It’s not. I am in the field and it’s totally not so, especially if you are talking about USA. Besides de-facto dev machine (in android dev world as well) is a Mac, so probably that’s a contributing cause, but anyway I have no large scale data on this.
> I'm sure you're very knowledgeable about both platforms
Really? Why would you have that doubt? I use both the phones extensively for multiple hours a day - at least every working day. I read about the feature set, releases, read dev docs etc of both the platforms regularly - and also do extensive discussion among team (the mobile team) as well how our competitors are using the mobile ecosystem.
So yeah I actually know what I am talking about. And you? That I am not sure :)
> you have to be so condescending
Ah, I don’t think I was. Apologies if it came across that way. It was just a knee-jerk of a shitty response to a very similar comment and I am totally fine with that. If I have to reply to a similar comment in future it’d be in the same tone or mo response at all; I should have gone for the latter.
> Maybe you're just a masochist.
See, now you are being an idiot. God, HN is full of us ;-)
> Or maybe you're just afraid to admit that you're wrong.
Awww. What an insightful twist of a comment. Genius
