Super interesting. May I email you with some focused questions?

You seriously manage 50 human PMs? That sounds really interesting, I can't even imagine what kind of role that would be, other than someone running multiple companies simultaneously. Could you share what you do?

I apologize. My comment was indeed shallow (ironically so).

> For most UIs, it isn't

Why? Genuinely asking, this topic is very interesting to me.

Interesting, will check that out!

My working thesis is that UIs are basically video games. Just a gut feeling I can't really 100% put in words.

But essentially they're the same thing: Read input, update model, render view.

Thanks for those links! Some of it was great reading.

What is your thesis then? What is UI?

Native iOS is significantly worse than SwiftKey and doesn't support multiple languages without having to switch the keyboard constantly. In SwiftKey you can mix languages.

I'd also be very interested in SwiftKey alternatives, since MS already almost killed it once.

I think that's a false dichotomy. The examples the author gives would not be slower in any way if done correctly.

This attitude of "individual cases don't matter as long as the average case is somewhat covered" is exactly why the world's going to shit.

The parent post's worry is warranted, IMO.

What a reductive world view that is.

Super cool, thanks for explaining! Is the code available somewhere?

What an amazing article. I really like the presentation of text scrolling together with the code. Wonder how this is done under the hood.
