The Apple indie dev community is undergoing an identity crisis. For decades, whatever Apple said was good, was good. People mostly agreed with their ethics, design priorities, way of doing business.
Now that all of that has, well, severely degraded, it leaves us in the dark. The north star is gone.
@Cykelero Yeah. It's kinda sad. It was nice to have a north star. Nice to have powerful people to admire and look up to.
But really, none of them were great people anyway. We made a lot of excuses for how Steve Jobs treated people. Tim Cook enabled that. Now we see him enabling a different narcissist. One more dangerous, that hurts more people. But it's still the same behavior.
Accepting and enabling that behavior has been a huge mistake and we're seeing the fallout from that
