I'm a bit of an eclectic mess ๐Ÿ™‚ I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

Iโ€™ve been having a lot of health problems recently which make it difficult to do development work, on both client or personal apps. My last client who provided occasional work has just dropped me. I canโ€™t really take on any big client work due to my health. I am screwed unless I can sell a lot more of my own apps. Can you help me? And boost this thread?

I will reply to this post with links to some of my apps that I think some people might find useful. iOS developers should love some of them.

Welp, I got hit by yesterday's layoffs at Gusto. This was a bummer, because the app my wee team was working on was really starting to come together, and the people there are all super nice.

However, I'm gonna be fine in the end. If you are hiring for Staff-level iOS, hit me up, especially for things involving GraphQL and SwiftUI. Remote only, but I'm available immediately.

#SwiftUI so easy to do the easy things, but so much harder to do even moderately non-standard stuff ๐Ÿ˜›

Grid views only allow single selection and single deletion, if you wanted to do multiple selection and multiple deletion, have to jump through a lot more hoops and suddenly, the whole โ€œyou just update the data and the UI will update by itselfโ€ thing no longer works โ€ฆ.

Ah, the joys of coding ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Thought Iโ€™d put the new #ChatGPT plugin through its paces (Iโ€™m not linking to it, given the results, I think Iโ€™d be doing everybody a disservice linking to it โ€ฆ) and installed it. The very first Google query I had was for something coding related that I was stuck on โ€ฆ

The ChatGPT answer? Looks convincing but total BS ๐Ÿ˜›

PSA: Kids, do not rely on ChatGPT and always verify the info you receive from strangers (and ChatGPT or its ilk).

It feels a bit ghoulish to jump in on another server's closure but for those who need a new home now that mastodon.lol is shutting down, we still have plenty of room to grow on retro.pizza! We're a queer-run (but not queer-only) nerd culture instance with a small but healthy community and an admin who is very old and calloused by the Transformers Fandom Message Board Wars of the '00s.

@davemark I thought that the โ€œFast & the Furiousโ€ franchise would be in there, but I guess that doesnโ€™t have as much of a global appeal maybe? And itโ€™s interesting that half of the six are super-heroes โ€ฆ Are we all just kids who never grew up? ๐Ÿ˜›

If youโ€™re a user of a Debian-based Linux distro, and youโ€™re in the mood to help test a new Briefcase feature, Iโ€™d appreciate the help. Iโ€™ve put together a draft of a deb packaging backend, and I need feedback on whether it works, and/or meets end-user expectations for Debian/Ubuntu/etc users. https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/pull/1081

In honor of Throwback Thursday, here's my first ever pumpkin vine showing off one of its first blossoms. We weren't even serious (at first) about growing pumpkins that year! I dropped three seeds into an unprepared spot and kind of toed some dirt over them. They all sprouted and we got several pumpkins.

I saw a meme on tumblr earlier that said the best response to โ€œCan you explain this gap in your resumeโ€ is โ€œNo I signed an NDAโ€
