I keep an archive and index of his posts on GitHub so that they are easy to find. https://github.com/macshome/The-Wisdom-of-Quinn

It sucks because the forums are one of the worst place he could be putting this information–it's a terrible medium, hard to search, and full of information that ought to be elsewhere. I do not appreciate that Apple can rely on this horrible stopgap instead of writing technotes like they're supposed to.

Pre-NeXT takeover, Apple had a lot of folks like Quinn to support developers, and an entire documentation department churning out content. Quinn was always one of if not the best.

While much was gained in the NeXT merger, the biggest thing that was lost was developer support and documentation. They were gutted in March 1997 and were never restored. Avie Tevanian had no respect for documentation and his attitude infected the rest of the organization. One dude did so much irreparable damage.
