Most corporation don’t hire iOS developers because of their great UX skills. They have an entire department to worry about the look and feel of the app.

Heck Marco, his cohost, has been very successful first with Instapaper and then with Overcast. He will be the first to admit that his UI skills aren’t that great.

It’s not like Tumblr - he was the initial developer - was ever a thing of beauty.

But:

1. UI is not UX 2. Marco doesn’t have a UX department

Not sure what your point is about Marco to be honest.
