chookrl··on Poll: How often do you deploy to production?
Interesting report. It's a bit off-topic but I think at least with the AppStore Apple failed to separate bug-fixes (minor) updates from major ones - creating the feeling that updates should be kept to a minimum.

Regarding your backend, are you using any type of CI?

chookrl··on Students to e-textbooks: no thanks
I believe that educating young people using ebooks is extremely useful. Just ask my 6 years old niece, if you can get her attention while she's using my iPad. Trust me, it's hard. Getting more educational stuff to technology is the way to go. In a few decades it's all what we'll have.
