Every intern that I’ve worked with at Apple is a colleague, not folks we scapegoat when we don’t like something. Not a great look.

3 years at Apple! Feels like a lifetime... it blows my mind what I've gotten up to so far — Create ML, Xcode organizer window, Fruta sample project, and now Swift Playgrounds. So grateful to be working with and learning from such amazing folks! 😊

If anyone is looking for game engine inspiration, it turns out just updating your data every quarter second with an animation in SwiftUI can do the trick!

Reminder if you want a global singleton gameobject in Unity - create it via a [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(.BeforeSceneLoad)] method!!
