...If contributing to the product’s probability of success required 12+ hour days for 7 days a week for many weeks, that’s what you did. Having a CEO who believes in doing whatever it takes today to reach the goals, including time and quality goals, is a major influence on a company’s culture, especially when the CEO and corporate leaders are right there too putting in the work in a hands-on capacity that’s appropriate to their roles. But they need to understand and appreciate the value of the technology and product, how it’s made, and what it delivers to customers...

I had the opportunity to observe first hand from my parent's home the literal start-up of Federal Express (FedEx). My Dad was employee #30, started working while FedEx was still in Little Rock, Arkansas before moving to Memphis. He came from being a corporate pilot with Warner Brothers, happened to have the most flight time in the Dassault Fan Jet Falcon 20 that was the original aircraft used by FedEx.
Many stories, the books and movies that could be made...I still have many boxes of my Dad's efforts that contributed to the start-up and the take-off of FedEx.

As @dewme mentioned "If contributing to the product’s probability of success required 12+ hour days for 7 days a week for many weeks, that’s what you did."

In the case of FedEx, it was years of the efforts he mentions.

When my Dad retired, he was flying the DC-10 on the international routes. Chief Pilot/VP of Flight Operations, and held the Pilot Seniority position of #1.

What's up with the Mac Studio?

Hope Apple remain "confrontational" to put this in the EU courts.

Maybe Apple starts a campaign in the EU like tiktok is now raging in the USA to contact the tiktok user's local representative to push back on banning tiktok...
Is there really a large aggreived Apple user base in the EU?

The 17.4 update is now available.

I have a couple of the original HomePods and still have not seen any 17.4 updates yet.
