    I was a stay at home dad for two years in my mid-thirties. Learned to make iPhone apps, and landed a job developing iPhone apps when my kid was two. It was my first programming job…

    Thanks for writing this. I was a big fan of Adobe through the '90s and early '00s and also noticed their devolution post-Geschke/Warnock. I wish those complaining about today's Ado…

    I have a PowerMac G4 1.25 DP that boots Mac OS 9.2.2 natively from an SSD (using a SATA to PATA converter board.) It absolutely screams (Photoshop 5.5 cold launches in about 1.5 se…

    I totally appreciate it! And kudos on your personal mission. Not that you don't have enough on your plate, but I wonder if you've been interested in doing a kind of "on writing" po…

    I don't have a question but I first heard about you because of Inconsolata (I instantly fell in love with it.) Also, your writing is just exceptionally good.

    Yes! So great, especially after a night of drinking Belgian beer. These Belgian frites are the best fries I've ever had (and I'm old enough to have had the original McDonald's frie…

    What journalism is actually for, and how capitalism actually works, are completely at odds. I have no answers on how this can be squared.

    Great point. The recommendation of the article seems pretty straightforward and uncontentious. Not that I'm a fan of the major national news media but anything they can do to up th…

    Did the price of Halide just jump from $5 (or, $3 as I paid in 2017 according to my receipt) to $30?

    Sorry, I made an assumption (that all three permissions were necessary) after granting camera permissions but not photo library or location permissions. The UI was not clear about …

    I was never a fan of the first version of this app, despite being a mobile app developer and a photography nerd. I paid for and tried the initial version (Mark I?) a year or two ag…

    10 year iOS developer here. I don't have any answers for you (not a compiler expert either) but yeah, auto-complete of Swift in Xcode continues to suck in a lot of different ways. …

    Would you consider releasing the core frequency detection module? (I'm assuming it's in C++?) I'm also an iOS developer and it would be fun to play around with it. Is the chromatic…

    This app is really neat, and I'm curious about what your app is doing beyond FFT analysis. (I spent like 15 minutes playing a 'simulated' church organ and watching the frequency pa…

    I purchased a Nest thermostat and installed it as per the instructions. Set it to 69°F before going to sleep. I awoke at 3AM with the temperature at 83°F and no way to turn it off.…

    As someone who develops for iOS and Android I agree. Xcode and the Cocoa Touch frameworks have improved a huge amount in just a few short years. Meanwhile, the Android frameworks s…
