Hey @tcm. Your app on Apple TV hasn't been updated in over two years and is does not work at all. Please fix!
Adam Tow (@atow) is an incredible developer, photographer, and live stream producer. The entire band appreciates how well he captures LIVE near WWDC each year.
This year Adam also produced our live stream. His post walks through all the technical details.
Thank you Adam!

The Swift website repo now has a new home under the new @SwiftLang GitHub organization.
We're always looking for new contributors to help make Swift.org even better. Come on in—don't be shy! 🐦

It’s disappointing that side-by-side diffs have not made it back to Xcode’s source control views.
It bums me out that the user experience of GitHub on the web is more flexible than the native IDE, especially since the side-by-side diffs used to be there in Xcode.

Thank you for the awesome @omt_conf badge @dvrzan!
Complete with a ukulele, this may be my favorite conference badge ever!
Come and join us at @omt_conf today and if we didn't print your badge you might even get one of these unique limited edition badges with your name on it! 🎨

It was wonderful to have you back on stage with us @settern!
And I’m so glad you were able to give the Swift-ulele its debut!
It’s been a minute (or, uh… a pandemic), but had so much fun jumping in once more with @jamesdempsey and the Breakpoints. Bandmate friendships are truly the best kind of futureproof. 🧡

Join me tomorrow at 1:30 pm for the Week In Review at One More Thing!
It's a lighthearted look back at WWDC24 in a talk that combines humor, music, and perspective.
And of course, the yearly Week In Review song as well.
The one and only @jamesdempsey wrote a song for us!
Come celebrate with us @omt_conf FRIDAY, recapping WWDC Week. Join us at 1:30pm.
Yes, there's parking. Yes, there's space for you. Yes, we'd love to have you. #WWDC24

Swift is starting an exciting new chapter with its own, dedicated GitHub organization. This move will help Swift expand to more platforms and new use cases. swift.org/blog/swiftlang-git…
I’m doing two things this year at #WWDC24:
Wed: LIVE near WWDC Concert
Fri: Week In Review—closing session at One More Thing
I hope you can join me for one or the other (or both!) for some nerdy fun!
