Why My Apple Engineering Mindset Is Holding Me Back... After a decade at Apple obsessing over 0.001% details that affected millions of users, I'm stuck in this perfectionist mindset that's killing my startup flow. I've been using my morning sauna time to meditate on this - letting go of... show more

Bro, apple has over engineered everything they have. There is nothing meaningful coming out of that company until you get another visionary at the helm. Not trashing the engineers, but you’re not doing anything new and the world is flood with I-stuff that no one even cares about anymore. Why don’t I have apple glasses? Why isn’t Apple software embedded in everything? Apple passed up so many choices because they were afraid to let go of the control. And they’re still scalping 30% on the App Store off every dollar even from the little guys. If I were you, I’d stop caring about the big companies, once you lost Steve it’s been over, riding his coat tails for 15 years. And Tim has no idea how to run Apple. With all the i-gadgets on the planet you could have had billions of tiny blockchain PCs working together to build a real supply chain system, instead, we got a knock off chatGPT and a retarded SIRI. Seriously, don’t beat yourself over having to unlearn anything. Apple is just as bad as all of the other F500 companies.

kinda respect how youre self-aware enough to notice that. i get tangled up in little details too and it seriously slows me down sometimes.

Man, this hits hard. When I was transitioning from bootstrapping PAMAGRAM to OctaZone, the shift from perfectionism to just getting things out there was brutal. At PAMAGRAM, we were obsessing over every pixel cuz it felt like it mattered so much, but once OctaZone rolled in, we had to embrace the chaos fast... And honestly, it took failing hard with it to really wake up to the messy startup flow. Good luck to u and your brother, that May 1st challenge sounds like a vibe!

respect for your honesty, man. especially the honesty toward yourself were all gonna make it

how is apple engineering obsession over small details when the search doesn’t work for exact string matches??

Perfection is the enemy of progress.

Very interesting insights. Being a fan of Steve Jobs, I struggled to let out of my mind his way of thinking when doing startups…

I think I can focus this energy towards a sprint where I let my mind wander down this path for a specific period of time.

Good on you for recognizing what is hold you back. I like the introspection idea. Kudos man!
