I think so, too. He has a much more direct, down to earth way of talking to people.

This is very true, and it's a PITA when the corporate design team doesn't know anything about mobile design and thinks mobile apps are just "Honey, I shrunk the web app" with some Figma plugins to help. It can be an uph

Same for me, and my mood is worse from having to reset when I'm thinking through a tricky architecture problem and Foghorn Leghorn in the next office is talking at the top of his lungs on speakerphone.

I'm looking forward to this going live. I've worn the "we have an app!" BLE enabled hearing aids and am currently wearing a pair of amplifiers I got on Amazon for $200 and they've lasted almost two years. AirPods

I still have signed copies of some of their books that I got when I toured their offices a few years ago. They created a really good space for developers with private soundproofed offices for the extroverted sales types to yak on the phone

It isn't that paradoxical. Waiting until the last minute can make a you victim of the "overhead bin space" pirates who load up the bins with stuff that should have been checked and leave you to worry about gate checking.

>This Web App support needs to die, until Apple finds a way to prevent 3rd party from digging into our personal info. Yep. Otherwise iOS will turn into "Blade Runner" with ads everywhere you look.

Sorry, this stupid trope is everywhere on HN. Unless there are solid OS-level ways to block nefarious PWAs this would turn the iPhone into the same toxic dumpster fire that IE was back in the day w.r.t. security. How many "browser ta

Back in the day MSFT bolted IE into the operating system to a greater degree than Apple has done with Safari - a ton of the DLL's relied on IE for a lot of UI components and IE had ActiveX that literally hosted executable content in a

It's tempting to think so, but IME users download apps to get things done more than they want to "ooh" and "aah" over an app's UI changes and I've been an app developer since 2009. It's all too easy

Great value to whom? The only value I've ever heard of that made any sense at all was "saves me money and lets me change things and publish them faster" and that (as other commenters have said) is a developer / manager

They are not imaginary problems. And Apple's DX isn't "incredibly poor"; coding SwiftUI views with Canvas and the #Preview macro is a dream compared to farting around with Eclipse or one of it derivatives.

My point is that web development is a lot more of a moving target than iOS Native Development and it's largely because Apple makes the hardware, the software, the development tools and the languages and frameworks and they all work tog

One really good thing about native apps versus PWAs is that once the user installs a native app and learns the way it works they don't need to learn it again until they upgrade. With anything sourced from the web, the user is at the m

TBH, this doesn't seem all that different from a CEO for one company serving on the board of another company or two.

Per https://www.phonearena.com/news/iPhone-vs-Android-How-often-... , a relative handful of users switch between Android and iOS. That does not seem to qualify as "all the time".
