@sagolla oh I don’t know if I’m all that great, but if you could help with transportation and lodging, I’d be happy to be a part of things.

@collin how’s your confidence working with CGEventTaps? A macOS project I’m working on needs some help there

collin, 3 months ago

@zcs It's been a minute since I used this specifically, but I've worked with all of these C APIs and CG* a ton, so it's all very approachable looking to me.

@collin omg I had no idea you were the progenitor of this phrase! Thank you for your contributions to the culture.

@collin you haven’t! And you would do so well!!!!

@collin what's your going rate?? I've got a gem (with c extension) that I'm utterly dependent upon that is inundated with deprecations that I'd like to get modernized as much as possible.

harpaa01, 3 months ago

@collin oooh, you were the one who coined that term? That excites me!

collin, 3 months ago

@harpaa01 I am! It's an absolute Collin-ism haha.

Aaronvegh, 3 months ago

@collin i had no idea you coined this! Did you say it, or write it? The Internet would love a canonical reference. :-)

collin, 3 months ago

@Aaronvegh I posted it on Twitter years and years ago.

@Aaronvegh I also don't think I'm the first one who said most of iOS development being about turning JSON into lists, but I referring to it as the "song of my people” is definitely a Collin-ism as well haha.

@incanus @collin Argh, I googled and came up with these references just to your site, but i guess it's gone along with Twitter, huh?

No worries Collin: I BELIEVE YOU. 🙌

@Aaronvegh @incanus Maybe it's archived somewhere? If I find it, I'll take a screenshot. 100% though I am the first person to have ever said this.

Aaronvegh, 3 months ago

@collin @incanus you don't need me to tell you this, but that phrase is an absolute whaler. I'm really glad you said it!

incanus, 3 months ago

@Aaronvegh @collin +1

collin, 3 months ago

@incanus @Aaronvegh thank you! I am just now realizing that the fact I am not getting regularly hired to make these kinds of apps is a real failure of marketing 😂

Aaronvegh, 3 months ago

@collin @incanus I think the problem is more that nobody wants to make Mac-assed apps anymore. Did you hear that question on the latest ATP?

collin, 3 months ago

@Aaronvegh @incanus yes. And then I thought, this guy should be reaching out to me to help do this, but he probably doesn’t even know who I am.

Aaronvegh, 3 months ago

@collin @incanus But then you could ask @siracusa or @caseyliss or @marcoarment to put you in touch. I bet that listener would be absolutely chuffed to talk to you!

@caseyliss @Aaronvegh @incanus 🙌 what a standup individual you are!
