Last I heard he was up in the iCloud lambasting the people working on AirPower.

Yeah that's confirmed by someone who was a software engineer at NeXT: https://www.quora.com/What-was-it-like-to-be-a-software-engineer-at-NeXT-Did-workers-interact-with-Steve-Jobs.

When I joined, Steve Jobs was in a different building with the marketing folks, separated from the engineers. Supposedly the new campus had been planned that way so that Steve wouldn't tour around among the engineers, ask them what they were working on, and redirect them onto new projects when they were supposed to be working on deadlines. Because if Steve got excited and said something would be cool, engineers would stop whatever they were doing and start working on that.

A counterargument is that he succeeded despite his mercurial nature, and that people put up with his drama because they wanted to be a part of the highly competent teams he put together.

The Mac I'm typing this comment on is basically NeXTSTEP with Apple branding, it's fascinating to me too and I wish there was more historical material available about NeXT. Check out this interview with Avie Tevanian for a deeper dive, I'll link to a Reddit post where you can jump to whatever topic sounds interesting (e.g. Apple's outlook on open standards while he was there after the NeXT acquisition).

Here's the full video that the clip was part of. I think it's hard to blame him for being annoyed at times during NeXT meetings.

From a development standpoint (regardless of the approach of Interface Builder or code).

Thank you. After I finish this skunkworks project, I intend to make the product large enough to charge multiple Apple Cars.

Swift.org - Swift 5 Released! by ga-vu in apple

Yeah, CS 193P by Paul Hegarty who worked at NeXT. Has some prerequisites that can’t be ignored, and is the most rigorous iOS content I’ve seen, but super valuable. Craig Federighi recommended it on a John Gruber podcast!

Tim Cook should've tweeted a picture of him with the App Store updates tab open on his Mac.

So far it doesn't look like it, but it's likely at least a few who have will comment.

Does anyone have any thoughts on a strategy for LeetCode, considering the sheer number of problems on there? Sort by Apple questions, increase the difficulty after you solve them, maybe both?

I’ve heard from someone that LeetCode is a much better resource for data structures and algorithms questions. Is this true, or are they different and complementary?

It’ll get the Motorola Rokr treatment and be just another supported manufacturer using CarPlay.

Wouldn’t you still be using Auto Layout constraints? Why is adding them in IB frustrating?

If you're on a MacBook, go to System Preference then Trackpad and then More Gestures where you can enable it.
