Having a major imposter syndrome weekend.
I feel like I need to make a case for something, but I feel it’ll be an issue from the start.
This is one of those times where I just wish I could retire.

I may be looking for a new gig at the beginning of July. Haven’t got my renewal yet. Not unusual.
So if you know anyone looking for an accomplished Apple ecosystem engineer with a bunch of SwiftUI experience on Mac over the last couple of years (and iOS forever before that) hit me up.

If we make it to November 2026 without resignation, 25th amendment, or a soft or hard coup, there will only be one issue on the ballot: take both houses and immediately impeach both of them, and inaugurate President Jeffries and Vice President Booker. I do not see a soft landing or graceful exit.

I used to rely on the controlActiveState environment value to check whether a macOS window is focused in #SwiftUI, but it's deprecated since macOS 15. The replacement is the appearsActive value, which is true when the window is focused and false when it's not: nilcoalescing.com/blog/DetectF...
