> It is no secret that Apple operates with hundreds of siloed teams in order to maintain individual domain expertise. The teams then come together in a collaborative manner to bring together the final products.

Having worked there this is a perfect description of the organization from my experience.

100% agree



Risk of embarrassment is too great to be vibe coding, apple's brand is TRUST and people don't trust AI... A slip like this erodes their brand


Not really, almost all active software developers use AI nowadays.

  The research surveyed 121.000 developers across 450+ companies. A striking 92.6% of them use an AI coding assistant at least once a month, and roughly 75% use one weekly
It's weird to believe that large corporations should be ashamed to use AI.

It's a standard engineering practice, otherwise it's like if you refuse autocomplete because autocomplete is not right 100% of the time.


Please don't misunderstand, I agree with you. Myself, I use AI daily.

My point is:

Apple's customers aren't ready for that.

They don't understand the nuance.

And they don't think they should pay for a computer to do the work instead of a human, because "computers work for free".


Divert to the mean, race to the bottom. Produce garbage and try to scam people. It is standard engineering practice


Especially considering that Apple added it as a headline feature to the latest Xcode releases…
