Due to scale, the most boring thing that deeply upsets me is that creating an iOS appointment defaults to no alert at time of event.
I would like to think that I am decent at thinking of edge cases, and I cannot think of even one such use case.
How does a default like this get decided at Apple, where "things just work?"
Is this what happens at BigOrg, no matter the org's origin?
