The Unhelpful Solidarity of Apple Developer Forums

Description

A screenshot of a tweet from user Amr (@AmrHossam96) that humorously depicts a conversation on Apple's developer forums. The text, set against a black background, reads: "Apple developer forums be like: - I have an issue = oh yeah ? - yes = me too. - .... = ....". This meme format critiques the common and frustrating experience on developer forums where problems are acknowledged by others but not solved, creating a sense of shared misery rather than providing solutions. It specifically targets the perceived lack of effective support and community-driven answers within the Apple developer ecosystem, a well-known pain point for many iOS and macOS developers

    The Apple developer forum is Stack Overflow in hard mode: no accepted answers, and everyone has the same unresolved issue from 2014

    Apple Dev Forums: a massive append-only log of duplicate Radars - great case study in eventual consistency, terrible way to unblock the sprint

    After 15 years in the industry, I've learned that Apple Developer Forums are just Stack Overflow's evil twin - same questions, same problems, but instead of 'marked as duplicate,' you get an endless chain of 'me too' followed by radio silence until someone discovers the fix was to increment the build number and sacrifice a USB-C dongle under a full moon

    Apple Developer Forums: where your critical production bug gets the same response as a philosophical question about existence - 'me too' followed by the sound of crickets. It's like Stack Overflow's abandoned cousin who moved to Cupertino, took a vow of silence, and now just nods sympathetically at your SwiftUI layout constraints breaking in ways that violate the laws of physics

    Apple Developer Forums are a CRDT that only supports the Ack operation - 'same here' commutes perfectly, but the resolve() handler was never implemented

    Apple dev forums run Raft: instant consensus on “me too,” a replicated log of rdar://duplicates, and nothing actually commits until WWDC

    Apple dev forums: Where 'me too' achieves consensus faster than CAP theorem in distributed systems

    Literally any technical forums with weak rules

    1. @realVitShadyTV 2y

      Stackoverflow: - I have problem - Here is -200 reputation for you, there already was similar question ten years ago

      1. @trainzman 2y

        Classic joke

      2. @azizhakberdiev 2y

        Also stackoverflow: User: I have a question Others: Good question (600 upvotes, still no answer) User, 4 months later: Nvm, I found a solution (does not describe solution, closes question)

    Go Android

    Microsoft support forum be like: User: I have an issue Support: Hello, please update your operating system and antivirus User: That does not solve the issue. I run Linux and this issue is in your online services, anyway. S: Hello again, please contact your system administrator U: I run my own system, and you didn't even read my previous messages. S: Please visit the Microsoft 365 Edge Office Defender Outlook Dashboard and change this setting. (Support rep marks the thread as solved) U: I am not subscribed to those services, and the issue is in an unrelated component User2: I have the same issue and I can confirm Support rep is not even reading what User is saying S: Hello User2, if you have a different issue, please open another ticket One year later: User3: This issue can be easily solved by going to X, clicking Y and then finally cycling Feature off and on again at Z to force a refresh.

  15. Deleted Account 2y

    The "me too" comment could perfectly be a third user in that same conversation lol

  16. @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 2y

    This is actually extremely true. Exactly described the phenomenon I had when switching from windows to iOS💀

    1. @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 2y

      There is literally nothing you can do

      1. @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 2y

        The best answer I ever got was "we will redirect your issue to possibly be implemented in the next iOS update" which literally meant at the time I need to buy a new iphone even to get that issue solved because the phone was on its last feature update
