SuperConf 2013

The wonder folks at SuperConf asked me to come to warm Miami and give a talk. I decided to talk about Building Realtime Applications.
Here are the links for everything I talked about:
Mac App Store

Cheddar for Mac recently came out. A few days in, Apple featured it as New and Noteworthy! Here's the numbers:
For the iOS App Store, these would be terrible. Getting New and Noteworthy on the iOS App Store means at least tens of thousands of downloads per day. The Mac App Store is much more sparse.
Ship It

One of my favorite quotes:
Real artists ship. — Steve Jobs
Today I shipped Cheddar for Mac. I'm not happy with it. I actually really hate it. It lacks all of the polish and details that Cheddar for iOS has.
Founders Talk - Part 3

Adam Stacoviak was kind enough to have me on Founders Talk for a third time! I'm super honored that he wanted to do a part 3.
From Adam:
Core take away? Embrace risk. Stay focused.

This is a story about the last 3 months of my life.
So my work history is pretty hilarious. If I was in any other industry, you'd think I was a deadbeat that can't hold down a job. It's slightly different for engineers in San Francisco, but that doesn't change the fact that I change jobs a decent amount.
Anyway, I was doing Nothing Magical for awhile. It was amazing. I was bootstrapping a company all by myself off of my savings. It turns out when your rent is $3,200, cash goes pretty quickly. (I now live in a much cheaper place, but more on that later.) Anyway, I ran out of money. I had the option to pursue freelance to support myself and not get a day job.
