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 like to give people money and have always tipped a minimum of 20% for food service workers when given the opportunity. I did that in MA and I do that now in WA. It would seem that I’m being equitable because I don’t factor in tip credits. But if that were really the case I would be tipping 30% in MA. It turns out that I actually only care about being generous within the bounds of social norms.
There are seven states—including California, Oregon, and Washington—where employers must pay the full minimum wage regardless of tips. Does that make you feel differently about tipping? I am a generous tipper, but I grew up in a state that allowed tip credits, and now I live in the city with the highest minimum wage in the country and no tip credits.

@teotwaki I don't care about them, I care about me. And I need a hype man.
@teotwaki No! I need music to gas me up and no one makes that anymore. The kids are wrong and I will fight them and win because I can get a better pump to 0 to 100 than they can to Lil Xanax Baby.
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’.
@JustMeDevin the jig is up, Davies
@mergesort @thillsman The country. Claude is helping me file a petition right now.
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.
@hal he was under a lot of stress trying to balance the budget (impossible)
