I'm a software engineer who used to be a construction and farm laborer. I'm a progressive who used to be a redneck. I play guitar and make things.

My thoughts and opinions are very much my own.

The more I read about the MacBook Neo, the more it appears to be a love letter to folks developing macOS apps. It's gonna have great numbers, with a big uptick this summer in US back-to-school season, and will be a terrific way for native apps to get in front of more people. While it looks like a very capable system, for users to get the most of out it native apps need to shine.

Fool me three times, and I must be wearing a red hat.
