Just got my hands on “Make Something Wonderful: Steve Jobs in his own words” by the Steve Jobs Archive and LoveFrom!
Super happy to have a physical copy, even though you can read it online or download it for free on Apple Books.

Apple has officially confirmed that third-party feed subscriptions have been removed in Swift Playground 4.6. To adapt to this change, I’ve redesigned my Playgrounds page! Save them in the iCloud folder. 😉

Matt Patenaude (manager for the Swift Playground app at Apple) casually mentioned that the app has one fewer letter in its name.

Hello Developer - December 2024 Edition is out.
They called out a redesign of the documentation site. I've noticed that lot of new sections has this new look. I wonder if it is rolling out for all docs.
Also, kudos to whoever made those graphics 🤩

I'm surprised how many people see screenshots of my terminal settings and want something similar. I have five simple steps for anyone who wants to upgrade their default macOS terminal settings. In just a couple of minutes, you can have a clean setup with a useful git prompt and pleasant colors.
