“Care for each other.
Be curious, inquisitive, and open.
Be unreasonable.
Understand the nature of ideas.
Listen. Suspend disbelief and criticism.
Respect expertise and its boundaries.
Offer ideas, not opinions.
Think about how we meet.
Make things for each other.”

My family and I have experienced a lot of loss over the past couple of years.
A friend of mine gave me this book of photographic history over the past 100 years.
This image captures extreme pain, loss and survivorship in a way I don’t think many of us can comprehend. Why does our species retaliate against itself time and time again?

Quick culture check in interviews:
Ask for a real example of a disagreement.
Healthy teams talk directly and resolve it.
🚩 If the story ends with “we pulled in leadership to make the call.”
That often signals low trust, conflict avoidance, fear of being blamed, or a culture where “optics” matter more than solving the problem.
If escalation is the default move, people don’t talk to each other—they talk around each other.

This is really about psychological safety.
In safe teams, people assume good intent, speak directly, and solve problems without needing protection from hierarchy.
In unsafe teams, escalation becomes a defense mechanism:
“I need a witness.”
“I need cover.”
“I don’t want retaliation.”
Directness is a feature of trust.
Escalation-first is often a symptom of fear.

I did a short WWDC presentation where I share some of the thinking behind the design of the Dynamic Island, as well as a bunch of examples and pointers on how to design for it.
Check it out in the second half of this talk: developer.apple.com/videos/p…

“It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If you take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale.”
Thanks Avatar for subtly giving some real talk to my kids.

The unfinished work of racial justice and equality call us all to account. Things must change, and Apple's committed to being a force for that change. Today, I'm proud to announce Apple’s Racial Equity and Justice Initiative, with a $100 million commitment.
