Apple's advantage has always been writing software to work on limited hardware that they control. They don't have unique problems with massive scale.

And also a relatively small product line, which should make quality control easier. Although the product line has grown a bit lately.

I find it interesting to note how the quality of some Apple and Google software products is declining lately. Google Hangouts is a total buggy mess. And Gmail is worse than it was some years ago. It seems that big organizations inevitably get more disordered as they grow and age.

I wonder if this can be avoided or mitigated.

Hasn’t Apple lost many of their top engineers recently? That could definitely contribute.

My feeling is that since Steve went, the engineers have nobody to be absolutely shit-scared of and the quality of software has gone down ever since.

I’m not saying unique to Apple. I’m saying unique to companies operating at massive scale.
