[The Exiled]

macOS 10.15 Vista

Apple is becoming (already is?) a services company. And, let’s face it. Apple has never been good at anything involving the internet. I feel like they could have all the money and engineers in the world (which they basically already do) and still never completely get their services right because it’s just not in their DNA. Applications are. Hardware is. But put a network layer in there and they crap themselves. (Ok, not in every case. I’m obviously exaggerating to make a point. But the overall track record is iffy at best.)
We (developers) were making it loud and clear that this stuff was very, very broken. And, somehow, someone at Apple made the call that it was OK to release a Public beta onto the world.

A buggy, broken OS is one thing. Users installing it should know to beware. But a buggy, broken OS that also puts their data in jeopardy both on that machine and all their others linked by an Apple ID is unconscionable.
It is absolutely clear that the Mac is far outside of what the upper-ranks of Apple is focusing on.

I’m not trying to throw Engineering under the bus. I’m friends with many wonderful, talented, hard-working, and caring Apple developers who want the Mac to fucking thrive.
What I am doing is explicitly shitting on management and blaming the executive team for allowing all of the above to ship.
