The reality of Apple internal systems: Things are mostly stuck together with duct tape. There is no Temple of Purity.

It's a beautiful fantasy, though.

To be honest, I have yet to see a company where internal things are not mostly stuck together with duct tape.

Probably Google?

Doubtful. Even their customer products used different OS. It’s probably a controlled mess.

There is that meme about trying to get something into production at Google. And I thought nothing's worse than Facebook.

It shows.
