More Goodness in Ferrite for iOS
by
I read this and yes I’ll be purchasing the update to Ferrite. The only reason I haven’t is that I run my business on Profit First and it’s not pay day so I don’t have expenses in my expense account. That means on Sept 25th I’ll make the purchase. Unfortunately, I still don’t see the…

I Hate Twitter Threads and They Produce Little Value

There are so many awesome Twitter threads out there. This one on making sure your work isn’t devalued during review time…solid gold. Unfortunately for the…
