    I liked this article a lot - information-dense but approachable. It feels like you can understand the entire app using only the code snippets in the article, which speaks to the qu…

    I appreciate the thorough read! For deprecations we're lucky in that the underlying systems don't change very much (the Input Message Accountability Data isn't going anywhere). But…

    I guess the phrase "no abstractions" is specifically valuable to us when designing our REST API resources - our whole stack is certainly an abstraction of sorts, but we don't want …

    Yes, exactly, the important thing to us is that our users don't need to build an additional mental model between us and the networks we sit atop. If you know the network, we want y…

    Author here - this has been a useful mindset for us internally but I'm curious if it resonates externally. I'd love your feedback!

    I took a crack at recreating this in javascript once the necessary APIs made their way to mobile safari - https://highphone.app if interested! (iPhones only, sorry)

    Haha, sorry! I snagged it for a friend. Bought it immediately upon sight - wasn't gonna let it get away after someone got sailbo.at from under me.

    Wow, this is really good! I'm surprised at how many shortwords are still available given a little creativity.

    Neat idea overall! Some small feedback: - You should check and see if the device has rotation lock enabled (or use a rotation API that isn't affected by it); I keep it on by defaul…

    My top 3 are probably: - the iOS dev weekly newsletter (iosdevweek.ly) - NSHipster (nshipster.com) - objc.io (objc.io)

    Hmm, github.com is throwing a 500 error at the moment. I wonder if this is somehow related?

    Thanks! It feels good to get this out there - we want (and plan) to open-source more stuff but have been so busy that we haven't had the time. Deliberately writing this to be open-…

    It's also the name of a great short story by Cory Doctorow (link below). Bit of a ripoff by MS on the title. http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2007-09-17-n72.html
