@amcvittie you’ve sent me down a rabbit hole of green Chartreuse recipe peeping. Fascinating!

I find something profound in recursive descent parsing, both the idea of it and the coding of it. For me it's one of the more beautiful things in mathematics, let alone computing.

After more than 11 years, today is my last day at Apple.

It’s been a privilege to be able to say I’ve worked my dream job, helping create SwiftUI and getting to support an incredible team of engineers and friends.

I’m excited for what’s next for me (stay tuned!), but today I’m focused on how deeply grateful I am to everyone at Apple that I’ve worked with and learned from over the years. It’s a truly amazing place full of astoundingly talented but also genuinely wonderful people.

@superbetsy rain, then more rain. We spent the week in Seattle.

Watching the central IA weather where Dad and my brother got 10 inches before the wind came up.

@kylebshr @chris The subviews are fully resolved before being extracted by the Group, so the environment is baked in. You’d need to apply separate environments values to the Items before they’re passed to the container, or otherwise adjust the interface of container.

This talk by Steven Peterson on SwiftUI performance is _so good_! Steven brings real world experience from making Apple's apps fast and shares how you can do the same in your apps.
