Software Developer, Louisiana native, introverted musician, and proud dad.

I work on the LA Wallet team @ Envoc.

In my free time I have a dev blog, run the Louisiana Historical Markers app, record/release music (under various pseudonyms), and start side projects I know Iโ€™ll never finish.

Just let the #AI of EAP6 of #JetBrainsRider 2023.2 generate the commit message for me for the first time. It was perfect on first try, I couldn't have written a better one. And even if I could have, I probably never would have.

The only critique I might have is that it didn't respect the maximum line length for commit message (hence the squiggly underlines).

Not a bad place to ride, even in the heat!

I have a fun idea to commission some of the artists who did Apollo icons to create some really cool final Apollo wallpapers to remember the app by. Is this something you'd pay a few bucks for, where the proceeds would go toward Apollo's refund fees?

I've found myself in lots of discussions lately around what to do now that #XamarinForms has a hard EOL deadline. Curious to know: what is the broader #MobileDev community using for writing #iOS and #Android apps?

There are tons of choices, so I'm interested to know what your teams are using and why (especially if you picked "other").

Boosts appreciated! ๐Ÿš€

Native - double the work is worth it
44.9%
MAUI - it's not as bad as everyone says
21.7%
ReactNative - web devs can be mobile devs too
11.6%
Other - it's easy, just use...

@riverrat My main thing is -- mobile is different. Web devs do not magically become movile devs because of React Native. .NET devs do not magically become mobile devs because of MAUI. And TBH, Flutter devs do not become Desktop developers because of Flutter.

Additionally, iOS and Android are different enough that even if you have a few devs that "know" both, encourage people to specialize if you do native. Their lives will be better and you'll get better products as a result.

It's that time of year again - I'm gearing up to talk at this year's SQL Saturday Baton Rouge on July 29th. If you're planning on attending and have an interest in developing/deploying cloud native applications without the steep learning curve of Kubernetes, come check out my talk on Azure Container Apps!

I want to expand more on the comedy of errors that led to the eviction of #Twitter from their Boulder, Colorado office.

The story that leads up to this building even existing is bizarre and hilarious, so here goes...
