I’m always excited when it’s Xcoders day, and today is no exception.
You should come join us tonight!

Introducing my boys to Darkwing Duck!
16” MacBook Pro ordered. I’m stoked to get this new machine!
I sent this message to a buddy on Slack yesterday and this morning am feeling incredibly vindicated (talking abut the release of the 16” MacBook Pro delaying the new episode of the Upgrade podcast)
The Mandalorian episode 1 did not disappoint. No spoilers here but you should definitely check it out.
Got Disney+ set up on the Apple TV and our maiden voyage as picked by Atticus is Super Buddies. I’m really excited for the kids to go to bed so Emily and I can get in to The Mandalorian.
One delightful thing about my AirPods Pro (or gen 2 with Siri) is that I can start a workout using Siri on the AirPods. I wasn’t expecting that level of integration, but it’s great feeling like Siri is one thing everywhere rather than distinct instances on different devices.
Sitting down with my ballot to vote. I always have a difficult time figuring out who & what to vote for because 1) it takes a lot of time to feel like I’m informed enough to make a decision and 2) I don’t know where to find trustworthy information. Am I overthinking this?
I really like using Swift to write scripts. Using a language I already know (while I realize it’s not as efficient as shell or Ruby or Python would be) is a huge time-saver. Looking forward to playing around with more Swift scripting.
I wrote a new blog post, now I’m attempting to write a script to automate the process of publishing said post. So I need to learn how to ssh in to my server, get to the proper directory, and run a git fetch && git pull. Any tips appreciated 🙂
Who can I talk to about this cutting edge device?
I’m really excited for our Xcoders gathering on Thursday to celebrate 15 years of Xcoders. I hope you’ll join us! xcoders.org/2019/10/0…
Did a fun little project to automate sending an email that my wife would otherwise need to send a couple of times every week. It’s nice to be able to use my skills to make annoying things simpler 😊
It’s time for me to hop aboard the iOS/iPad OS Beta train. 🚉
Yes Apple Music, I always try to follow up listening to the Beastie Boys with Saint Johnny Cash 😊
Is it possible to put a footer on a SwiftUI Form? Looking for the equivalent of a UITableView.tableFooterView.
I’m on call for one of our apps this week. The worst part of being on call is the temptation to do other work during off-hours. I’m usually a stickler about this stuff but always having a work phone on me makes Slack that much closer to me.
I started writing up some of my experiences (and to be honest, big struggles) with learning SwiftUI last night. It’s grown to be quite a large post. Would it be better to post it all in one shot, or break it up as a few different posts?
I need to fix Scorebook’s Settings screen to work with Dark Mode in iOS 13. Great, I thought, let’s rebuild it in SwiftUI. That feels like a good candidate for an isolated test, right? Now I want to bind a Toggle to a UserDefault boolean value and my brain is melting.
I’m really happy with how my Xcode project & XcodeGen Talk went at tonight’s @xcoders. There was some great discussion afterwards and it seemed like a lot of people are excited about getting into project generation!
I don’t understand traffic going north from Seattle. It used to be that I could take the 413 northbound at 3:20 and get to Mountlake Terrace for the 3:50 119 to get home. I’ve not been able to get to MLT by 3:50 for the past few weeks now. It’s really frustrating.
It’s amazing to wake up to the first new Tool music in 13 years. I’m really excited (and nervous) for August 30. I don’t know why I always get a little nervous when a band I love releases new music.
Got the new @xcoders podcast edited and ready for publishing in the morning. Look for it tomorrow!
My kingdom for a fast, easy, reliable way to seamlessly get photos from my Sony Alpha 7II to my iCloud Photo library. Having this happen automatically on my iOS devices is amazing and a huge source of friction in my big camera shooting.
It’s an extra awful traffic day going south on I-5. We’ll get to Long Beach someday.
