>Oh no, his Apple T-shirt is so bad he's wearing a Zegna shirt! It's a Sunday, my dudes.

Apple makes and sells mice as part of their business, my dude. Any t-shirts they make is just a secondary thing for the merchandise store.

Making their software and hardware good enough for them to use and "eating their own dog food" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food ) is important.

Dogfooding has a big history in Sillicon Valley and kinds of software development culture way before blogging was a thing. Before the web was a thing too. It was a thing people explicitly referred to before it even had that name.

So there's that.
