If you're an Apple employee reading this, why not create a 'Developer Advocacy' ESG that works by/with/through the community on your own, in a helpful way, to let people like this, with lengthy and earnest stories, a way to backchannel and/or bypass the bureaucracy?

It's incredible how much goodwill AAPL has been burning the past few years under Cook. The brand has been stained by repeated, user-hostile blunders, Apple's attitude towards noncompliance with democratically-established law and governments, and its protective, openly hostile attitude towards the people that make its ecosystem so great (developers, artists, etc).

Maybe it's time someone inside Apple started flying Susan Kare's jolly roger again.
