My new consulting engagement: you pay me $10,000 and I delete your project’s backlog while explaining that nothing of value has been lost.

Are we less concerned about defending our rights—for Jesus laid down his rights—and more concerned about joining Jesus in his mission of loving people, places, and things to life?

Internet went down in the middle of a Zoom call. Walk out of my office to find that my 4 year old daughter had filled up a plastic tub with water and foaming soap to give her toys a bath. She was using the router as a boat.

Want to see something *really cool*? 😀 Since SwiftUI views are just plain old structs, they can easily be made Codable, which means that a view hierarchy can be decoded directly from JSON! 🤯 This is backend-driven UIs in <100 lines of code. Will publish all of it very soon 🚀

Just once, I'd love to visit a company's about page and instead of seeing staged photos of employees laughing in the company kitchen, or playing ping pong, I'd like to see someone doodling absentmindedly in a 3 hour sprint retro, or scowling at their screens wearing headphones.

I’m always amazed by the disconnect between what we see in the news and the reality of the world around us. As my late friend Hans Rosling would say, we must fight the fear instinct that distorts our perspective: b-gat.es/2WvUqqp

Surreal how many folks out there hunting for things to be offended by. How about we start a "benefit of the doubt" movement? Anyone?

People were talking about when they first wrote code, and were throwing around numbers like 6 or 9. I was 30. It’s not magic. You do not need to apprentice to a wizard when you are 11.

Mariah Carey, one of the most successful artists in pop music, said in an interview that if she hears a thousand words of praise and one word of criticism, that one criticism will eliminate the thousand praises in her mind. I can relate. Can you? scottsauls.com/blog/2019/05/…

Buddha's dying words were, "Strive without ceasing." Jesus' were, "It is finished." Give me Jesus.
