Manifestos

Manifestos

2020-04-21

In 20 years at Apple, I obviously saw a lot and was sometimes motivated to write long, laborious manifestos about things. Usually they were practices and processes I felt needed to change.

These were initially published on my internal blog at Apple. So if you love manifestos and have a lot of time on your hands, here they are.

  • Ideas for better quality software
  • My hierarchy of testing
  • How to use dogfood testing
  • Thoughts on scalability
  • Common software usability issues
  • Mailing list etiquette

Enjoy.
