slices of apple



This week's episode is the first of the second "chapter" in Slices of Apple. Previous episodes laid the groundwork for what comes next: The second Steve Jobs era at Apple. Specifically:

  • Episode one provided context for the innovative atmosphere and the deep appreciation of design and engineering in Silicon Valley.

  • Episode two took a look at the dark years of Apple, and the return of Jobs through the acquisition of NeXT assets at Apple.

  • Episode three was about the front line workers for Apple, be they retail or consultants.

  • Episode four featured Pheebo, and lessons learned at the Grove Apple Store in Los Angeles.

  • Episodes five and six took us back to the 1990's, before Jobs returned, as we spoke to executives at Backblaze who worked at Apple during that time.


In "Real Artists Ship" we'll talk to Jonathan Deutsch, co-founder of Tumult, a really cool HTML5 authoring environment. Jonathan discusses some key ingredients of Apple's success, including how to find great people and Apple's repository of bugs and fixes, Radar. He answers questions on building great teams, work/life balance and managing priorities.
