  Really? I didn't know that. I'm sure he has plenty of options though.

      Thanks!

  Looks like Google was onto something when they rejected him to start with...
• allsystemsgo 10y ago
  Yeah I'm curious why he left. From what I could tell it sounded like changes in Swift took an act of congress basically. Which is fine, and how it should be, given how important it is to get it right. I wonder where he went.

    My understanding is he just doesn't really know how to work in a big company.
    • aphextron 10y ago
      Meh. I know "how to work in a big company" and choose not to. Talented people will always do whatever they want.
      • eridius 10y ago
        You choose not to, but you could if you wanted to, right? He apparently wanted to, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to Apple in the first place, but he just doesn't know how to work in a corporate environment. In fact, he says as much in this tweet: https://twitter.com/mxcl/status/773574683518119936 https://twitter.com/mxcl/status/773574683518119936

          You seem to be looking at this through a somewhat unusual prism. You and I both "know how" to eat discarded food out of a trash dumpster. But absent some truly compelling reason, we wouldn't choose to do so, right?
