  Yeah, I haven’t done it in like 8 months so I think I was conflating Code Push with App Store updates. I do think that apps get treated differently based on the priority of the company and there is some judgement used in the scope of changes. Like I wouldn’t be surprised if Grok is never subject to the random review delays just cuz no one wants to deal with Elon throwing a tantrum

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨leading ai company⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah. It’s most likely not that direct. If the boss makes it clear that they measure productivity by blindly adhering to some dumb metric (number of updates , kloc, number of bugfixes) then the devs will find a way to max out that stat, to get bonuses, promos, etc.

  As much as the author has shown his ass, this is the classic comic that comes to mind reddit.com/…/bug_free_programs_a_dilbert_classic/

  Because their boss is an idiot who will yell at them if they don’t.

  If you pay by the update, devs will update their way to a nice payday .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨leading ai company⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Minor updates for bugfixes don’t require a real store review.

  We’re pretty dumb and ignorant. Our education system is awful and incredibly inequitable (funded by local property tax so only nice areas have adequately funded schools). I recently read that like half the country reads below a 6th grade level. And we have an overwhelming level of right wing disinformation coming from “news” outlets like FOX, OAN, etc.

  Even with all that, about 1/3 of the country loves Trump like he’s a god, 1/3 hates him like he’s the devil and 1/3 is completely tuned out of politics. Shit is about to get real bad here and no one will be able to ignore the economic disaster so I think those numbers will change in the next few months.

  Tiktok is considered a National Security threat that must be banned because it will give our data to China. Let’s see if Zucc faces absolutely any consequences. I won’t hold my breath

  Insta is ubiquitous and it’s run by the same amoral assholes. 😞

  I do not know enough to identify these, but I’m wondering if they bruise blue.

  This needs a NSFL tag.

  And RIP to the camera person’s eyes. Surely they were blinded by the glare.
