I finally had time to write an article, so I just published a post about #SwiftUI text modifiers: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/TextModifiersInSwiftUI

The post describes how text modifiers are different from view modifiers in SwiftUI and how we can use them to style portions of text with text interpolation and concatenation.

Pulse 3 is out. It's the biggest release yet, by far. https://kean.blog/post/pulse-3

The next time you hear Republicans in Congress complain about increased IRS funding, remember that the richest 1 percent of Americans evade $163 billion in taxes each year. That’s who the GOP is protecting.

There is no “justice” system.

Today, Trump Org CFO Weisselberg is being sentenced to five months jail.

On a five month sentence, he'll serve approximately 100 days.

As a public defender in Manhattan, I represented a man who was sentenced to 3-6 years (and will serve 1500+ days) for stealing a jacket.

My first story of 2023 for my Forbes column is about something so last year: it’s my review of the Apple Watch Ultra. It’s Apple’s best smartwatch to date, and no, you don’t have to be into extreme sports to appreciate it. The big screen truly is the best.

I'm only one person here, so trying to clear the backlog of content as we open the new year. I hope you'll bear with me.

It's probably more the constant alarms of pending calamity rather than the rain itself, but it's been a rough week or so with these storms rolling through the Bay Area. Feeling pretty down in general.

I’ve been writing about the right wing’s efforts for an #ArticleV convention for years. But this is the clearest description of what the #right plans to do. #Koch #libertarian #UtopianNightmare

Just an incredible essay https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/08/opinion/grant-wahl-celine-gounder-vaccine.html

I like how this one was a secret until you try and submit your new password. Keeps things exciting.

#GhostSign submission from a Twitter follower. At the Cliff House, the recent #SFBA storms have torn off the Camera Obscura's novelty architecture facade, revealing the original signage beneath. This might be the first time it's been visible since 1957!

If it’s the people’s house @cspan should always be allowed to have free in Congress run so we can all see what’s going on, on the floor.

Hi Again – our team at Apple has *another* opening for an iOS Software Engineering Manager. The job is in the Santa Clara Valley. We do work from home a couple days a week, but this requires in-person office time. We develop the Health software features of the iPhone, Apple Watch, and other products. Our work is challenging, engaging, and meaningful. Your work will save lives. Join me!

It was a delight to hear @gruber and @glennf talk about iCloud Keychain on the latest The Talk Show. Glenn mentioned a really cool trick I want to repeat: in Safari, if you right-click or tap-and-hold on a TOTP setup QR code, you’ll get an option to set up a code generator. :)

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this random soapbox.

It took me five years of syncing without tests to realize that I needed them.

Who knows, I might disagree with myself in another five years, but for now, I love testing, and you should too.

If you’re an independent developer, you likely don’t have a ten person team dedicated to testing your app for eight hours a day.

Even if you’re at a big company, there’s a good chance you have zero manual QA resources.

Automated tests are your only hope for quality.
