What did I just read? I know all those words, but I can't escape the feeling that there's some local slang here I don't know. Shortcut, complication, iteratio

  Yes. Tot is a basically a scratch pad type app for various Apple platforms. Shortcuts is an app included with macOS and iOS to automate stuff on your system. It’s a drag and drop scripting language, basically. Complication is what they call the little widgets on an Apple Watch face. This term was borrowed from traditional watch making, where things like dates, moon phones, chronographs, etc are called complications, as they make the movement more complex/complicated. Modular Face is one of the watch faces on the Apple Watch that lets the user add a ton of complications.

  Shortcuts is Apple's block based programming language for automating stuff between apps. Pretty barebones but still useful. Just so you get an idea of how limited it is, the only way to emulate a normal function is to recursively call the entire program with different input parameters and skip down to the right region of code. Complications are just the little informational widgets on Apple Watch faces. Just like on normal watches. Iterations had no special meaning here. The Modular face is basically one of the lockscreen options on an Apple Watch. It dictates the layout of complications. Don't know why it was mentioned so specifically.
