Working from home is nice but I prefer having somewhere to go and do work. I love being at home, but I don't love being at home all the time. For me, my home is where I can relax and do what I want. Having work tangled up in that all the time isn't great for me. Sometimes a couple of WFH days are great, but full-time WFH just isn't for me.

Side projects are a way to study and learn. If some of these projects generate revenue, great. If not, it's a learning investment. I'd say side projects are _especially_ good when you own a business because you can carve out time in your regular schedule to work on the project (and study which you probably should do regularly anyway)

Not much of a stack since I work on apps but I use Swift and for personal stuff I really enjoy SwiftUI.

I love using Bear for taking notes. Mostly because I can tag notes so they appear in multiple categories and because of its markdown support.

I noticed that there aren't a lot of modern, up to date books on Apple's Core Data framework out there right now so I figured I'd write one of my own. The book focusses on using Core Data in modern applications and comes with code sample for UIKit and SwiftUI. My goal is to introduce more people to the Core Data framework and help them integrating it in their apps properly.

I used Camo to deliver a remote conference talk yesterday and it works amazingly well. Good job, team! I loved how much control I had over zoom, cropping, hue, ISO and really any camera setting you can think of.

I started writing a new series of blog posts about Combine in January this year and decided that I wanted to expand this series into a whole book of its own. So that's what I did! The book has 11 chapters that teach you everything you need to know to use Apple's Combine framework in your code.

Had a great laugh with this one!
