For four days, starting on March 29th, we’d like everybody involved in building products (both for our customers and internal development) to down tools and work on something different. You can work by yourselves, in your current teams or form new teams – it’s entirely up to you. The only aim is to create something relevant to Red Gate that you wouldn’t have created otherwise

Tinkerer’s Sunset [dive into mark] - a hacker’s view on why the closed application platform is a step back.

I myself cannot see a benefit of limiting developer access to your platform? The famous review process for the AppStore could still be enforced, with open access to the platform (aka the monopoly of the application revenue stream).
