ago for v0.19.

    Yes he should do more and add more features. I myself only encounter non-critical bugs and don’t use Sync for mod, so I am still be satisfied with its current condition. Others surely have different requirements.
