It depends. If your work is to create a new counter app every day to support some specific, single usecase, in other words you write a lot of simple apps and not a single complex one, then it’s definitely a win for productivity.

> create a new counter app every day to support some specific, single usecase

sounds like the kind of thing that programming was invented to eliminate

Who actually does this for a living? And where do I sign up? :D

In all seriousness, I've never worked at a company that did anything like this. What is the use case for creating lots of small apps as opposed to maintaining a larger product?
