apple literally wrote one of the best books on interface design (the HIG) and they clearly don’t even look at it any more
it was full of original research, done by apple, which they clearly don’t do any more

angrily adding this to the end of my thread on knowledge and skill and cultural loss and de-skilling in design and programming
APPLE MOVED THEIR TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION TEAM TO AN OFFICE WITH NO SHELVES AND GAVE AWAY ALL THEIR BOOKS ?????????
A few years ago they moved their technical documentation team to the spaceship, to an office that had NO bookshelves. They posted on Slack that their entire library was basically up for grabs.
I got an autographed copy of Ted Nelson’s Possiplex out of it, among other treasures.

I make a lot of posts that seem broad but in my head are within a very small context window. I by no means meant this as general description of design prototypes. It was a response to hearing experienced engineers say "not good for prod, but good for quick prototyping"
