Admitting Your Mistakes #AppFail | Rapture In Venice: A Mobile Developer for iPhone, iPad, and Android Development in Denver, Colorado

The software industry is like no other. As members, we accept some pretty nice salaries, but not without sacrifice. We work hard hours in front of a machine with very little human interaction (even if some of us prefer that). We routinely work extra hours for free when projects slip. We ALL bring our work home with us in the form of laptops and mental baggage. (I personally can’t sleep when I have a strange bug haunting me.) And god forbid you spend some time relaxing in the evenings, you’re falling way, behind in a technology race that would put Usain Bolt to shame.

But the worst aspect is the machismo front we have to put up in order to protect ourselves from looking weak. Well. Not this blog.

This past week had me face a nightmare I’d always feared but hoped I’d never have to face. And I’d like to share this story with you because while I’d like to spend the time convincing you of my overwhelming awesomeness, I’m far from it this go around.
