I was completely on the opposite side of the field. I was nowhere near the cottage. Not that it was a cottage - it was a river. But, then, I wouldn't know, of course, because I wasn't there.

I'm just surprised it took them that long. Clearly testing time was pretty short...

It's.... It's an app that sends "Yo" to people, with hundreds of thousands of users and a million dollars of funding...
Ok, folks. That's it, then. The human race has now officially jumped the shark. Time to pack up our ball and go home. Someone call NORAD.

NO! Not Yo!
Doh... 
When it come's to the point where we need to choose people to board the space ark one question needs to be on the list of disqualifiers... do they have a Yo account?
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Hi guys,
I'm not in the wrong place - this isn't a request for help... it's just a question to XCode developers out there.
If you were in an interview, without access to the internet or any reference manualls, would you be able to convert the following C# code into Objective-C ?
DateTime dt = new DateTime(2014, 12, 25); int nextYear = dt.Year + 1;
I know, it's dumb.
I'm just interested in knowing how many of you could program that in XCode, off the top of your heads.
I've been working with XCode for almost two years, and my reaction to that problem would be to reach for Google. And I'm not alone. 22,000+ readers have read the following CodeProject article, and if I was given this task, that number would increase by one.
iPhone OS: How do I create an NSDate for a specific date?
And extracting the Year from an NSDate variable ? Same thing again. I'd need to ask Google's help.
And don't even get me starting on mistakenly comparing two NSDates using the less-than or greater-than symbol (it'll actually compare the two pointers, rather than the dates..)
I just wonder why Apple doesn't, at some point, just try to make their existing SDK a little more.. finished, rather than adding 4,000 new SDK functions to the forthcoming iOS 8.
UIViews ? Let me set just the height value (yes, yes, I know I can write a category function to write this code myself)
And so on.

Asking this kind of question makes sense if you are to write a highly classified application where you can not have privilege to access network (yes, it sounds absurd but that's only reason I can think of). Still, you can have access to basic help material that usually comes along with IDEs and frameworks.
I would simply say I can't do it without even trying. My reason, stupid one, is that I may make a trivial and irreparable mistake. May be interviewer will ignore that if at least the approach is correct. May be he wouldn't.
I would probably ask about the development environment I will be working on after saying I can't so this.

It's probably easier with Swift. Just guessing here, as I haven't used either.

People still program for Apple systems? What is this, 1985?

Just folks who are interested in making money. Remember, Apple and Samsung make over 95% of the profits in the cell phone industry - and Apple makes the majority of that. It's not market share that's important, it's what you take home.
According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.

Yes, and making lots of money will help you with that.

Not me, but frankly I couldn't come up with the C# version either without googling, and I spent a few years with C# as the primary language.

without google and without my gists I would probably be stumbling with Intellisense.
