I love Macs but wasn't involved in Mac development at all – I was working on enterprise web applications. I started rediscovering my love for building actual software, instead of dealing with programmers and customers, in the past few months. In the past 10 to 15 years or so I moved to managerial positions and planning so I didn't have the chance to do actual coding. I've been programming since I was a kid as a hobby and also as a profession. I'm István Tóth, 43, and I live in Budapest, Hungary. But of course if Apple wants to recruit me as a developer, I might not resist too much. It might be a question of focus or managerial decisions. So I think Apple is more than capable of fixing things without my help. Some would read all of the above and think, "wait a minute, this lone guy from Hungary has done a better job than Apple at supporting third-party displays, they should hire him!" Would you agree?īetterDummy for the most part uses macOS APIs provided by Apple, written using a developer tool made by Apple – Xcode – in a programming language created by Apple – Swift. For now this is not the case, which causes headaches. Ideally the lines between Thunderbolt, USB, and DisplayPort, alt-modes etc will blur eventually and customers won't have to think about what their ports and cables support – it should just work. For computer displays, USB-C can technically carry both DisplayPort and HDMI, although HDMI alt-mode seems to be mostly dead most USB-C HDMI dongles or cables use DisplayPort alt-mode internally. HDMI has some advantages in the consumer AV space over DisplayPort right now and I don't think it will go away anytime soon. Speaking of hardware, with USB-C becoming ubiquitous, and considering DisplayPort is a more robust protocol than the older HDMI, do you have a preference? Do you think HDMI should go away, or are you indifferent? Originally, I thought the app will appeal to lowly QHD display users only. So I am really amazed in a good way when a new MacBook Pro user equipped with dual Apple Pro XDR displays comes thanking me for a project that makes his $15K setup work well. I am using an older 2017 LG 4K display and an entry-level M1 MacBook Air with 8GB RAM for development.
