It makes sense that sleep deprivation is the reason for App Store being such a nightmare.
sleep deprivation and coke would explain so much
How would you say the App store is a nightmare?
Discoverability doesn't exist beyond what Apple shows you. Search is Amazon level of random. Pending updates were moved to account settings to make space for Apple Arcade.
It's "great" when you search for the name of an app verbatim and it is like #4 or #5 in the search results.
I don't mind that last one truthfully, but I use Apple Arcade sometimes. I hate in app purchases enough to tolerate the paltry selection.
But that's fair on the other two points.
I adore concept of Apple Arcade and use it as well (mostly for ad and IAP-free versions of classic mobile games). Regardless of this I think it should have been a separate app like other services. Apple compromised usability to promote AA which is weird because usually they have enough restraint not to do stuff like that.
I feel like my usage pattern isn't bothered by that, but I understand.
I feel that way about the "sports" section on Apple News. It's in the way, and they've moved so far from the magazines thing which is all I like that it feels like they don't value me as a user of that specific App.
Really I just hate Apple News for so many reasons and I want to love it.
Lots of shovelware. Lots of apps that are just websites wrapped in an app wrapper. Stuff slipping through that are obvious copies of other apps. Malicious apps getting through the approval process. Piracy apps getting through the approval process. Support links on app pages that lead to nowhere.
What are some piracy apps that have gotten through?
My biggest complaint is all the apps without recurring costs that are subscription-based.
It has gotten challenging to find good and useful apps that aren't just a bunch of the worst dark patterns mixed together these days.
What is this the 2010’s? CEOs and their dipshit staff trying to make multitasking great again? They think 80 hour work weeks is a flex? How’s his family? In a shambles or non existent? These rich people are such losers they just keep embarrassing themselves.
I obviously don’t have any inside information, but my guess is that he’s not flexing with this, he just can’t let it go, he probably should. Especially since he’s already halfway in retirement.
Anyone who works that much, or at least that much not for themselves, is a fucking loser
Work smarter, not harder. Hire quality people underneath you who you can rely on to perform, so that you aren’t having to do all the work.
Talking about working 80 hours a week isn’t the brag you think it is. It means something is systemically wrong.
What an idiot
Allegedly Tim Cook does the same thing. Can't imagine what he'd be doing 16h a day, but I've heard he's almost always at Apple Park
It’s not a flex, it just means something is fundamentally broken if it needs that much babysitting to work properly.
Sounds like he has a work addiction.
How hours a week do your sweatshop employees work?
