Does anyone have any advice finding these roles? Most of my main projects have included me building products up from the ground up with successful releases. I've been cramming technical interview questions because its seems like the only foot in the door, but this kind of position is where I know I'll thrive.
Where do I look for Production Engineering positions? How does a new grad w/ a CS background move into one of these roles with relevant experience?
If you want to work at a startup, the earlier they are they more likely that every engineer is a product engineer. The bigger companies get, the less generalists are relied upon.
Woah, awesome! It'll be interesting to see how Apple responds to this sort of instillation. I image with this publicity on HN we'll see other devs taking advantage of this instillation option to bring third party apps to users who are not jailbroken.
Is this really an issue? We're now living in a society saturated with smartphones, tablets and PCs. Kids today are born with iPhones and iPads. Older populations don't seem to be having problems using these devices, heck my 80 year old grandmother can use her iPhone, Mac, and iPad perfectly.
As our society adopts basic principles of computer interaction we can make them more advanced while keeping the same relative level of simplicity.
That's what I wonder as well. We've been inundated with mobile interaction for the last 7 sevens that maybe it's ok to start peeling off some of the layers.
If you started with the flat iOS UI from the beginning it would have been very difficult to get accustomed to. Nowadays, we don't rely on those skeuomorphic affordances because we assume touch interfaces are the defacto.
That said though, I do agree that we should think critically about seasoned vs beginner interfaces. We should strive to accommodate both without causing detriment to one group or another.
