Today we achieved the dream. Made a function called `missyElliott` that takes a data structure, flips it, and reverses it. I have ascended.

I've been making apps for years now and I have to say the work @Twitch on iOS put into handling PiP both inside and outside the app actually made me go "wow, how did they do that?"

With iOS 14, if you’re deep in a navigation stack and want to quickly head back to a level, you can long-press the back button to bring up the history stack. Another reason to use stock UI elements.

To give you an idea of how awesome `UICollectionView.CellRegistration` is, I threw together a quick minimal demo. Looks so much cleaner than the old way. Notice how the cell is strongly typed and no casting is needed... #wwdc2020

I saw this and I wanted to retweet it but the protester’s face was in it... so I cropped it but I did need this to be seen.

I've noticed that when politicians talk about protests, they lump everyone together and generalize, i.e looting, rioters. However, when they talk about cops they always make distinctions, the majority are good, just one bad apple, etc. That rhetoric says much about what ails us

Giving good feedback is so important, as it helps your team learn from each other and be the best you can be. Here are our 5 best practices: 1. You are not a judge, you are a coach. 2. Make the effort. 3. Start positively. 4. Offer concrete suggestions. 5. End positively.
