We have nearly 600 people who've RSVP'ed for my Community Gathering - Pre-WWDC26 event today at San Pedro Square in San Jose. I might run out of name tags for everyone. See you all tonight!
My Community Gathering – Pre-WWDC26 event is one week away. Connect with members of the Apple Developer community, share what you’ve been building, discuss predictions for WWDC, and catch up with old friends. More than 400 people have already RSVP’d! https://luma.com/trtbdihd
The AI version of me in the Office Hours thumbnail got a sportcoat, headset, and apparently an iPhone Ultra foldable.
The real me will be live tonight at 6pm PT talking about Action Phrase — voice control for live production.

At Deep Dish Swift, I tried something a little different—I controlled my entire slide deck using just my voice.
No clicker. Just speaking naturally.
I wrote up how it worked, including the setup with my app Action Phrase, an iPhone, ESP32, and Keynote running on an iPad mini:

Was just walking by the Amazon booth and saw MixEffect and its Video Follows Audio (VFA) feature powering the camera switching in Amazon’s podcast room at NAB in Vegas!
On my way to Chicago for Deep Dish Swift 2026. Traveling like Jack Reacher again with absolutely no luggage. Excited to present my talk on the long game of indie development.

Deep Dish Swift 2026 is just days away. I'm finishing up my presentation talk and am all packed up. Once again, I'll be doing it Jack Reacher style with just the clothes on my back and everything in my pockets. Three stops, zero bags:
