I think its a bad idea to drop things based on how excited your engineers are. If you go that route, then plenty of companies producing boring software and industry specific products will just die.
- xt00 10y agoYea totally agree in general -- in this case I just mean that its so obvious right now how much focus Apple puts on their money making products that engineers at Apple would see the writing on the wall and they too would not be that interested in pushing the product forward -- likely the people who worked on it if they were smart tried to bail out of that group long ago. So if both the management and the engineers both don't want to work on something, then both the money and effort is dropped on the product and its dead. When Jobs was alive, people could get Jobs to approve it as a pet project and they would get money and people on it and it would move along. But nobody seems to be pushing those pet projects at Apple anymore.
