There are a lot of you that aren't developers and don't at all see how broken so much of iOS 26 is, behind the scenes. Any app that's managed to ship alongside it has navigated a minefield of problems just like these, and has probably ended up with a design that looks as close to vanilla as possible as a result. Anybody whose app does, or did, customize its UI — something that its users may value or expect — has probably had a very tough summer

I revived my old wow account on twitter and it upset me no end. So many folks just left completely. I had 18 years of conversations, friendships and camaraderie just disappear into the void.

Aging as a software person is awful. Nobody remembers anything from 2 years ago let alone 2 decades ago so you're constantly going "WHY DID THEY MAKE THAT AGAIN IT WAS AWFUL" with ever increasing frequency.

Yes, "liquid glass" is a terrible effect for the same reason that fully transparent phones are the least desirable kind of interface you could have. Paper makers have spent hundreds of years trying to make the thing you read on as opaque as possible because it turns out EYES NEED CONTRAST TO READ
