Let it be known that even if he’s not on the clock, RevenueMatt from @RevenueCat.com will materialize if you approach the booth (Otherwise known as @mattheaney23.bsky.social)

Tomorrow I begin my journey to Prague for @mdevcamp.bsky.social! I can't think of a better (or at least more in-character) way to be introduced to Prague, than by gathering with a bunch of fellow mobile devs. Looking forward to helping folks cut their teeth on the workings of the iOS Keychain!

I always make sure that my performance self-reflections at work consider my audience. It's important to highlight what management wants to see, in their infinite wisdom 😌 (This is an actual message I sent my boss)

@deepdishswift.com had an amazing new speaker lineup this year, but it also brought together the same amazing dev community and friends. Now to simply become a hermit and recharge for the couple months before #WWDC26 when I get to see people again!

Heads-up, the command to add the new Xcode MCP to Codex is `codex mcp add xcode -- xcrun mcpbridge`, different from what's in the docs.

In the latest Tahoe beta, sign-in prompts show you what source your passkey is from! @rmondello.com apologies, I apparently took this picture on a potato

Yesterday, I made my debut as a speaker at @swiftconnection.bsky.social in Paris, and I’m so excited I got to talk about accessibility on iOS! With so many other great talks, and a lovely audience, the entire experience was a delight. I mightttt just have to keep speaking 😊

If you need another reason to make sure your app’s permission usage descriptions are informative, remember that all of your permission prompts will be shown immediately if someone adds your app to Assistive Access – all without having the context of the running app

This year’s WWDC was even more incredible than last year’s. But now that I’ve recharged my social battery, I can’t wait to get back to working on new projects :)

Thanks everyone who showed up to Code Crawl @ WWDC! It was an awesome crowd and a great time. We can’t wait to see folks next year! Thanks to Adrian and Matt for being amazing co-conspirators

Indie Fair has begun at CommunityKit! Don’t forget to come check out the amazing booths here (I swear I’m not being bribed to post so much, it’s just so fun)

WWDC Day 1 was incredible. The keynote and SotU in person absolutely have a different energy. The labs were invaluable as always for asking questions and learning the new tech. Make sure to send your feedback items! Apple really does read them

I’ve received confirmation that @chriswu.com does in fact exist! Whether I exist is still up in the air, tragically
