Something bothers me about the upcoming macOS 27 that I haven't seen anyone talking about much.
All the other macOS and OS X versions where named after beauty in nature: Jaguar, Mavericks, Yosemite, Sequoia, and such.
But macOS 27 will be the first named after a manmade object: Golden Gate.
That feels like not only a change in naming strategy, but also a fundamental shift in core beliefs about beauty, awe, and adventure.
It's disappointing.
