So you went from being able to handle at most 10 or so of these tasks you often get per week, to >500/week. Did you reap any workplace benefits from this insane boost in productivity?

That phrasing is misleading. You can absolutely publish apps that target versions of iOS prior to iOS 18; eg all my apps are iOS 15+, I published one as recently as last week. You can build an app with the iOS 18 SDK that target previous ve

> the updated tools tend to drop support for older SDKs and devices. You have to kind of go out of your way to keep your app targeting them. You can see how this plays out by getting a second hand iPhone 7 today and go to the AppStore lo

"I worked at Apple for 12 years, making tools to empower creative people [...]" I think this was the hook that got many of us to admire Apple as a company (and more broadly, to get excited about computing as a discipline/indu

It's really hard to extract computing from the capitalistic, consumerist cradle within which it was born. Every other human creative practice and media (poetry, theater, writing, music, painting, etc) have existed in a wide variety of

Not necessarily a bad plan per se, but don’t forget to take into account the fact that this jobs/rental crisis might be due to deep systemic+geopolitical issues that are only going to get worse and that we might not be going back to th

Yes, this is a solid succinct summary. I’d also extend the last point: > talent is deeply concerned that they will be reduced and replaced, going from high paying careers to fast food salaries The delta in that money going to the investo

The author also wrote “Steve Jobs was wrong: we do not need to carve the unseen feet in the sculpture. Nobody cares if the logic board traces are pleasingly routed.” This tells you all you need to know about the kind of work the author valu

There are two kinds of engineers. Those who can’t stop raving about how much of a superpower LLMs are for coding, how it’s made them 100x more productive, and is unlocking things they could’ve never done before. And those who, like you, fin

These people are 1) unbelievably rich, and 2) their name is everywhere (the latter being easy to achieve if you have the first). For most people, that’s enough to inspire… something.

The most disappointing thing about Jony as a designer is how nouveau-riche he is. Since he left Apple, he’s been designing for Ferrari, King Charles, $2500 jackets, etc. It feels quite at odds with Jobs’ original visions of products that we

If you’ve spent any time around little kids, you’ve certainly seen that making shit up is a natural inclination of the human brain. Ideally, as one’s intellect matures, one learns to stop doing that, and build coherent reasoning, only speak
