@april she is cool, no doubt. And we should be thankful for her work.

But it’s weird for me how in the western culture, we like to use the word "invention" to refer to the work in a team. Like recently, people talk about a guy who "invented" dynamic island. Hard no! It doesn’t work like that in companies.

It is always teamwork. It always contribution and collective effort, never personal invention.

@constantine I mean, in a small company back in the day this was literally a singular person’s work.

@april I understand. And even in a team of 20 people, there is an art direction, collaboration, and work of others, which everyone uses as a foundation for their work. Again, no doubt she made a significant contribution not just to the company back then but also to our industry overall. Mad respect

@constantine suuuuuure but there’s a huge difference between the dynamic island with its huge team and someone doing 99% of the work with a bit of feedback from their teammates.

she basically made all of these things that needed to be made and they were like yup looks great let’s ship it.

Hey, Steve Jobs "invented" a staircase. He even got a patent for it despite the massive prevalence of prior art.
