Apple also locks down their ecosystem so nobody except them can actually make a "just works" product. How many smart UX people and engineers do we have on HN itself?
"But Apple has to lock it down, otherwise it would be a shitty ecosystem, just look at Windows lol" is a lame defense (IMO). There are countless ways to design open APIs, open data standards, etc while still having sane defaults for the non-pro users.
- crooked-v 5y agoAnd yet... how often does that actually happen?
- passivate 5y agoThat is a very fair point. I think it starts at the leadership level which prioritizes things like UX, quality of materials used in construction, etc, etc. You need people at the top that are not just bean counters.
