Sorry if you felt that I implied that being a christian made someone a better developer. I certainly don't believe it does. I know many great developers that aren't christians. The reason I said christian developers is because to see the needs and challenges that we face you need to "walk in our shoes" so to speak. Yeah, a Bible app is obvious but what about an app that helps missionaries in the field complete a specific task or an app for a specific church need. Many of these problems you would only realize if you are an involved christian living your faith.


Would you say we need more medical doctors who are also developers or musicians who are also developers?

It would be enough if a Christian identified these issues that could be solved with software and found a developer who could build that software.
