I love how Apple promotes “just a few lines of code”. It never is unless you’re doing their demo code. #wwdc

I think I want to build in Live Text into my writing app. #wwdc

Passkeys are great. Hope they are easy to implement; easier than OAuth. #wwdc

I still haven’t found a good use for Apple Shortcuts. It’s easier just doing it another way. Yup. I know that’s just me. #wwdc

The #wwdc #sotp code presos are a failure since the font sizes are tiny.

Lock Screen is the new emoji. Useless, but a ton of people will love it. #wwdc

Swift Charts looks promising. Maybe I’ll be able to strip out my charts code in my writing app. #wwdc

I hate regex. Just sayin. It’s a kludge in all languages that support it. Flame on! #regex

Happy National Churro Day

“Ever marry someone with your past.” #writing #throwawayline

“The gun. Don’t point it at me. It may cause you to feel guilt. It may be the first time. I doubt it. Do you take the chance?” #writing #throwawayline

What do you do when someone screams? Do you freeze? Run away in panic? Stand and fight? Rush to help? Your choice says a lot about your #character. #life #writing

You are your own Captain. Don’t sink your ship.

Self-assurance comes from facts, not belief. #life #success

The whiney people just ignore. The adamant ones are the ones you have to worry about. #life

Just because something is “advanced” doesn’t make it good.

No. Your tools won’t make you a better programmer, writer, etc. They can distract you or make a certain task easier, however. #life #success

Serious question: why all the focus on “sharing” in Apple stuff? Yes, sharing is good, but it assumes a plethora of friends and family who are likewise inclined, and interested in your stuff. #ios #mac #apple

Weird idea: a fully regex-based programming language. The closest I’ve come across is either Mouse or my own Mantis; not really regex, however. #programming

So how big a thing is VM on an iPad? How good is the context switch? #iPadOS

Regular expressions is what happens when a dunk cryptographer gets to program. #regex

If you’re not curious, you just don’t care. #life #failure

Playing with my new toy. Best writing feel vs price. Great for mind dumping notes with Kindle support. No distraction writing. But I’ll stick to #fountainpen and paper for long writings. This will save ink/paper. #writing @supernote

Never understimate someone’s stupidity, especially in mass quantities. It can kill you.

Be a good person. #life
