It’s official, I’ve left Apple. This is the kind of news that warrants its own post, but right now it means two things. First, I no longer have a “friends and family” discount on most Apple products, which means that my number of friends has decreased by a lot. More importantly, it means that I can share code with the rest of the world, so I did just that.

Keeping on keeping my dependencies up to date
A little under two years ago, I wrote about a command line tool that I created to check that the dependencies in a swift package were up to date. It was mainly a pretext to learn the new (at the time) asynchronous stuff in Swift. This post is a followup about dusting a side project for no good reason.
My command line toolbet
I have decided that 2024 would be the year of… tracking stuff. Last year, I made a point at work of keeping a semi up to date Obsidian vault with a lot of notes, links and context for the things I’ve been working on, the people I interacted with and the projects I ran into. Unsurprisingly, it turned extremely useful after a holiday or when switching back to an old project. That’s why this year, I want to do more of that: track the book I’ve read, the movies and TV shows I’ve watched, and the developer tools I’ve been using. Since I’ve also committed to write more often on this blog, I’ve decided to water two plants with one hose and list them here. I, for one, look forward to searching the name of “that one weird tool to transform JSON” in a few months.
2023 in review
2023 was a bit of a shit year for me. I’ve tried to keep most of my personal life out of this blog, so I won’t go into details. That being said, if I’m going to review this past year, it should be mentioned that a bunch of events took a huge toll on my mental health. With that out of the way, let’s review some parts of 2023, in no particular order.
New Landing Page
I’ve put together a landing page on romain-pouclet.com with all my links. Many thanks to Camille for the picture.
