The 7 principles of the Japan French Fries Association: 1. Love french fries and eat them at least once a week 2. Eat all the french fries you are served. 3. Do not pressure others to like french fries as you do. 4. Do not persecute those who dislike french fries.

@adamcole I love the Stanford iOS course: cs193p.sites.stanford.edu It’s free online, and updated as Apple’s APIs evolve. I’d also recommend building a personal app for learning that’s you’re happy to show off in interviews.

My heart goes out to all the folks suddenly without a job, especially with so many layoffs happening across companies right now. If you’ve got iOS or macOS development experience, the Messages team at Apple is hiring at Apple Park! My DM’s are open.

@Getfreetext1 I don’t speak for the company as a whole, but I do not believe that characterization was accurate. My team is hiring.

@TechSupportMan2 We do have an intern position open for next year. Feel free to pass along their info if you think they’d be interested!

@slottermoser Full time only or interns as well? Know someone who had an offer rescinded

There are plenty of ways to stand out as a junior engineer without taking a back seat. A few that worked for me: 1. When you’re faced with an unfamiliar problem, break it down into smaller problems. You might even recognize pieces that you already know how to solve.

While the vast majority of users will never be the victims of highly targeted cyberattacks, Apple will work tirelessly to protect the small number of users who are. I’m deeply proud of our next steps, including a groundbreaking feature: Lockdown Mode. apple.com/newsroom/2022/…

@kocienda It had virtual memory, it just didn’t swap. Without virtual memory, processes will stomp on each others memory all trying to write to the same location.

The original iPhone had no virtual memory. Some folks came up with a system named “jetsam”. Since we only showed one app at a time, we terminated background programs when memory got low. Those programs would relaunch rather than resume when brought back to the front.

so happy seeing everyone so excited about wwdc and the things we’ve been working on 🥺🥺🥺

Found an awesome engineering manager to come join my team. You should reach out Pinar if you’re interested in working on Messages. She’s awesome!

Curiosity is always rewarded.

@_lanceparker @ElanaStettin You’re both worth more than your Wordle scores 💙

@ElanaStettin ✋

Does anyone else’s wordle score determine the trajectory of their day?

@wklj Seriously considered keeping it at home and using it as my home defense plan 😅

Always thought I’d stick around until I got that crystal 10 year award. Got this heavy metal block instead. It’s pretty cool but my leave condition wasn’t met so I guess I’ll keep going!

@rands Forget You Said Anything. Got it.

Acronyms aren’t efficient communication. They usually obscure information and are often an attempt at inflating social status. FYSA.

I managed multiple engineering teams before quitting big tech. Now that I quit, I can speak freely. Here are 12 things your manager may not be telling you, but I know for a fact will help you. 👇

And if you’re a software engineer who wants to work on Messages, please reach out! jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/…

I am also looking for someone to manage the Messages Platform team! Come write the next chapter of iMessage apps, stickers, Shared with You, Memoji, Apple Cash, #images, and more! jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/…

I’m looking for an engineering leader to come own the core user experience in Messages, including the transcript. Think Tapbacks, Lasers, Replies, and more! jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/…
