Fantastic thread on the ridiculous product execution demonstrated by Apple over the last two decades. Organisationally speaking, many things have to go just right for something like this to happen. My mind boggles at the org design that was necessary for this to happen.

Amidst all the details, installing pre-release, and commentary (including my own) I want to take a moment to reflect on #WWDC putting it in context of the past two decades. Quite simply, what we're seeing is some of the most remarkable product engineering over time in history. 1/

Wikipedia list of apple OS releases from 1984. Almost exactly one per year starting with OS 10 in 2000.

I would,for instance, be incredibly interested in a book or paper talking about how this is done. twitter.com/stevesi/status Probably Jobs’s reorg to have horizontal departments (software is responsible for software in ALL products) is what made this possible in the first place.

15/ It is incredibly clear that everyone at Apple puts strategy requirements above anything "local". When you wonder why there isn't more new in Notes or why Mail is missing stuff it's because supporting a multi-year strategy trumps individual teams and that's a good thing.
