Programming Job at Apple

I've been enjoying myself with hacking Apple's open source software. I learned a lot of stuff from their source code. Better quality than GNU shitware. I enjoyed writing a R7RS interpreter in Obj-C. Apple really did a great choice choosing LLVM compilers and Objective-C can be fun if you already know a lot of Smalltalk.

Now I want a programming job at Apple. I don't mind being a CORPORATE DRONE. I want to fascinate in Aqua's or iOS' source codes. I want to help make great leaps in making Safari as good as Firefox. I just want a job that I could enjoy while surrounded by Touhou portraits in my cubicle.

I could never get a programming job at Apple and Apple would only hire bad programmers (like that one Mexican kid who claims to dream in code) and ignore the good ones like me.;_;

I don't think Firefox can be used as any sort of standard. Furthermore, I really don't think you want to work on a browser in your lifetime if you can help it.

Working at Apple would probably be similar to working at MS. Mostly shit, unless you get to work on LLVM or something, but most likely you'd be dishing out XCode GUI version 75.2.

I've personally used Obj-C and don't find it all that great. It's a bastardization of both C and Smalltalk. I like both those languages, but don't like Obj-c.

More interesting jobs would be working at Intel or writing software for embedded systems, or something like working on the massively parallel computational cluster systems, distributed FS, etc, at Google.

Apple in itself doesn't really come out with much. They mostly take open source software and repackage it.
