very excited to attend Deep Dish Swift in Chicago this May!! my first indie developer conference since wading into Apple land

App Intents is the sleeper Apple framework that will one day tie it all together.

I needed spring

I found the Vision Pro demo person’s script at the Apple Store super distracting and off-putting. It was not a good experience.

Surprised there was no demo or even mention of Siri in my 30 minute guided tour of Vision Pro at the Apple Store.

I was surprised how much light leaked in from under Vision Pro. I didn’t feel that immersed because of it.

Drives me nuts in VS Code Copilot chat when I’m drafting a prompt in the chat box and use an arrow key to move around the draft – but instead it brings me to the previous prompt (like arrowing thru terminal history) - and then i can’t arrow back to my draft and it’s just gone… grrrrr

Hit knee on desk. Yelled ouch. AirPods conversation mode ducked my music.

I try to do too many things at once.

I’ve been noodling back and forth between NavigationSplitView and TabView.

I’ve been chasing my SwiftUI tail all day long.

The new iOS Journal app suggesting I journal about listening to a podcast about the new iOS Journal app.

Momentum feels good.

Everything is hard!

I need to commit.

I need to find my git rhythm.

Just realized my last commit was 30 days ago. That’s a long time. Too long.

It feels good to speak words.

Making a good app is hard.

XML 🤮

I still get genuinely surprised and excited how fast computers can do things.

Three steps forward.

One step forward, six steps back.

Rethinking how my entire codebase is structured.

Pausing to breathe and rethink my model.
