Imagine all of the well connected and wealthy parents behind the scenes that enable this to happen.
The average person like you or me would never get the approvals rammed through at Google.
Please don't be cynical on HN. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
My parents nor did any parent step in to help me on this application or the approval processes. Furthermore, the approvals didn't get "rammed through". It took me quite a bit to actually acquire their entitlements and app review approval. I dislike when people assume just because I live in "Silicon Valley" I automatically have everything handed to me. If you would like to learn more about how the processes that I took to achieve this feel free to ask!
I would – as an admirer.
