      Can I just rant for a minute about how much I loathe this behavior re: app updates?pic.twitter.com/cchhH1bDEt

      And I don’t just mean the vague weaksauce update notes (though those are also insulting). I mean the fact that these apps have totally foregone any coherent user-facing narrative. And their product teams have let them do it!

      Like, I know it’s Hard Work to remain focused on the ongoing use cases of your products and the ways in which they deliver value and delight, especially for a large multi-platform app, but if you can’t manage to care then why should your users?

      If all you have to say is “just trust us to be making this thing better for you, but we won’t tell you how and we’re asking you to update every 2 weeks” I’m basically hearing “we have no real idea what we should be building and we’re hoping you don’t notice”

      I can’t speak for all apps, but here’s an explanation for why we ship a new version of @square every 2 weeks. tl;dr it’s a core part of our whole engineering methodology. https://www.objc.io/issues/22-scale/square/ …

      I get the appeal from a project management perspective but it still puts a burden on end users to update constantly and with total lack of transparency about what they are getting into. I love Git but I don’t make them read my commit messages.

      In short I believe there are ways to use these development tools without imposing the process onto your customers or allowing it to reduce your product narrative into nothingness.

      With automatic app updates and server-side feature flags, nobody should have to care about app versions. Apple just hasn’t gotten around yet to removing the relics of the update process.pic.twitter.com/rnWmH6xEPk
