This is a shitty response. You won't make money if you design the app poorly and can't maintain it.
It’s a business decision. Why would for example an app that’s only needed for a 24 hour event need to be maintainable?
Sometimes it’s ok to take the money and run. Feel free to make your case, but it’s not a developer’s call to make.
That sounds like bad business. No application is 100% unique in everything. Code reuse saves time. If you are unable to bring anything from one app to another, you're doing it wrong.
Let me guess though, I was right. You're a manager not a developer.
You’re wrong. But the fact that you live this dichotomy so deeply is not a great sign.
? I mentioned it twice. And you sounded like a manager a little bit in one comment, and then a lot in the followup reply to it. To the point it sounded like you were defending it. Making claims that developers aren't allowed to make the choice you were saying to make. So it was really weird. I don't even know how your stance makes sense from your point of view.
Edit: and thanks for ignoring anything of actual value to reply to.
