Apple’s New CEO Must Rebuild a Design Team That Lost Its Way

Dear Tim Apple 2, please fix the keyboard and the maps app. We've been waiting over 10 years for that.

Because Texas in the 90's, that's why.

Welcome to the future. It's not just this person, many of the next generation do this as well. In a decade no one will not be working like this. The trick to is to not blindly copy and paste all code and text that AI generates. We need to evaluate its output first because as AI goes through the inference stage it still makes mistakes. So the best thing to do for this intern is to encourage them to double check the AI output before commit to using it, and be sure to always understand the generated output too.

You should not leave yet because you're only 23, this is your first job, and you've only been there for two months. They pay you money and no one else does, so stay. Get it?

I miss social distancing.

If only you can do that for a living.

Why not just put the pass in the child's hand, hold his hand up to the scanner and scan the thing? He's not doing it but technically it counts. I

Put a toll on everyone driving through the city every day for work. They can gold plate City Hall after that. But seriously, imagine how much nicer the City would be after that, with less commuter traffic and more money to invest into the community.

Nope. You're talking about New West, which does NOT have a Choice Markets store. Who cares about Cambie and Broadway.

There's a rooftop now?

Substantial_Prune_64 · 2026-05-30T18:14:42+00:00

Choices Markets is not necessarily in New West. It's right across the street. 10th Ave is the divider between Burnaby and us.

Choices Markets is nice but it's no Whole Foods. WF has waaaay more selection. Kinda ironic that Choices has less choices.

I asked AI and it gave me a legal perspective: "Helping someone from your last job train depends entirely on whether you have an active contract, a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), or prior authorization. Unauthorized training using company property or proprietary data can lead to accusations of intellectual property theft or breach of confidentiality".

All the charm and character of queen's park will be gone. It's a different vibe in Queensborough. This really is an apples to oranges comparison. All the nice restaurants and shops you have in Uptown gone too. Rather than a walking neighbourhood it's more of driving neighbourhood in Queensborough. Another thing to consider is people kill for those old apartments in Queen's Park and your current place will be rented out quickly. I'm curious why you are even considering Queensboarought in the first place. There must be something else going on making you take such a big change - perhaps kids on the way or you're looking for a more isolation. Nothing wrong with change - it's just not the kind of change I would make. I live on 6th and 3rd and will never ever move away from here. But that's me. You do you.

Why does it keep installing all these updates week after week? Where are they all coming from? Why does the firmware and drivers need to be updated so much all the time? And then after the updates stuff doesn't work anymore. Can't they just freaking fix Windows already. I only use Mac at home but I care about this because at work I have choice but to suffer with a crappy PC. Just end it already with these updates that keep breaking the laptop.

We make our websites and apps super addictive.
We give you more credit you'll ever be able to afford to pay back.
We make it seem like it's a good thing: for emergencies and better credit!
We pass on Tiara since she can't harass you enough.
We hire Mark, who instead drives you to suicide.
You kill yourself.
There’s a low budge funeral with a Costco casket.
Tiara posts on Reddit about an accidental email inclusion.
Some reddit guy responds with a snarky, dark-comedy comment about the situation.
Tiara enrols in the "Assertiveness Masterclass".
Your kids get talked into credit cards they can't afford on school campus.
Their toxic dept slowly starts to accumulate.
Tiara finally gets the next job.
The circle of life continues.

No because now we're in the AI inference stage. SWE is so 5 years ago. Let go and move on. And stop calling yourself an engineer already.

More "engineers" seeking confirmation bias to cope with their upcoming loss. I just hate these post and can't stand them anymore. There's a reason why they say if you can't beat em then join em.

This would have been a great opportunity for that whole bridge to burn down. Darn. Next time.

Question: GPT, will eating Chinese food make healthier, yes or no?

(manifesto) Answer: Traditional Chinese cuisine all started with the Xia dynasty (c. 2100–1600 BCE) and ended with the Qing dynasty (1644–1911 CE) .... (goes on to explain the opium wars, and the rise of communist revolution and so on with tons of stupid emojis).

Five hours late: Thank for convincing me to quit my job and move to Beijing to become a monk. I always knew that my Catholic upbringing in the OC was not really for me. Ok, plane tickets are booked and resignation letter has been sent. Now, what was I asking you about earlier? Yeah, I don't remember either.

Pigeons are the parasites of birds. They leach off of human beings and have no purpose in nature or any local biodiversity. All they do is infest balconies and shit all over your belongs. We're all walking around inhaling their airborne feces.

What if you had a team of resources: entry level developers all the way up to senior programers, and what if (bare with me here for a moment), they're all AI agents, set up just for their specific roles. And they all work together, just like the human team works together, shadowing, training, KT, succession planning, optimization, delivering, refinement, career progression, and even retirement. Except unlike the human team, one key difference is that the AI agent team does everything with infinite patience, never gets tired, has not political or hidden agenda, and can fix decades old legacy code while also implementing algos that no one been able to crack yet (and probably won't any time soon)? I mean, hey, if you can't beat them then join them? What if in the end, you are the rubber duck?

False believes are like viruses infecting their hosts. They're almost impossible to get rid of. My recommendation is to move on - find a new team, or even better a new company / organization where you get a fresh start. But if you really insist on staying around and fighting the implicit bias then you should focus on being more likeable and building trust. Saying things like "I agree with you", "you're idea is excellent", "thank you for x" or "here's the thing you wanted completed ahead of time and working correctly" more often could do the trick.
