@codingmilf Wonderful! Go for it!

Forget my list idea. Do the game for you and your son. That is perfect! šŸ‘šŸ¼

@codingmilf Yes! Tinker, break things, make mistakes. Get frustrated, ask questions.

Here’s an app for you.

A list of five names. Use UITableViewController to display the names.

I will be here to answer questions.

Go!

@codingmilf I built my first iOS app in late 2008, into 2009. It took a while.

That app is really specialized, but tiny. No network. It’s a calculator for pharmacists. It’s still in the store and hasn’t changed much. f67.us/xj

I believe you can do this. It takes time.

@codingmilf When I learned Windows programming in C I built a tic-tac-toe app. Small app, but it taught me some stuff. f67.us/1d2

I almost gave up on learning iOS dev because interface builder frustrated me, so I built the UI in code. Eventually I got the hang of it.

@codingmilf How do you eat an elephant?

One bite at a time.

You don’t need to learn everything. Do you have an idea for something small you can build?

Start with the basics. UIViewController and UITableViewController form the basis of many of your favorite apps.

Think small for now.

@codingmilf It’s natural. Frameworks are always the toughest parts of a platform.

What about it is intimidating you at the moment?

And it loads really fast. 😃 twitter.com/gossmanster/st…

What a douchebag. t.co/lRbbO7OKT…

@rawburtkay šŸ˜‚

@OluseyiSonaiya Love the way you think. 😃

I mean, it doesn’t have to be a hojillion dollars.

I’ll happily transfer it to you for a nice donation to Planned Parenthood.

Dude. When are you going to hire me to run Twitter?

Also, why haven’t you offered me a hojillion dollars for musk DOT social? twitter.com/elonmusk/statu…

I’ll consider it a real blow to his political standing when that asshole is kicked out of Congress.

Until then, I’m not buying it. twitter.com/jonfavs/status…

@OluseyiSonaiya It would be nice if a bunch of them could get together to create a new directory, as a coop, or the like, to help distribute costs.

I am a dreamer. rob.crabapples.net/2021/12/18/pod…

@OluseyiSonaiya Then again, maybe they’re making millions or hundreds of thousands a year on these things so it doesn’t matter?

@OluseyiSonaiya Yep. I figure that’s why the leaders in the space do it.

And by leaders I mean the Overcasts and Castro’s. Even though they are tiny in the market.

I’ll bet the PocketCasts folks do the same thing.

Web services are just so freaking expensive for little shops.

@OluseyiSonaiya Thanks, Oluseyi.

If there were a way to not have that overhead.

Took a half day off to do some additional storm cleanup in the backyard.

Now to move that stack of wood to another location and get the lawn started. t.co/K4MJeW3MA…

@daverpvb That is gorgeous! Nice shot, dude!

@stellerarts Aren’t those a required part of the graduation outfit?

Shocked if it wasn’t!

Enjoy graduation! 🄳

@RebeccaSlatkin That’s a good plan.

Wife: ā€œShould we do something about this?ā€ Me: ā€œWhat?ā€ Wife: ā€œOur investmentsā€ Me. 😳 Also me: ā€œI don’t wanna know.ā€

A Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager Predicts the Future — and What He Sees Is Concerning - Sway

Really great episode of Sway. Especially if you’d like to hear a compassionate, wealthy, man share his thoughts on the direction we’re headed.

I liked it. … rob.crabapples.net/2022/05/12/a-b…
