I’ve been saying for a while now that recruiting and talent retention are the single biggest problem Apple faces. But my take on it is subtle.

*proceeds to say stuff that is wrong an untrue*

But my take on it is subtle. <<shd be included in every thinkpiece lede

john gruber seems like exactly the kind of guy (too young to be a boomer, but a boomer at heart) who would think gay talese is still "killing it"

Fits in with his antideluvian taste in movies

nothing worse than gen x-ers who are aspirational boomers

remember when he tried to say that apple wasn't killing the web because iPhone apps technically use HTTP, which is the web

lol

In case you'd forgotten about his stupid notes app.

hmm he created markdown? i had no idea

yup p legit accomplishment tbf

you'd think he would have mentioned this at some point before

like the time he launched the effort to build a new Mail client? It was called Letters or something and was like the king of vaporware

my markdown naivete joke almost made it past you, you're really off your game :)

[shakes fist]

Can't wait to see his take on Apple Euro fine. Will he manage more than the "Good" he gave UoC?

I finally unsubscribed after that particular hot take. What a fuckwit.

lol

I consider myself a connoisseur of button clickiness.

enjoyed him getting clowned by pinboard yesterday

Blames the shitty new home button on China!

I could wind up in the minority on this point, but hands-on room feedback was on my side, and, well, I consider myself a connoisseur of button clickiness.

Blames the shitty new home button on China!

lol - the obvious reason is that they want to have a year of feedback on a home button-less iPhone before they move to the edge to edge, no-button iPhone 8 as is the rumor - but yes, let's blame China Grubs
