Michael Tsai WWDC 2025 Preview
Michael Tsai, on mjtsai.com:
The first 12 or so years that I was writing Mac OS X apps, it was always exciting to anticipate what new features or frameworks would be announced and how I could leverage them to improve my apps. The last 12 or so years, Apple has given speeches about how much they love developers and then gone on to make changes that felt like they were meant to kill my apps, make them harder to use and harder for customers to discover, and drown us all in rising sea of bugs.
As always, Michael Tsai roundup is the best there is. But his closing thoughts really sting as an Apple fan. As my grandma used to say: quien se pica, es porque ají come, which closest translation might be: If the shoe fits, wear it..
The fact is, Apple has transformed from a developer enabler to a policing bureaucrat. No more are we excited about what software can do because Apple, we’re now surprised of software that’s able to exist despite Apple.
