I pushed the magic button to get a Shyp person here to send out a couple packages I have been procrastinating sending for weeks. After that was settled, I dialed up Time Warner Cable, to get my modem swapped out, a process I’ve been actively trying to get done for weeks.
After a combination of pushing buttons and yelling “tech support” into the phone for 10 minutes to get me to the right place, I finally got a real life human on. Continue Reading →
Just leaving this here for later, feel free to call me out on it if I’m wrong.
The Watch isn’t about Apple selling luxury products, it’s about making something nice looking enough that you’ll actually wear it. Continue Reading →
This has been a recurring theme for me in 2014. https://t.co/H613AEUvwj

People have asked how I make changes so quickly to my code, it's because I've made it so it can be changed quickly.

As a bad math student, the best advice I got was to solve for one scenario, solve it for another, and only then try to connect the dots. Continue Reading →

I tweeted earlier, comparing DuckDuckGo to Google when searching for the term “Go 1.4 beta”, and how the first 50 results (I got bored scrolling and didn’t go further, no pun intended) on DuckDuckGo didn’t even have one mention of the language. Gabriel Weinberg being the good founder that he is (he seems very smart, and I highly respect what he’s doing) replied asking for more examples of things queries that he can investigate to improve, so I figured I’d use the opportunity to leverage my thoughts, instead of the discussing the symptoms.

I’m starting to think that the ramp up in sapphire production from Apple isn’t about a screen, but TouchID sensors on every Apple product… Continue Reading →
The internet decided last week, the iPad is dying. Too bad, I really enjoyed using mine. Well, not really for the first 4 years, but when Apple released the iPad Mini, it became my computing partner. Supposedly the Mac is sitting in the corner rapping “don’t call it a comeback.”
It depends on what you want out of a computer, and yes, I’m calling the iPad a computer. Continue Reading →
With rumors swirling about a bigger iPhone 6, I figured I’d touch on them (haha, puns). A few years ago, I thought the idea of a larger iPhone would be something I disliked. With my small-ish hands, even the iPhone 5’s 4 inch screen is too large for me to reach the back button in the top left corner of the screen with one hand.
But now, since iOS 7, I don’t fear a bigger phone, I would even welcome one. Continue Reading →
I’ve been doing Objective-C for almost 5 years (woo!), so at this point I think I have a better understanding than most of Apple’s motivations and intentions, with relation to building the language.
That said, recently I’ve been loving working with Go, and there’s a few reasons for that. Continue Reading →
It's short notice, but I’m giving a talk Stony Brook University tonight about How Startups Fail. So if you find yourself in the middle of… Continue Reading →
