Uh, they're the most well capitalized corporation in the world (or hovering in the top 3 plus or minus a few quarters). They have the resources to make it work if they wanted. There are undoubtedly thousands of engineers, hundreds of managers, and at least a handful of execs, working for Apple, lurking in this HN thread today, not because they're unaware of their ongoing sabotage of web standards on iOS, but because they're completely aware of it and want to take the temperature on how their latest kick to the shins of PWAs is going over.
- millstone 7y agoApple really does run with very small software teams. It's cultural.
- madeofpalk 7y agoI’m fully aware of how much cash Apple has, but they’re known for having very relatively small software teams looking after whatever app needs updating that release. I wouldn’t be surprised if Safari/WebKit was one of the larger teams within Apple dedicated to a single app.
