> It is wild that even a company like Panic, as well-loved, and with one of the richest histories on Mac, gets the same treatment as anyone else from App Store

  > This is because App Store reviewers are ignorant of Mac history and of most everything else, as evidenced by their frequently brain-dead rejections Microsoft's App Store reviewers are vendor staff from the same agencies that provide fungible CSR staff - the App Store reviewers I personally know are all good people (and it's unfair of me to put them in the same category as CSR workers) buuuuuut they aren't all computer culture historians. So I assume it's similar at Apple (though I gather Apple prefers to have FTEs under their direct control instead of using agencies?) Now I'm curious how Apple handles the reportedly higher-than-average employee churn in those roles, as I heard that 6-18 months was a typical stint at MS's App Store reviews office at TEKSystems on Willows Rd - though I know people that stayed in that job for over 6 years, but they were never able to transition into a blue-badge role and were stuck as Orange Badges - which just isn't right.
