Seattle bound

I keep writing iOS 26 on all my checks

First day off since mid-April. I’m proud of what we delivered for the developer community. Now to re-learn how to rest…

There’s still time to sign up for the WWDC Group Labs, streamed online! Don’t miss the UI Frameworks lab, Wed., 9am PDT. I’ll be joined by a panel of Apple engineers and leaders to discuss implementing the new design in your apps! developer.apple.com/wwdc25/la…

A moment of calm before the excitement begins!

One week ‘til Dub Dub! I’m so stoked to welcome developers to Apple and online. Totally my favorite time of the year! #wwdc25

For @sketch.com v102, we rebuilt our iOS 18 UI Kit to support stacks and frames! sketch.com/s/bb57439f-1... Download the "templates and guides" file, too! Has lots of pre-made symbol instances and UIs, color a material palettes, a dynamic type chart, and more: developer.apple.com/design/resou...

C: What happened to Coolidge at the end of his biography? L: He died. Same as most biographies. C: Mmhmm. Except autobiographies. L: I guess. C: Unless they have a ghost writer. … L: I hate you.

Thirty. Days. Til dub dub!

No idea how many were at the #handsoff at the #seattle center, but the whole lawn was cheek to jowl after 12:30pm, peaking i’d guess about 1pm. Most, incl me, could see or hear the stage, but were there to represent none the less.

Turns out participating in a peaceful protest is good for the soul

5,300 people at the #SanJose march. #HandsOff

Thousands of people out in #SanJose #HandsOff

Transit parking and train completely full. Lots of protest signs. #SanJose #HandsOff

I feel judged.

Colors flying. Anti-racist. Anti-fascist. Always Seattle. #EBFG #SoundersFC

I’m thrilled to get ready to share another great WWDC! I know not everyone can make it to Cupertino. If you’re hosting a watch party, I’d love to hear about it! developer.apple.com/wwdc25

Celebrate International Women’s Day at Apple Developer Center Cupertino and online on March 27! Sign up here: developer.apple.com/events/vi…

I was impressed with Rep. Liccardo’s performance at the town hall. Lots of pointed questions, entirely from the left, which he listened to and answered thoughtfully. There was seating for 700, and dozens of people were standing or sitting on the gym floor.

A few hundred people in line for Rep. Liccardo’s town hall. I’m probably in the front quarter of the line.

Morning at Apple Park

Waiting to depart Denver in a snowstorm. They’re de-icing the plane for the second time. Pilot says they’ll also need to do a manual inspection of the wings immediately before our take-off run. Exciting?

Travel can be exhausting

Happy luggage at SLC

Starting the day right at Caffe Macs with a cappuccino, notebooks, colored pencils, and fountain pens.

It’s event day! We have developers from 98 countries joining us online and at Apple Developer Center Cupertino today and tomorrow for “Bring SwiftUI to your app.” I’m beyond excited! I love spending time with the developer community.

Today was my seven year anniversary at Apple. It’s a privilege to play a small positive role in the lives of our developers!

Coming Feb. 5–6 to Apple Developer Center Cupertino and on livestream, Bring SwiftUI to your app! We’ll focus on how your expertise in imperative user interface frameworks like UIKit and AppKit can help you get comfortable with SwiftUI’s declarative approach.

Cookies decorated!

one thing i think is a detrimental attribute of a society is a negative attitude towards math. it’s very strange to me that in north america math gets dismissed as too hard or too confusing by most people. especially to kids.

Coming on Feb. 5–6, at Apple Developer Center Cupertino and on-line, Bring SwiftUI to your app! Join me and my colleagues as we share details of SwiftUI specifically targeted for experienced UIKit and AppKit developers!

Happy to be healthy enough to decorate our tree tonight!

Vitals makes my battle with sepsis clear. I’m grateful for modern medicine and to be on the mend.

Hello Developer - December 2024 Edition is out. They called out a redesign of the documentation site. I've noticed that lot of new sections has this new look. I wonder if it is rolling out for all docs. Also, kudos to whoever made those graphics 🤩 developer.apple.com/hello/decemb...

It smells so good. Is dinner ready yet? #dogsofmastodon

Trying out Bluesky. This should cross post from micro.blog if I tapped the right buttons.

Want to chat with your favourite Apple evangelists and other WWDR friends? @lindadong.bsky.social made an EXCELLENT starter pack where you can follow us all in one go: go.bsky.app/4uGMYCJ

In the grand tradition of using a new social platform to talk about a social platform… What's are the norms around sharing/finding starter packs? Is there a search interface for them, or do folks post packs in their feeds?

Tap tap. Is this on?
