Mid last month (September, for those keeping score at home), a peculiar email arrived in my inbox. Therein, I was referred by an Apple employee with an opportunity to potentially work there. To say the least, my interest was piqued. After all, after spending the past 2 years up to my elbows in some of their software’s guts, reverse engineering, patching, and exploring, I’d like to think I had some authority on the subject.
