edw, you raise a good point. Keep in mind that Apple has hundreds of development teams. Each one is different. I don't think I disclosed any secrets and I was very careful to not say anything that might embarrass Apple.
I think Guy Kawasaki's first book, The Macintosh Way, goes much further than my comments here – and he was even rehired back at Apple several years after his book was published.
My hope is two fold. 1. That someone reading this would pick up some good practices; and 2. That someone reading this would say, "I want to be a part of that!"
Apple's a great company to work at on so many different levels.
