Great story of a successful failure.
The app was a failure, because he learned everything he needed to know by writing the app.
There are a lot of software projects that fail in the sense of not being released or used, but valuable from what was learned in the process of developing it.
Agreed, just went through this after spending a year and a half adding a bunch of cool real-time features to an app of mine that no one asked for. Still a win because now I’ve “done it before” :)
