He starts by telling us how he was passed over for a promotion at Qualcomm in favor of someone younger and less experienced and how that inspired him to figure out what the other guy was doing differently. He learned that he needed to get more done with the time he was spending on his projects.

Panel:
Gui
Jaim
Erica
In today's episode, the iPhreaks discuss the firmware leak of the HomePod, and how this may tell us about what Apple is planning for the future.

iPS 213: Products Instead of Features with Greg Raiz
In this iPhreaks episode, Erica Sadun and Jaim Zuber talk to Greg Raiz about "products instead of features." [1:25] Greg Raiz Introduction
Greg runs RaizLabs which is a consultancy specializing in iPhone and mobile development. Ben Johnson from Raiz Labs has also been on the show. [2:03] Products vs Features
A lot of engineering firms get into lifecycle with their products where they're thinking about the next thing. This often gets broken down into sub-features. The focus then gets placed on that feature instead of what the feature is supposed to serve. Greg gives the example of trying to format a book and when you drag a picture to the left, it jumps to the right and vice versa. [4:00] Feature-itis
A lot of development teams are driven by sales teams. Sales teams often use feature matrices to differentiate their products instead of thinking about your product in a different way from your competitors. Apple and Steve Jobs were great at this and telling the story that differentiated…

[00:02:30] – Back-end development before Vapor
Bob is a former graphic designer. He went to a boot camp last year and made that career shift. The boot camp focused on Python and iOS but that was all front-end for apps.

[00:01:10] – Introduction to White Label Apps
This is an app that you built at one time but you skin different things for different customers. There are a lot of customers around that will build an app but they got different versions of the app that they distribute on behalf of their customers. Your controls have a lot of the same behavior in your app but the color is different, the icons are different, maybe there’s text difference.
[00:03:50] – Pre-built components
This kind of notion of pre-built components has been in the development arena, specifically, in Apple’s ecosystem for a very long time. When the app store first started, you could buy custom widgets, custom controls, and custom art.

Jeff is a Mac and iOS developer with more than a decade of experience as a software engineer. He recently released an app for Mac and iOS called Underpass. Tune in to learn about it!

It does not even rely on any third party. You also don't have to login to a server. The app allows you to communicate directly on any network. Inspiration Kicks Off
When Apple made the change from iTunes to the iCloud as the preferred way of setting up iOS devices, a lot of the functionality was removed. The iTunes features were removed and if you're like Jeff and don't rely on the cloud, this could be a bit frustrating.
Jeff wanted an easier way to bring data from his Mac to his iPhone. This was his moti…
