indefensible: john gruber

this guy also does put this on the 'dress like a grown up' blog

plz rephrase that in the form of a sentence

lol http://daringfireball.net/linked/2016/01/28/guardian-apple-recruiting

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"

http://daringfireball.net/linked/2016/04/08/talese-voyeur

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.

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

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.

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

instead of a home button u throw it (or yrself) in the river

pinboard going in on df right now

I make sure to block The Deck with hand-crafted, elegant code I wrote myself.

lol

it's the platonic ideal of ad blocking code

refuse to update it or allow anyone to make changes, imo

congrats to slutsky!

congratulations to the tories

please tell me at least a hundred people have responded to goole's link with a link to his tories congrats tweet

I expect Tim Cook to handle himself just fine. I think he’ll leave Trump Tower with his dignity, integrity, and Apple Inc.’s interests under a Trump administration intact. (Getting a bill passed to repatriate foreign-held dollars at a reasonable tax rate could happen in the post-Trump political climate.) But, man, to be a fly on the wall in that room if Steve Jobs were still alive…

worst slashfic ever

congratulations to the tories
