So @crim_codes and I started a podcast. It's called "Josh and Austin Figure It Out." Lots of technical; some career and life talk. Available where you find podcasts. Fun fact: we met on Twitter, but our families have known each other for like 50 years...?

Vague criticism is the easiest and most worthless type of commentary. “X thing is stupid” “No one should use X thing” “X thing is broken” This is just noise. Being specific helps everyone. After hearing @calebporzio talk about this, I can’t stop seeing it.

Underrated @raycastapp feature: uninstalling apps and actually cleaning up library/app support files. Feels clean every time.

Fired up my super fast GitHub client that I was working on last year and, wow, I was shocked again that this experience is possible. Local data makes all the difference!
