When the lights flash, it's a win! @ryantoken.com starts the week off with a great article on serverless Swift -- connecting his smart light bulbs to a backend running in AWS Lambda: www.ryantoken.com/blog/serverl...
Swift itself picked up my blog post. I am in awe 🤩
Very sad to listen to the final episode of Under the Radar with @marcoarment.bsky.social and David Smith. It's the only podcast where I've listened to every single episode, and it has helped shape my career.
Thank you both for the insights, inspiration, & thoughtful discussion. I'll miss it

My apps (CatchUp, Outrank, and Hot Local Food) have all been updated with support for iOS 26 and Liquid Glass!
I think they look much better with the new design. Download links in the thread 👇

This article by @jono.id goes extremely hard and I could not agree more www.jonoalderson.com/conjecture/j...
JavaScript broke the web (and called it progress)
We replaced simple websites with complex apps nobody asked for. Now it takes a complex build pipeline just to change a headline.

Finally had some time to watch a few WWDC sessions on this year’s updates to Swift Concurrency. The changes all look SO nice. Can’t wait to implement them.

My graph looks like a barren wasteland now😩

Yes, the vibes are off at Apple. But I’ve never been more enthusiastic about writing Swift. Can’t wait to see what WWDC brings. #SwiftEverywhere #WWDC25

Finally got to implement something with the Swift OpenAPI Generator, and it is so incredibly nice
Best part: none of the generated code needs to be committed since it runs at build time

I have never felt a stronger urge to go full-stack Swift. The tooling is either already there or very close.
