Interesting story. He said/she said stories like this, though, are often difficult to parse. Regardless of what is fact, what is fiction and what is in between, the allegedly sheisty developer Daniel Pasco seems pretty flippant:<p><a href="http://twitter.com/#!/dlpasco" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/#!/dlpasco</a><p>&#62;&#62; My side of this story is actually pretty funny. May tell it sometime.<p>This type of attitude seems like a poor response when your business is dependent on clients. I certainly wouldn't want to work with someone who, when our working relationship gets difficult, treats the issue as a joke.

I don't get the modern trend of airing your dirty laundry in public like this.<p>Just comes off as shit-stirring to me and makes me want to avoid both parties.

Matt Drance's Twitter alter-ego, Batdrance, put it pretty well:<p>"I like to complain publicly and play the victim when my business partners do anything I don't like. Who wants to work with me?"<p><a href="https://twitter.com/batdrance/status/33276755297046528" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/batdrance/status/33276755297046528</a>

I have a some good friends who work at Black Pixel and had the fortune of meeting Daniel Pasco (and others on the Black Pixel team) a few days ago, just after MacWorld. They're all class acts and damned good at what they do. I wouldn't hesitate to work with or refer someone to them, period. I don't know anyone who wouldn't. Aside from Casasanta, apparently.<p>I don't know the full story. I don't know what Casasanta is hoping to achieve by posting this. But, I do know other stories from people who do contracting that have been left hanging by him or have refused to work with him due to insane deadlines. And thats enough for me to think that this is a load of bullshit on Casasanta's part to try and make himself look good for whatever reason.

I don't know either of the men involved, but consider the source:<p><a href="http://www.bynkii.com/archives/2008/01/come_on_crybaby_cry.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bynkii.com/archives/2008/01/come_on_crybaby_cry.h...</a><p>(For anyone who doesn't remember that MacHeist drama from a couple years ago)

For what it's worth, I talked to John over a year ago and he mentioned his frustrations with how slow the project was going. After Daniel posted his tweet, I could see this coming.

After running the app, it looks nothing like that graphic.

What developer with a real backlog takes customers without a willingness to make a deposit? Following this advise is a sure way to get the type of developer they're alleging Pasco is.

tap tap tap, famous in the iPhone dev world for making tons and tons of money want to crowd source the development of an app? I wonder if having tap tap tap as your publisher is worth a 60% cut of the profits.<p>There is a pretty sweet plasma globe game in the store right now <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/plasma-globe/id400905823?mt=8" rel="nofollow">http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/plasma-globe/id400905823?mt=8</a> if you're looking for ideas or want to see what is out there already

Whether or not Black Pixel is at fault, John Casasanta has guaranteed that <i>no</i> iOS contracting company with a reputation to consider will want to work with him, ever.
