isthmus_··on CodePush by Microsoft
I'm actually okay with this. It's not my app. The designers know more about UX than I do. It's not like you can change device permissions through this. I've been learning digital UI's all my life, I can handle things shifting around and changing features. I'm happy with anything that gives devs more agency over how much they can improve their product. My only worry is that it might be too easy to push updates, so less testing may go into updates because the threshold to do so is low. Kind of like what happened to video games once you could patch things.

There's also the fact that your business needs to be built to handle long term contemplative projects. Stereotypical Silicon Valley startups are built for fast, reckless growth which cannot and will not happen with a government contract.
