📢 Big news! I'm shifting from my role at Apple as an Eng Manager (EM) for SwiftUI to a new role as an EM for macOS. My time on SwiftUI was some of the most fun in my career; however, CA never quite felt like home.

This new role offers an amazing opportunity: remote work! [1/2]

[Steven Peterson 🏳️‍🌈 @squeakytoy]

Excited to tell you about what’s new in SwiftUI at 2pm! #WWDC https://t.co/o1TtFXdxls

[Sam Lazarus @slazaruseth]

Super proud to have worked on this! It's one of those things that will hopefully be invisible now that it's fixed, but anyone who has hit this before knows just how meaningful this work is.

[Steven Peterson 🏳️‍🌈 @squeakytoy]

People have been really excited about .reorderable() at #WWDC and rightfully so! Watch Jack’s great code-along to see more about how it works: https://t.co/EFet00yweW

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

@MarkVillacampa yes all good changes! just unfortunately timing! Hopefully someone carries the WWDC Karaoke torch for me while I'm gone... cc @slazaruseth ? 👀

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

For the first time in as long as I can remember, I have to miss #WWDC this year. The timing of my landlord selling my apartment and, thus, my unexpected move just didn't work out for me to make the trip across the ocean. 😭

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

I'm going to miss seeing everyone and meeting new people so much! 💕

(The good news is I bought a place, so no one is kicking me out next year!)

So, see you all next year! And if any of you ever pass through Oslo before that, don't hesitate to reach out; let's get coffee!

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

My time on the Accessibility team at Apple was a great highlight in my career! These folks are doing amazing work 🤩Don't miss this opportunity to join them!

[Note: I am not the hiring manager and cannot answer questions about the specific role.]

Last night, I went to say goodbye to my OG rope teacher by taking his class. I brought my heart so much joy to train with him again, and I'm so grateful to have learned for such an amazing coach and human. 💖 Here's the stuff we worked on—all new material for me and SO much fun!

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

@interplato Then for the grammar tabes, I asked it to format these as cloze deletions (e.g. “å dra – {{c1::drar}} – dro – har dratt”), so Anki hides a random form and I guess it. Then it spits out a CSV and I just import it to Anki and BOOM flashcards for days. [2/2]

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

The vocabulary PDF -> Anki Cloze-style flashcards pipeline via GPT for my Norwegian course has been a godsend of a time saver. Manually entering 100s of flashcards was wearing me down, but this means I can focus on the learning and not the data entry!

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

@interplato I'm taking on online Norwegian course and it gives me PDFs full of vocabulary. I just told chatGPT that I wanted it to take those vocab lists and turn it into a CSVs that Anki can import (using its import function). [1/2]

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

Almost done sorting, packing, offloading. Some stuff stored w/ a friend, some stuff ready for Norway, the rest given away via buy-nothing-new. Turns out a spreadsheet of my entire life’s possessions is the best endorsement for anti-consumerism I've seen yet.

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

Just overheard a coworker say: "People only hide specifics when they don't know them or they're not good." ... and I'm not sure if they're taking about work or dating but either way: TRUE.

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

Past me booked herself to teach a rope class laaate tonight and a doctor's appointment very eaaarly tomorrow. 😭

There’s a certain betrayal in realizing the architect of your exhaustion was none other than…yourself.

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

I booked the one-way ticket! Going to fly to central Europe on Oct 26 and do a little traveling before settling up north in Oslo. It still doesn’t feel real. I’ll be posting Reels like this about the experience on my IG, so feel free to follow along! https://t.co/SDQxLzuYe9

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

@Hakonbogen Thank you! I appreciate that a lot!

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

https://t.co/6tWsSI39CO out here holding my entire life together like digital duct tape, with whole lists called things like "Can I get X in Norway" and "The immigration state machine."

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

@michaelnevensen Thank you so much! I really appreciate the offer! I'm sure I'll have a ton to learn and figure out and might take you up :-)

1. Remote role ✅
2. Norway 🇳🇴 visa application ✅
3. ...who knows!?

2 years ago I decided I wanted to move to Norway, not knowing when or how. Today I applied for my visa. Things are in storage, shippers are lined up, & it finally feels real. So excited for the next chapter!

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

@lorenzozar yes - getting cut in 1/2 approx. but this is very fair in the Norwegian market so I have no issue with it.

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

@Hakonbogen Yes! I’ll be starting off in Oslo and I’d love to stop by! Tusen takk!
