I remain convinced App Store Connect is the project they put interns on. It also explains why they keep redesigning / reimplementing it, then losing interest and leaving it part-finished and incoherent. It’s because the interns working on it go back to school.
I’ve been staring at Apple source code (the stuff they let The Great Unwashed see), for almost forty years.
It’s always been very polished, well-structured, well-documented, succinct, and beautifully written.
It’s been an inspiration for my own work. I have always striven to emulate them.
That’s why it’s so shocking for me to encounter the terrible quality of the Connect backend. It’s quite painful, and disappointing.
