This is a good post. And Apple embracing these points would be nice!

Start by changing App Review from a Kafkaesque nightmare to a sane, functioning, supportive process in which Apple and developers work together to successfully release software. That means timely, two-way communication with recognizably human entities at Apple
Next, create a public bug tracker (with an option for developers to keep some information or entire bug reports private to ensure proprietary information is not exposed). Develop Apple’s own software “in the open” as much as possible. Publish average response times and fix times for bugs, and maintain those numbers at levels that satisfy developers
Though it might not be obvious to people who have never worked in the software industry, this is actually a leadership issue. Striking the correct balance between creating new features and ensuring that existing features work correctly (and gradually improve) requires leadership dedicated to this strategy.

Apple Turnaround.

I wish there would be a method to report an App when they use the notifications to spam me.

I have a strange issue with a MongoDB query today. It works fast in the compass app. But is slow when executed in my GraphQL datafetcher. And by slow I mean 0.5s vs > 80s. The query explain look the same for both. And adding a limit does not change the issue.

Britain did not do so well at the ESC yesterday, but I still liked that song the best. There where some other song which I liked: the French - loved the song and the visuals with the sand glass. And the Italian entry. Otherwise I was not so sure what was going on.

I’m looking forward to the English entry of the Eurovision Song Contest this evening. For once it’s a band I already know and like :-). It’s the only song I’ve heard so far.

A scenic landscape featuring a field of tall green grass under a clear blue sky. In the foreground, there are two trees, one smaller and supported by stakes, and the other larger with a wooden bench beside it. The bench is partially shaded by the larger tree, creating a tranquil, inviting spot to sit and enjoy the view. Fluffy white clouds are visible in the distance.

A place to rest. With a (very) small broadcast tower in the distance.

In a high-tech future, a rogue security robot secretly gains free will. To stay hidden, it reluctantly joins a new mission protecting scientists on a dangerous planet...even though it just wants to binge soap operas.

TMDB.

Loved the first episode
