I’ve been working on this in my spare time … if you are a grass roots sports team manager and love to post on the socials, this is for you.

It’s all about making slick pro-looking social media posts for our local teams in seconds.

Oh hi… it’s me, the guy with no internet again because the useless pricks at @NBN_Australia and @TPG_Telecom are seemingly incapable of providing a working internet two days in a row.

“We are powering Australia’s digital future” seems to be overselling it a bit

[Craig Edwards @edwardaux]

4 full-day outages planned in the next 10 days, with another 4 already under their belt in the past 10 days as well. Tip-top stuff @NBN_Australia 👏

@JackoPlane @evanderkoogh Wait until I make it available as an NFT!

@whalec @michaelmeloni Half decent. No better

[Craig Edwards @edwardaux]

@whalec @michaelmeloni Half decent apps, you say? As it turns out, they are my speciality

[Craig Edwards @edwardaux]

This is such a perfect example of the hubris that plagues the tech industry. The absolute assumption that expertise in one narrow field means you’re automatically an expert in every other field. It is embarrassing.

It's remarkable how many people who've never run any kind of company think they know how to run a tech company better than someone who's run Tesla and SpaceX.

@timsneath A while back, you were looking for examples of desktop apps. Here's an example I recently released that helps manage AWS (and eventually GCP) cloud resources

[Craig Edwards @edwardaux]

I recently released something I've been mucking around with in my spare time.

If you're a macOS user that needs to have a speedy view of your AWS resources (supporting multiple accounts), check it out.

@nicklockwood I'd vote for the former.

Validation is simpler... either it de-serialises correctly into a Point class or it doesn't. The latter needs to deal with the case where the server might send zero, one, or five values in the array.

@dimsumthinking I've got a personal macOS app I wrote that uses EKEvent.eventIdentifier and it seems 100% stable.

I believe if the event gets moved between calendars it might change, but I just don't do that 😂

And now confirmed to be running as a Liberal preselection candidate

@steipete Yah, I also recently discovered that the open source implementation of URLSession is a wrapper around libcurl https://t.co/rXdmm9ED2r

[Craig Edwards @edwardaux]

@objcio Ok, thanks for clarifying. No dramas

[Craig Edwards @edwardaux]

@objcio Just curious if you happen to have an app (iOS or Apple TV) that I can log into that keeps track of where I am up to in terms of watching the various Swift Talk collections? Or is there perhaps an API where I could write my own?

BTW, love your content! Thanks so much

[Craig Edwards @edwardaux]

@nicklockwood I explored this very problem a little while ago https://t.co/WuawZivLBd

I think it could be generalised further with a custom decoder but something shiny caught my eye and I moved on to other problems

[Craig Edwards @edwardaux]

@_craigstanford @petehare Have just spent the last hour watching old C64 YouTube videos 😂 #goodtimes

[Craig Edwards @edwardaux]

@_craigstanford @petehare OMG, yes! They just need to add some hacky-sack juggling too

[Craig Edwards @edwardaux]

@tapbot_paul Send him a link to a one-off Testflight build that randomly outputs slightly incorrect calculations

[Craig Edwards @edwardaux]

@zachsimone Yup, definitely option two. I’ll take future safety over brevity every time
