Mario GuzmánCupertino, who literally made the Mac HIG, forgot how to HIG… This is * NOT * how you make Mac app Settings windows.
How do you forget how to design Mac apps? You * literally * invented them.

firing the people with the institutional knowledge then hiring n00bs to lower costs, then firing them to outsource that labor for even cheaper then cutting those contracts because !AI.
John de Largentaye@blogdiva @marioguzman Apple hasn’t had mass layoffs like the other FAANGs, and AFAIK hasn’t outsourced heavily for this kind of thing.
But certainly there has been generational turnover, and knowledge has been diluted.
This UI is a disgrace, in an age of UI disgraces.

And there developer tools look great!
And they mostly work....mostly

@jlargentaye @blogdiva @marioguzman this is a problem I see right across tech – every year we pump out a new batch of CompSci grads (or just folks who hit the tech job market) who have ben taught only what will fit in the very short time allotted, prioritising what will land them a job
there’s barely time to get them up to speed on whatever the current framework or language hotness is, and certainly no time for “non-essentials” like ⚹checks notes⚹ good #UI design or #UX patterns (much less silly little things like “ethics” or “social impact of tech” 😕)
we certainly don’t seem to be teaching them the history of their craft – what’s been tried & proven helpful, what’s been tried & proven unhelpful (or harmful) & has been discarded. I see so many people reinventing crap software (incl. OSes) & website UI & UX that, frankly, we’d already figured out 20 (or 30!) years ago were a Bad Idea™ & found better solutions for
sure, sometimes the reason we didn’t implement something at the time was that the tech to support it wasn’t quite there yet (CPU, RAM, GPU, connectivity, storage, hardware miniaturisation, whatever) & those ideas should be revisited – but without time to transfer that generational knowledge to the next batch of technologists, new folks keep reinventing shit that should have been permanently relegated to the scrap-heap of software (& hardware) history
its the “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” of tech 💁♀️
