I Can't See Apple's Vision

As a Linux user Apples' vision seems pretty clear - do whatever makes buckets of money. Anyone who questions their vision is simply opening up to the reality that just maybe, Apple doesn't actually care about them.

> The first time I thought "oh man, they've lost the thread" was Notifications. On iOS, Notifications make sense — you've got apps buried in folders three screens deep, so a unified system for surfacing what's happening is genuinely useful. On macOS, this design makes absolutely no sense at all. You can see your applications. They're right there. In the Dock. Which is also right there. I've been a Mac user since 2005. I don't know when notifications were added to macOS, but I did finally find a use for notifications with agentic IDEs. (I remember wondering why I have never ever received notifications for anything on macOS, and I somehow have them turned off by default.) It's pretty nice to give a prompt, then be able to do something else until my attention is needed again.

The first third is just him waxing poetical about how much of a dumb shit he is and how that means he isn't qualified to comment. Ok? So I stopped reading. I'm going into this article with an open mind. If you tell me you're stupid in a fit of ersatz humility I'm going to believe it.
