It's Squirrelburger time at Platformocracy! In which I retell one of the greatest ethical parables of agile software, originally by Ken Schwaber, co-creator of Scrum. I hope it inspires you to refuse or redesign a bad project. You have the power to make the Internet a slightly less horrible place.

Interesting question for me with iPhone Duo which I didn’t review but looked at for a little while today: iPhone has an app interface flow iPad has an app interface flow Will Duo nail the middle with enough optimized apps? Will being between make it a strange middle ground? Will enough apps update?

Apps not automatically adopting an “iPad mode” makes sense in a way but also means apps won’t always make the most of things at first? I dunno. Again just spent an hour w it

Looked at iPhone Duo for a hot minute and I appreciate the feel and the fluid transformations. What would be the form I’d use it in, and what would I find missing? Not sure. Makes me think of XR even if it’s just physical screens
