Apple really needs to spend a whole release cycle just fixing existing bugs instead of making new features.
Even simple things are faltering, like when logging in, macOS stops registering keypresses in the middle of entering my password. Switching screens around when docking my MacBook Pro. Important features like Time Machine silently corrupting your files.
It's such a shame that macOS just keeps getting more buggy. I've read from multiple (ex) employees that there's no real incentive to fix bugs, since employees seem only to be rewarded when they're working on prestige projects.
What good is investing so much R&D into new hardware like Mac Pro when the operating system is the limiting factor?
- mixmastamyk 7y agoI wish Apple could multitask, but they haven’t in years.
- saagarjha 7y agoTheir OSes have been able to since 2001, but evidently their engineering team is much less adept ;)

- passerby1 7y agoOrganizational inertia cannot allow this switch to fixing issues. That just don't happen at once because now a lot of people work in an environment rewarding them to only new feature development. This can be changed by replacing the whole tech organization motivation culture. Better at once.

- basejumping 7y agoI had so much frustration yesterday while renting a movie from Apple TV for my kids. I wanted to view it on my wife's laptop (also a Macbook), apparently she can't download the Apple TV app unless she subscribes. I had the app from when I had the TV trial. Overall such a poor and buggy user experience, not going into details, but I hear these devs are getting 400k/yr for not giving a shit about the overall user experience.
