They only went after the app a few years after the show was in its prime (it was making ~40$ a month more or less) so I just removed the application from the Android Play Store as that was all they were asking for.
It was just an Android soundboard app for a very popular TV show in Spain. You could tap a button and it'd play some funny sentence from a character from this show. Long press, you could share that sound.
Revenue model: a little ad bar on the bottom of the screen.
It grew from 60$/month to > 1000$ in around 6 months, only through word of mouth. That lasted another 6 months or so until the show became less trendy.
Probably not very sustainable as I was piggybacking on the popularity of the show, but it taught me that making money was 100% not about writing 'the bestest codes'.

Maybe you were not aware because it's a plugin, we kind of have that problem in the Foreman community, plugins are not as visible as they should and they can contain key features.
I'm really sorry but if you're 'big upping' anyone in any job because their skin tone matches yours, it is a big problem no matter the RGB of that tone. I'd be embarrassed every morning when I see my face in the mirror if I treated/hired some of my peers better just because they 'look like me'.
Great article overall, but I cannot say I agree with this 'we take care of our people, you take care of your people' attitude. Whether in a minority (hint: I am) or in a privileged position, I believe you should treat everyone equally, reflect on how you've been doing so and try hard to overcome your biases. I'd love to hear other people's comments on this.
Still, what does %{scope} actually catch? Anything that's not %{type}, %{description} or an explicit character?
I didn't really understood the format rules, so if the author posted this, a help section would help. I try to enforce
'%(type) #xxxx(: | -) %{description}'
In particular, use cases that demonstrate its value proposition are lacking, API docs miss examples, and the manual has some outdated parts. The layout of the site is a bit dated too, but "it worked for us".
Most spam emails are just a few words of plaintext, I'm surprised too the size of the stored corpus is spam in the same percentage. It seems like a few emails with medium-large attachments would outnumber the spam content which should be in the kbs/email at most.
--------------------------------
We are looking mostly for self-directed full stack software engineers and also for product managers.
---------------
What will you do:
Work on cutting-edge operating systems, develop kernel modules, develop software for the cloud (Openstack), virtualization libraries such as Libvirt, Xen, RHEV. Ceph is our bet for distributed block, file, and object storage. JBoss is our topclass Java middleware. Identity management is what you're into? Then join us and help us build FreeIPA. Foreman and Katello are one of the leading solutions for systems management for physical and virtual servers. We need people to help us develop OpenShift, the best open source Platform as a Service product. I could go on and on.
-------------------------
What will you get:
Excellent benefits
Competitive compensation
Work remote when you choose to
Work at the office when you choose to
Live by the open source mantra
Mentorship when you need it
--------------------------
I think you get the idea, we have so many products, and we need people mostly into systems, great coders, smart, and who get things done. The technologies you've worked with are important but it's more important for us that you can hit the ground running. C, C++, Python, Scala, Java, Ruby, LISP are just some of the languages we use here. We would like you to have at least one area of expertise.

Is the self taught dev in your example ahead in work experience and financially? For sure. For how long though? I've personally seen brilliant people stuck in positions they don't belong in just because people generally prefer to give an opportunity to the most educated fellow of the group. Anyway one of the reasons I enrolled in college because I wanted to learn stuff I would probably not have a chance to learn while working. College opens a lot of opportunities (living abroad, studying abroad, prestige internships) that self-taught people usually can't simply 'break-in'. As a simple example, research groups are usually closed to people with college degrees. Not to mention the friendships, freedom to learn new things, the environment in which you can fall and stand up again easily, that college provides.
On the other hand, there are some benefits you can't just dismiss. Try telling a Japanese immigration officer you want to apply for a skilled worker visa because you learned a bunch of stuff contracting and on the internet.
I'm not saying the world is right not taking self-educated people as seriously as college educated people, but as long as the world works like that, self-taught geniuses will be at a disadvantage the same way college-educated punks will have an advantage.
PS: I purposefully didn't start to mention that the upsides of getting a college degree are virtually the same in the US as in places where the ratio 'upside/price' might be much higher.
Not only I got to see a lot of places, but I truly accomplished more quality work than I normally do in a similar time-frame. Nearly zero distractions other than the occasional beautiful sight and the rest breaks I took, I had the chance to visit the surroundings of the major stations the train stopped at.
Perhaps it's my ability to sleep in the weirdest places, but I found the sightseer lounge car couches very comfortable. I went to bed 1hr or so after dusk, and I woke up with the morning lights. That's about 8h of sleep or so every night.
PS: Make sure to download a metric shitton of music before you do this. The sightseer car (the only place where one can truly work comfortably in the train) is usually a noisy place.
- At least € 50000 on capital stock
- A civil liability insurance that covers up to € 150000 per year.
Also individual donors must not donate:
- More than a total of € 6000 per year on crowdfunding projects
- More than € 3000 per year on a single crowdfunding project
Funnily enough, political parties in spain can:
- Get donations from individuals for up to € 100.000 yearly.
- Foundations or associations owned by political parties (think tanks) can receive limitless donations.

- 401k match and bonuses from the start. RSUs after you've spent a significant time in the company.
- Lots of problems to solve in areas that are out of reach for a lot of startups.
- Good work/life balance in my experience.
- I am 100% remote, and I'd say 50% of my team is remote too.
- There is an office in Mountain View, but your house is probably more comfortable ;)
Again this is just my own experience, I definitely recommend it.
Just as a curiosity, CERN uses something similar to this (LANDB) as its source of truth for the physical infrastructure. [2]
They do pay royalties to some artists, and at least for a while a lot of upcoming artists were advertising their new albums there. I discovered a bunch of great groups through that.
Unrelated with revenue, but I liked how some artists (Avicii comes to mind) ask you what do you think about X song when you play it in Grooveshark, that's some valuable direct feedback. The radios are awesome too.
Can't hide the fact I've been using it for years, but I truly think Grooveshark is the best music streaming service by far. Spotify's catalog is nowhere as large, Pandora misses on so many features, Last.fm recommendations are good but what else do they do...
Everything worked out of the box, the only minor issue is that bluetooth audio connection with my jambox is sometimes lost, but i could never even get it to work with a Mac.
