"I want to engage in a witch hunt to make myself feel better about my status as a developer." Who cares? </thread>
Reminds me of the iOS 7 release...and the iOS 6 release.....and all the ones before that as well. EDIT: Oh, and the OP forgot to add the most obvious option to his poll, why would anyone pay full price for a dev account if they're not a dev? I'm sure most non-devs who install betas simply pay $8 to like...anyone....to register their UDID under their dev account. But that's not an option so I can't vote. The fourth option should be "None of your goddamn business".
I've seen too many of these threads in my day to believe that. Many developers are genuinely irritated that us "non-devs" (geeky sense of superiority) get to play with the same new toys they get without even having to pay for a dev account.
Where is the "I know how to program very efficiently but because I have no desire to actually write and publish apps I am not enrolled" option?
And the "I'm not a developer and beta testing for a developer." option. Hopefully this goes to the Wasteland and we can avoid all the bickering.
This question became irrelevant the moment Apple created the OS X beta program. If it ever was relevant that is. The exclusivity of the dev club is dead. Died a long time ago.
