I've spent weeks working on this big release of Please Don't Rain and it's finally out today.

I made a thread that shows the most significant changes.
Please Don't Rain is starting the year off with a big update!

Version 5.20 is rolling out now.

The UI of the main forecast has a fresh new look which adjusts much better to some sizes and orientations.

Glad that @joshdholtz.com is no longer making me keep this secret!

I’ll be giving an updated rendition of AI (Without the Hype), to account for how much has changed in AI since I gave the talk in…

*checks notes*

September 2025.

And of course I’ll be teaching many evergreen AI lessons as well.

No, but for real, @deepdishswift.com is amazing. Highly recommended as a conference, as a way to meet cool folks AND as a way to enjoy Chicago and our many pizzas (but especially deep dish).
