This resonates especially hard for me because I first joined Apple in 2013. Those first 14 months I worked harder than I ever had in my life. To prove myself, sure, but also because I was surrounded by so many brilliant, passionate people. Back when we all wrote code by hand, it was a point of pride to do it well, to craft something that behaved well, that respected the user’s intellect and their aims. Years later, Gary interviewed me when I was a candidate to join the Human Interface team. One of the things he impressed on me, since I was applying to build internal design tools, was the importance of not narrowing the set of possibilities too early in the process, of not “working thin.” A good, correct, fitting design only emerges when you allow yourself to rattle around in possibility space for a while, maybe longer than seems reasonable. I didn’t stick around long enough to see the apotheosis of the vision we had for some of those projects, but I’ll always carry that consideration with me. And I think now—especially right now—when the bots write most of the code, there’s still an awful lot that humans can and should have a say in what the future of software looks like. I will forever esteem my colleagues at Apple for keeping the Human at the forefront of human-computer interaction.
