I never understand this kind of comments. Is there a reason why OP should have bad intentions when writing the comment? The article is about Apple not providing sufficient documentation for their APIs and OP wrote about a experience that supports reasoning why Apple seemingly is not focusing on delivering documentation.

So how about giving reasonable arguments why OP probably had rounds that went poorly and is salty about it and why Apple has a wonderful software developer culture that focuses on quality instead of assumptions? Apple has problems with documentation since years, one example I had to deal with recently: their maps API. The MapKit programming guide is still in Objective-C, old design and outdated.

FWIW, I don't see how "I tried to add documentation in my interview and my interviewer didn't like it" translates to "everyone at Apple hates documentation".

Objective-C guides are not inherently old and outdated.

You're absolutely right and this could have been an argument made by trangon, instead of an assumption about bad intentions by the OP. The interview story is just an anecdote in the end.

I agree in parts, they're not outdated in terms of facts present (although I wonder if MapKit didn't have any changes since October 2016). What I meant is outdated in a sense that Apple is pushing Swift but doesn't provide a programming guide in that language for this particular topic. Still supports my point of Apple having problems with documenting their APIs. SwiftUI is another example.
