Hey, that rhymes

The difference is probably that you are not that good at programming, and that the LLMs are better than you.

LLMs are more like having someone else microwave something for you, rather than having someone else (who knows what they are doing) cook for you.

In a technical sense. Do the remaining NeXT employees still at Apple have the technical skills to create Mac OS X and Cocoa?

He left after the Apple acquisition in 1999, then came back around 2009. During the time he was gone was when Apple did their best work (Snow Leopard and iPhone).

The Objective C at StepStone was completely different than the one at NeXT. It was very primitive. Steve Naroff did pretty much all of the heavy lifting, and turned Objective C int…

Forcing Swift instead of Objective C caused the good programmers to leave, and attracted the mediocre developers

Since macOS and iOS would not exist without Objective-C, the answer is No, it was not a failure.
