It's not about the sheer numer of people, it's about their quality as managers, engineers, art directors and designers. Hire the best, pay them accordingly. Things can thrive without austerity, given enough good resources.

We need a new "snow leopard" release. No new features. Cleaning up the mess. Ethically speaking, there's no excuses for Apple. They're sitting on a huge pile of resources. Don't have the team competent enough to handle stuff? Hire them. Yet I know that's not how capitalism works.
nope, monday is „after sunday”

Notice the faked tableau showing exactly the same scene supposedly photographed with all iPhone models. Weak ethics.

The biggest mess IMO is the media library. Unsustainable, chaotic, impossible to keep in order if you happen to publish more than just a few images.

It’s not a library. It’s a file dump. If you want to reuse an asset on a non-trivial site, it’s easier to reupload the file rather than to find it in a flat list of thousands of thumbnails.

Folders, please.

And the four hopeless fields to provide an image with textual metadata (alt, caption etc). It’s impossible to understand intuitively. So anti-human, lacking understanding of what users need and are capable of grasping.

Reveal the complexity gradually, please.

Same goes for the myriads of options (special love goes to the media link/image size selector with its thoughtless defaults you have to scroll down the media library modal to even reveal itself) just to insert an image into the text.

Just to name a few problems.

Corellation vs causation? Please tell me if this article doesn’t confuse these two.
