@_chuckyc @jeiting how many submissions do we need to convince RC to help @_chuckyc reach this final form?

[Ben Freiband @benfreiband]

@jazzychad I still miss phabricator 😛 What am I supposed to do with all this Arcanist knowledge

[Ben Freiband @benfreiband]

@jeiting I considered making it say Michigan and Ohio, but knew people would get heated

People don’t understand why I choose to work in person. It’s because I get to see modern art like this.

[Ben Freiband @benfreiband]

@jazzychad @jshchnz Would open source make it easier for folks to trust it with sweeping contact permissions? 🤔 Maybe both?

[Ben Freiband @benfreiband]

@swiftsonicconf @morrisinlife @MattHeaney23 @dvrzan @itspaolopv @FrankSolleveld @klemensstrasser @harshil @malinsundberg @jamesdempsey This is such a stacked lineup!

Just realized Xcode 27 has a built-in markdown editor 🤌

If Apple had employee dormitories, this would be fixed SO fast

[Charlie Chapman @_chuckyc]

@jazzychad is yet again embodying this quote 😆

Suuuuper cool

The best advice given to me for when to ask for a review was from @benfreiband

“Ask for a review after the user has had a positive experience in your app”

[Ben Freiband @benfreiband]

@swifteves @malinsundberg @airkai Y’all did so well highlighting what makes our developer community so incredible! Can’t wait to see everyone at @swiftsonicconf 😊

[Ben Freiband @benfreiband]

@austnstuff @Jchammond_ I do!! Isn’t it lovely? 😊 5 stars

[Ben Freiband @benfreiband]

As a rule of thumb, I don't praise Chris. It's bad for him. But he's been working hard on this and I'm excited to see it

[Chris Wu @MuseumShuffle]

I made a new app (first in 3 years) and it would REALLY help me if you pre-ordered it.

What's My Set is a simple, accessibility set counter for workouts with accessibility as a priority.

The handy rest/interval timers bump the set counter for you.

🤫Feeling the eerie quiet after #WWDC26? Lets make some noise together again in November at SWIFTSONIC!

🎸We dropped SWIFTSONIC ROCKSTAR at WWDC where you can beat @swifteves in a guitar duel for a cheaper ticket! Think you can become rock royalty?
