AsyncCombine: Because Async Code Shouldn’t Be Ugly
I brought back Combine’s sink, assign, and CombineLatest - but built powered by Swift Concurrency.
Observing @Observable from another ViewModel shouldn’t be painful.

AsyncCombine: Because Async Code Shouldn’t Be Ugly
When Swift first introduced Combine, I loved it. The syntax was expressive, pipelines were easy to follow, and @Published made state changes feel almost magical. But as Apple pushed us toward Swift Co...

How to Stub URLSession Responses… or Die Trying
The internet is filled to the brim with the gravestones of attempts to stub URLSession responses. As something of a strange holdover from the Objective-C days, URLSession is notoriously hard to…

The one where I get tired of existing GIF optimizers and make my own

High quality, low filesize GIFs
While the GIF format is a little on the older side, it’s still a really handy format in 2025 for sharing short clips where an actual video file might have some compatibility issues.
For instance, I find when you just want a short little video on your website, a GIF is still so handy versus a video, where some browsers will refuse to autoplay them, or seem like they’ll autoplay them fine until Low Battery Mode is activated, etc. With GIFs it’s just… easy, and sometimes easy is nice. They’re super handy for showing a screen recording of a cool feature in your app, for instance.

build it dumb and then build it smart.
that is, build it to get it working. learn where the edges are. learn what the problems will be. do it quick and dirty.
then throw it all out and build it again, with the knowledge you've gained. it will always be better when you have experience to draw on.

gifwrapped might not support twitter anymore, but the resulting improvements i made to its search architecture live on: a simple API, contained insanity, and just a touch of 'why the heck would you do that?'

honey, new chatGPT models just dropped. one is small, the other is small and on the good drugs.

i rebuilt gifwrapped's search architecture a while back (as in a couple years ago), and now i've also written a thing about writing the thing. have a read!

spent time today fixing a bug and *greatly* improving the docs/examples for AnyCodable. examples should be way, way, way better now, because i've pulled 'em directly from stuff i'm actually using this library for

I've been planning on making a few open source projects from code i use within my own stuff, like @GIFwrapped, starting with one i call 'AnyCodable' that is for working with loosely-structured data
