I am a polite software developer and I am always committed to the bit. I will be your favorite app maker’s favorite app maker.

I am enamored by user-facing software, especially mobile, and especially iOS. Swift is my current weapon of choice but I will use any made-up word to solve any problem. I ship my side projects for free.

I run this single-user Mastodon instance in good faith and I intend to keep it that way.

I am decidedly out of my sad girl pop era. Long live and good riddance Phoebe Bridgers. We’re throwing around heavy weight to Get Rich or Die Tryin’.

What if it turns out that winning an Apple Design Award is like being on Forbes 30 Under 30? Which is to say, a condemnation by God.

“They’re replacing Alan Dye with Sebastiaan de With! Our long Liquid Glass nightmare is over!”

Little did they know, their filing-cabinet-condom nightmare was just beginning.

@kyle The filing cabinet condoms seem pretty attainable

Finally, and worst of all, he kept the company’s Apple Design Award.

I have to be honest: I was always envious of the life Sebastiaan appeared to lead. Now even moreso.

He is also accused of convincing the company to rent a $5,400/mo office in Santa Cruz, where he used 90% of the space for personal purposes. There was a bedroom, large amounts of alcohol, a filing cabinet containing condoms and hallucinogenic drugs, and his motorcycle. He registered his own personal business to the address and did no company work from there.

During the investigation he is accused of consistently lying, as well as tampering with and destroying evidence.

Some of the accusations against Sebastian de With:

Using the corporate credit card to spend $30-75K on personal expenses such as…

- Booking personal airfare and accruing airline status, including a “babymoon” to French Polynesia, marriage proposal in Hawaii, and global travel to retrieve motorcycles.
- Booking multi-week hotel stays near where he lives in San Jose.
- Hiring a contractor to redesign his personal website (😱).
- Buying shoes.

App developers don’t understand gossip! When a lawsuit is filed you can find all of the specific claims. This is gold.

Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Alex Karp won't see your posts about them, but your friends whose bodies convulse when they talk like their skeleton is trying to escape through their skin will, and now they feel called out.
