I was asked today if I ever get on the phone to go after desirable clients. There was a time in my life, pre-Apple, when going after my dreams did involve getting on the phone. But now, after having proven to myself that I could please the world's most difficult client, my work has more to do with helping startups get their act together and pointing designers in the right direction. The startups and designers who are teachable usually have no trouble finding me, but having the right timing could not be more important.

Designers on strike.

I was responsible for defining the 2step standards specification for how every appliance patent after 2003 would be filed and standardized.

We used to fire people for things like this but now everybody has to be a member of the same happy-go-lucky political party that gets nothing done.

When we use the royal term ‘We’, we are using @QueensEnglish to invent new @classdefinitions. 

Our @code is required to protect the @heirs of @dukes, @duchesses and @Queens in @everycountry.

(By proxy and authority of the @royalacademy of Design and Engineering  @RAEngNews)

Should we design for @countries who treat @realdesigners like second-class citizens or let them 'devolve' into third-world countries?

Dieter Rams 10 principles of good design are more like immutable laws on the Apple design team.

We’re hated for enforcing them in the same way Louisiana is hated for wanting the 10 commandments in public school but we enforce them anyway.

At what point are we allowed to conduct a formal investigation on who thinks they’re qualified to manage our messaging for us?

If you’re caught in the pride of never having made anything out of your life, there’s still time to take pride in contributing to your species and getting caught up in the pride of your own accomplishments.

If you make copyrighting code technically impossible, engineering budgets will be allocated to lawyers instead of engineering salaries and design and engineering jobs will be reduced to minimum wage.

Without Apple we wouldn’t have these beautiful productions letting the world know that human ingenuity isn’t dead. Thank you to my species for what you did to contribute this year.

You can watch it later using the Developer App.

There are people in this world who, if they could vote for the inventors of standards to not exist, we wouldn’t exist.

You don’t technically work for Apple unless you design for this one rule:

We’re @first, we’re @best, we’re @firstandbest, and when we aren’t @first, we’ll still be @best.

Yes, we have @firstandbest technical requirements for designing for the best design team on the planet.

Engineers and designers won’t be treated like a tremendous burden in order to get paid when we’re a tremendous help.

When we're expected to, that's when we fall off the map and you never hear from us again.

Human effort minus lies of omission = design case studies

Our ability to understand immutable laws will always be our greatest 🎁 to humanity.

This is technically the only job I'm eligible for so I hope I get it.

If you don't reward @innovation and only match @innovation with @regulation because of your need to be in @control, @yourdesigners will stop designing for @yourcountry and @youreducationalsystem will no longer be guided by @actualscientificprinciples.

When in the Course of @humanevents, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the @politicalbands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the @powersoftheearth, the separate and @equal station to which the @LawsofNature and of @NaturesGod…

Twitter account @darius is Apple ID verified for @factorysignalcompliance.

Another clear indicator that Apple.com has been hijacked by @fakedesigners. 

Illustrated art is COMPLETELY out of @compliance.
SJ wouldn't have even taken the time to ask you if you knew what @company you worked for before firing you.

If @commercial interests continue to have their way with the shaping of how information is appropriated on the Internet, there will no longer be such thing as a “corner of the Internet” that is protected from @bigmedia, @bigdata and @bigpharma.

Steve Jobs was the hardest client in the world to please, not because he didn’t know what he was talking about most of the time, but because he was unassuming about which solutions made too many assumptions about the way something would be used.

Most @engineers don’t become @engineers because we need the @public to admire the way @ourbrain works but we’ll be damned if @ourown spouse isn’t allowed to admire us for it.

Apps are the new @countries.

We come complete with:
• People who understand @policydesign and @development.
• People who design @governments.
• People who understand their @population well enough to design and improve upon @legislation…

What do you love the most about the experience you are having right now?

What do you love the least about it?

It’s hard to believe that there are people in 2024 who actually believe that a designer should have to beg someone in order for them to receive a paycheck.

Quality of Life engineers understand that those who complain about a lack of @quality, @transportation or @accessibility in their life would have a lot less to @complain about if they took their @directresponsibilities to those of us who work in @qualitysecurity more @seriously.

You can recategorize all of your marketing email:

“With just a few taps.” 

Either the keynote script is out of @compliance or the documentation that got us there is wrong.

A few = 3 or more
Nothing should ever be more than @twosteps (clicks, taps, or other gestures) away.

You can all go fuck yourselves further than @hell if you think my @starratingsdata for @songdata in @iTunes didn’t forever change the game for the way @stardata would start being introduced in other apps & services.

Should I hide the ✅?

@Apple is pronounced ‘At Apple’
 is pronounced Apple

Apple is pronounced as "ˈa-pəl," where the 1st syllable sounds like "ap" (rhyming with "cap"), the 2nd syllable is a schwa sound, resembling "uhl."

Language Compliance matters.

I just had a ‘genius store experience’ at the genius bar where I was told I should disconnect from VPN to get rid of dialog windows that come up everyday telling me I’m ‘not valid’.

Most firms have a hello@ email address people use for onboarding new clients.

We have a goodbye@ email address @alanasayslove emails from when we need to fire a client.

Anyone convinced that there is no such thing as @electricity in heaven has never been taught the laws of the universe.

“I’m not asking you to talk to me, I’m TELLING you to talk to me.”

If you’re just getting started in Application Design, here’s a crash course/podcast on the importance of understanding ways that @AppSec plays a role in protecting the security history of your design decisions.

This twitter account isn't actually based in India. It's a @dataclass for the platform I teach from with 100% job placement rate to teach designers interested in learning how to design for @centralcompliance. 

Only the few survive.

https://ClearedJobs.net is the only place a designer like myself is authorized to find ‘new work

@clearedjobsdotnet

New client onboarding email address: goodbye@darius.design

hello@ came with too much toxic positivity. There is a higher than average probability I won’t be interested in working with you but you can always say hello.

If "Kyle Andeer" were our Chief Compliance Officer he wouldn’t use the word ‘customer’ to describe human factors processes we use to do support engineering. Language compliance is a chief responsibility of the Chief Compliance Officer.

Explain in one paragraph how IDE development is used to protect compliant @definitions for @reallife in the @engineeringsciences and how a lack of @compliance can cause @civiliandeaths and then show how this works in @javascript

If you treat @realdesigners and @realengineers like @dirt, we’ll go on @strike and you’ll forget what your life looked like when your @healthpreferences mattered and you had @humanrights.
