Logged a bug in Xcode that was breaking our CI. This was never fixed.

It was frustratingly easy to reproduce. Clear the process is broken internally (as source article says) as well as externally. I guess when you sit on the highest volume pipe of money coming out of wallets for consumer tech, there is no reason to change?

This reminds me of the concept of "f* you" money that lets employees quit their jobs. It just dawned on me that some companies have that as well, w.r.t. their customers.

Yeah, I used to report those to Blackberry, but when they owned the entire mobile field, noone gave a shit that you can't you get 'your code' on their platform.

Oh yeah, I can remember when trying to deal with Blackberry over a decade ago, when they were still relevant.

Ultimately, we just gave up and didn't release our app on their platform at all.

When their BB10 platform rolled out, the first thing they did was to make the code deployment process simpler.
