One of the most damning things about the #Apple ruling yesterday is how basically every developer I've talked to is overwhelmingly *happy* with it.

The amount of goodwill that Apple has squandered is breathtaking. Actions have consequences, and this feels like the beginning of Apple's “Finding Out”.

After nearly 11 total years at Apple, today I said goodbye to my friends and signed out of those accounts for the last time. It's been a wild ride, but it's time for something different! I'll be taking a couple weeks off and then joining a local stealth startup that's making a Mac app.

I'm very excited to try some new things, work for a small company, share some github repos I've got, maybe release some apps… It's gonna be great 😎

Every now and then I update a little #golang server backend I maintain and find myself googling things like “golang if statement syntax" and “golang lowercase string”.

Being a good developer doesn't mean you know everything.

Being a good developer means you ask questions and find answers.
