Apple's Software Quality, Continued
- valarauca1 12y ago>The good thing about the nightly builds was you didn’t have to use them This is kinda a huge issue. If you are developing an OS there really isn't a reason everyone at your company shouldn't be on nightly. More bugs will get discovered faster. Fear of dogfood, or celebrating not dogfooding your product tells you everything you have to know about the state of that product.
- rcarmo 12y agoI'm still on the public Yosemite beta program. Their current beta update broke the Wi-Fi on identical MacBooks again, so I've held off on upgrading. Imagine that happening at Apple HQ. On the same topic, I heartily recommend iOS folk with external BT keyboards try turning on Airplane mode with the keyboard on and then fiddling with the home button. For me, it sometimes pops up the "secure" (black) on-screen keyboard WITH MY LAST PASSWORD AS A SUGGESTION. I'd love to know if that's common to everyone with the latest iOS public release.

Exactly who ever pushed that patch would be skinned alive, and likely never make that mistake again they'd vet their code more before committing it. Linux developers frequently run release candidate patches on their home development systems. Why? faith in the product, developers, and developer-ecosystem.
