  • macOS Sequoia beta review: yet again small but welcome changes

    Nothing to mention regarding under-the-hood, performance, bugs, etc. updates?
    With minimal "improvements" to this release versus Sonoma, maybe time well spent against the aforementioned would have been appropriate.

  • All of your presentations will get better in macOS Sequoia

    I thought I had read that macOS Sequoia was to be less about the addition of new "features" and focused more so on the stability, bugs, and performance of the OS? So far, the only articles I have seen on AI regarding macOS Sequoia are those discussing "new features". Did Apple take a different track?
    I know every major OS update will include "new features", just hoping maybe to see some articles (if warranted at all) discussing under-the-hood work.

    ...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.
