The gotcha is “I gave it permission, then revoked permission in the UI, but it still has permission.”

Dyslexia isn’t curable. It doesn’t magically go away with help, techniques, or accommodations —- it just becomes more manageable.

He/she probably wouldn’t have gotten into an elite university without that help through childhood.

From what I've read, SwiftUI is using parts of UIKit under the hood, so it also doesn't seem too likely.

> Because they finally understood who was actually using our product.

Yes!!!

> The biggest problem with most engineers is actually over-engineering.

Err, wait, go back to step 1. Over-engineering is sometimes a byproduct of not understanding the customer use cases. That lack of understanding is the biggest problem.

So, I’m an “engineer” —- my most common frustration with other engineers is their lack of interest in understanding of the actual product being sold. In my experience, sometimes the reason is job-fit issues, sometimes it’s ego, but usually it’s a combination of culture and incentive.

I share an outrage for mass production of plastic, but not at all for Lego.

Lego is a fantastic use of plastic, IMO. Durable, reusable, broad appeal, and designed to be kept, not churned out into the landfill or ocean.
