I spend way too much time picking dog hairs out of the edges of my Kindle’s screen.

I realized today that in my new position, I get to use Vim for basically all of my coding. Bash, Ruby, and Go are all great in Vim!

Setting up my Go environment like:

I can’t believe it took me this long to read Practical Vim. This book is so dense with useful information about getting the most out of Vim, and it taught me something new and useful in the first minute of reading!

I installed the iOS 12 public beta on my primary device! Not a ton feels changed, but a bunch of animations feel smoother.

The grocery store was playing the Macarena yesterday and it’s been stuck in my head ever since.

I have very quickly become a Kindle convert and now you will have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

I should go to more conferences just to be able to acquire more stickers.

My last day of “freedom.” Honestly, I’m itching to be working again. I’ve enjoyed the time off, but knowing that something new is coming, I can’t wait!

A person’s GitHub profile should not be how you measure their ability to code. But I wonder if it could provide insight for other important things, like how they interact with others in PRs and issues. If that activity is present, I’d expect it to be representative.

Siri Shortcuts look incredible, having watched the intro session. When iOS 12 is released and apps start adopting custom intents, it’s going to change how we use our phones.

This year’s release of Xcode is the only one I will allow people to refer to as “10code.”

I’m enjoying seeing people with their Memojis as their Twitter avatars. Looks like a really fun feature, especially in FaceTime.

I haven’t signed up for the Apple Developer Program again yet, and I can’t really justify doing so just yet. So I think I’ll wait for the public beta (usually developer beta 3) to consider installing iOS 12 and friends on my devices.

Oh no, it looks like I need to buy a new watch in order to get watchOS 5. And I really like what I saw in watchOS 5.

That was a very exciting WWDC keynote! I’m trying to actively resist installing betas, but I think I have an iPhone 6s that could take the iOS 12 beta perhaps. But now I need a nap before the State of the Union!

I’m gonna be so mad when Panic at the Disco is the WWDC Beer Bash band the first year I’m not there.

I’m not thrilled about GitHub being acquired. I would prefer that they were independent. But I’m not practically worried about it. We’ll see where this goes.

Just went through and added emoji to most of my calendar event names. Really spruced up the place. This is what I have to do to kill time before the WWDC keynote.

Ahhh I hate waiting for this part. Just run the app!

Historically, I’ve installed iOS betas on my personal phone because I’m a sucker for new features. I’m telling myself right now I won’t do it this year. Four years of running nightly builds of macOS and Xcode has worn me down, and now I just want stability.

I just binged the hell out of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. That is a damn good show, and I want more.
