I wonder how do all those freelancers doing native mobile apps manage, or how we did back in the heterogeneous days of home computing.



They manage because they're paid to work on one platform, not a solo developer trying to launch their product on all platforms.


They are paid to work on whatever platforms the customer is hiring their guns for.

And again we managed as solo developers, or with very tiny teams to do that in the context of 8 and 16 bit home micros, which meant writing lots of Assembly and hardware specific code in the process.

So I guess strangely younger generations cannot manage to go to school bare foots uphill in snow both ways.
