So proud of what Sven and I built so far with SPI, and I'm happy to say I'll be joining Apple to continue working on everything related to Swift packages! 🥂

📝 Modern design loves visual consistency. But a suite where everything matches is a suite where nothing is exceptional.

Consistent icons ≠ iconic icons.

Give me a consistency of excellence any day over a consistency of visuals.

The Profiling Tools Team @ Apple is hiring! Our team gets to work across the entire software stack to create great profiling experiences for all of Apple's platforms. There is a lot to like about working on developer tools; I really enjoy the huge variety of technologies and people I get to work with to help make Instruments better every year!
