@sommer asking the questions everyone else wants to, but are afraid to.
Being “unafraid to look ‘stupid’” is an under-estimated leadership skill.

“No other branch of civil engineering tolerates this level of system failure. In any other field, if engineers knew that systems would fail catastrophically about 30 times this year and knew when, where, and why that was most likely to happen, they would be required to intervene or shut everything down. And if they didn't, there would be serious professional consequences: firing, fines, loss of license, and, depending on how egregious the infraction, criminal penalties” https://sf.streetsblog.org/2024/03/27/guest-commentary-traffic-engineers-must-put-safety-over-driver-throughput
Having been fortunate enough to experience in-person WWDC’s in a variety of formats, I’ll say that the current, one day version may actually be my favorite. It is a condensed, beautiful expression of being part of this developer community I cherish. And Apple Park itself is a really inspiring origin from which to embark on the long adventure of summer work adopting the new APIs.
If you can, I’d highly recommend putting your name in the lottery for a ticket: https://developer.apple.com/wwdc24/special-event/
Also: WWDC23 sessions are on YouTube now. Find your session videos where you want to watch ‘em: in the Developer app, on the Apple Developer website, or on YT!
As part of today's WWDC announcement, we also announced videos will be on YouTube. Smash that subscribe button. ;-)
Cori Bush is calling for a repeal of the Comstock Act, which is good and right, although Barney Frank tried to so do for years and years beforehand. But the Democratic leadership brushed it off. "It's a zombie law," they said, "Nobody enforces it." And here we are and Republicans are salivating to use it to ban abortion nationwide.
It's like a parable of our politics.
Glass Cliff: Boeing hires Stephanie Pope to clean up its mess. When things are going well, men get to lead, then when the men screw it up, a woman is put onto a precarious glass cliff.

MAGAs are labeling DEI as "Didn't Earn It," which is wild because in reality, generating historic wealth through 2 billion acres of stolen land from Native Americans, enslaving Black people for 300 years, banning Asian immigration until 1965, & banning women from financial access til 1974 — all without paying a single red cent in reparations or restitution — is the living breathing example not earning it.
@_Davidsmith Is there a “count up” widget in Widgetsmith? I’ve looked and can’t find one, but maybe I’m not looking in the right place/under the right name or not realizing that I can customize an existing widget with a different name to do what I want. What I want is like a “number of days since the last workplace accident” sign that keeps counting up automatically until I say “whoops” and reset it to 0.
"Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”
and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”
and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay."

“There is no cavalry coming. No miracle solution. No saviors.
In the end, we, the American people - not any of our institutions - have to save our democracy by voting in defense of that democracy this fall.
We are the cavalry. The responsibility is ours.”

But that struggle also outlines an important fact about car-free urban areas—that once cities make the decision to reduce or remove cars, they rarely go back. No one I spoke to for this piece could name a recent sizable pedestrianization or traffic-reduction scheme that had been reversed once it had been given time to have an effect.
