One line of code that did cost $8k

I think it was bad and risky idea.<p>You create MVP and you make 20 decisions like this a day. I probably thought &quot;why not&quot; as it was stopping anyway and I released a few versions a day at times and wanted to get feedback and crash reports quickly.<p>I did change it now to 3 hours.<p>Why downloading it without user confirmation?<p>Well - because this is how Electron auto updater works under the hood (checking for update = downloading it) and it cannot be customized without implementing a lot of the logic by myself. I&#x27;ll soon modify it and do exactly that, but I was creating MVP, got traction and as solo dev I had to carefully pick things to focus on. Electron auto updater works and is battle tested so I picked it knowing this limitation and suboptimal flow.<p>---<p>So I understand a lot of critique you&#x27;re making and I agree with it. It&#x27;s just I was making compromises, iterating quickly and making silly mistakes.
