I agree that Apple’s documentation needs help (this year’s improvements are a nice step) but can we really expect them to provide extensive documentation for handling edge cases (you’re telling me UIKit docs offer that)?
- heavyset_go 4y agoYes, I expect a trillion dollar company to invest in good documentation of their dev products.
- worik 4y agoMy feeling is that Apple hates the developers that develop the software that makes them rich. Forcing myself to be rational "hate" is probably too strong a word. If you are down the Apple cul-de-sac there is really no turning back. So investing in things like code examples for all of their API (there are a few, a very few) is a waste for Apple. It does not attract new developers and the old ones are stuck in the cul-de-sac.
- ummonk 4y agoI suspect you’re ascribing an unrealistic amount of intentionality and rationality to the prioritizations of a giant bureaucracy.
- diffeomorphism 4y agoThat sounds very different from what was written? The complaint was about "lacking ... any kind of" yet you write about "extensive documentation". There obviously is a trade off with how much you can/should expect, but "you cannot expect 9/10" is not a valid reply to "it currently is 3/10".
- elpakal 4y agowell thats good because I didn’t say “you cannot expect”, did I?
