There are definitely more than just those that are mobile optimized, and tagged as such. Some even that work well on mobile, but don't have the tag too
I'm assuming Android has created an army of app developers with roughly transferable skills.
I'm also assuming it has killed the interest of many of them putting the work in developing open sourced solutions in an increasingly closed source ecosystem.
Fuck you, big tech.
The world owes so, so much to Linus, even if most people will never appreciate it, or why. He's an actual fucking hero. I mean, he seems a bit of a dick, but the kind of dick that's usually technically correct, which is the worst kind of correct, but I still idolize the man. Not many people could turn the money I'm sure this guy has turned down.
