It looks like Apple's watchOS team can take the rest of the summer off.

Every issue I ran into in the first 2 betas have been resolved in seed 3.

Look at these buttery smooth transitions when you slowly drag between vertical TabViews with colors.

Awesome work y’all!

Got laid off last week

I'm a long-time Apple ecosystem software engineer looking for a senior/lead position at a small to medium size company

My most recent position was as a staff engineer working on an iOS healthcare application that provides users with health and wellness coaching. The new features I worked on this year were all SwiftUI, and I'm eager to continue that path.

- 15 years iOS development
- 25 years macOS dev
- looking for US-remote, no sponsorship

If you're a straight white dude with tons of privilege that's asked to be on podcasts and speak at conferences, why don't you try “Recommending Somebody Else” today! It's totally free, and it doesn't mean you don't still get to do it too!

This is a very bizarre summer for me. I've barely even touched the new iOS 17 additions because I'm still making a ton of changes based on suggestions from my WWDC design lab. I don't need any of the new additions to do that.

Some of the changes I'm really excited about.

A design lab can be worth its weight in gold!

@tomn94 how big are stories? Does it need a full on live activity? This feels like something just a background task should handle 🫨.

New instance for Black queer people:

"My intention for BlackQueerLife is that when Black queers are searching for a place in the fediverse to call home, we are accessible to them."

"...the city of Paris has made enormous investments in public transit, built hundreds of miles of bike paths, and closed many streets to cars. Car trips within the city dropped by almost sixty per cent between 2001 and 2018, car crashes dropped by thirty per cent, and pollution has improved. The city is quieter and calmer; test scores go up as the air around schools cleans up."

65% of the guns confiscated in Baltimore came from out-of-state. That's a pretty frustrating fact when you're trying to reduce gun violence in your own state.

When I started on Mastodon, people would advise me to “only Boost posts.” Since there’s no algorithm that places a value on Favorites, “only Boosts have value.”

I disagree completely.

When people Favorite my posts, they unwittingly introduce themselves to me. I have discovered some very interesting people that I may not have if they didn’t Favorite my posts.

Keep ‘em coming. It’s nice to meet you.

For those that have adopted App Intents in their apps, or are considering it: What are the main frustrations / limitations you have hit? FB numbers are great, but in this case not required!

I hope that there is still room for idealists, who think we can and should still strive for a government for the people and by the people. Real change is slow and generational, it isn't flashy, it's hard work.

I don't know exactly how to celebrate my country right now, but I'll raise my glass repeatedly to the people who are still trying when it feels hopeless, to the true patriots who fight for human rights and not corporate greed.

There is goodness in the world, even if it doesn't always feel like it, so I'll celebrate courageous acts of kindness, people who defend those who cannot defend themselves, people who stand up when others tell them to sit down, thank you for your service.
