That’s right, I’ve officially “made it big” as an (open source) app developer. Why? Not because I’m going on 70 (open-source) apps in the app store, nor because of the revenue they generate.

The year was 2005, and it was spring. I had been working at my first post-graduate programming job for about 2 years, and my PC was an aging Pentium-3 600.
