I wasn't suggesting anyone should "just be quiet", in fact, I'm happy this person was able to express themselves and their situation openly on LinkedIn.
My point was simply this wasn't a very pragmatic approach to handling the situation. Some employers may not like to see this type of content on their professional profile and it may hurt their career.
As much as I feel sorry for this person and their experience, it seems to me this wasn't the best way to handle this situation.
It would have been more pragmatic to fire up leetcode, take a few interviews, and leave the job professionally. This probably would have come with a small pay bump, even with this persons limited professional experience.
Maybe I'm just lucky and I've never had a bad experience like this, but I couldn't see myself posting something like this professionally.
This is sound advice even if that means only starting your career in SF. Once you have an established career in the Bay Area you can command similar a similar salary in other cities and live where you want.
The points regarding AB tests and analytics simply isn't applicable to most commercial apps.
Understanding how your features/changes affect key metrics and understanding how your users are interacting with your app is so crucial when you are trying to generate revenue.
I would argue Apples analytics are no where near enough to accomplish this.
Interface builder, xibs and storyboards are very useful tools for even extremely large projects. Makes building and maintaining the UI extremely easy.
The idea that because a tool is easy to use is somehow indicative of the skill of the person using the tool, is completely bogus. Interface builder has a lot of advanced features for setting up complicated UI.
You could quite easily argue the opposite for someone who needlessly creates all of their UI in code rather then in interface builder.
My point was simply this wasn't a very pragmatic approach to handling the situation. Some employers may not like to see this type of content on their professional profile and it may hurt their career.
