Now Apple seems less opinionated and more customizable there’s really no alternative companies to go to for people you want a highly opinionated platform as a phone or desktop OS.

#WWDC is one of those times that I’d normally miss twitter for all the sass and jokes, but I’ve manage to follow enough fellow sarcastic devs my timeline is full of all the good stuff.

Good hustle, gang.

Gotta say, I think the liquid glass stuff looks fuckin dumb as hell.

My brain, later: let’s never do that again, doesn’t seem worth it

I think there’s probably something similar with ā€œwould you rather have the specs or the slack channels talking about the specsā€ for feature work.

New Pimoroni Spectra inky impression has some great colour replication but oh my is that refresh sequence intense

The Blue Prince is an amazing game and i desperately want to talk about it online but i also don’t want spoilers.

Picked up this big boy while up at my parents. Classic strategy guides are one of my true obsessions.
