...is a valid Bitcoin wallet seed phrase.

I'm a /little/ surprised no one has tried to send money to it. Not even for the meme. The fact that the checksum word is "hard" is actually kind of good.

After years of watching other people write about software development, I decided that I wanted to give it a try too…

So I started a new blog!

To kick things off I wrote a (slightly belated) SwiftUI Wish List, but what I’m really looking forward to sharing is a new app I’m working on, and some […]

Went down the custom keyboard rabbit hole recently, and I’m quite happy with the result.

Headed off to Tokyo for try! Swift. If you’ll be there too, feel free to reach out and let’s meet up! 🇯🇵
