In this video, I share my experience using the Leica Q2 over the past few months and try to decide whether I should keep it or sell it. The Leica Q2 is an incredible camera with a lens that produces stunning images, but it’s not without its quirks.

I needed a little mental break from Sofa work, so I made a video about my experience of renting a Leica Q2 for a week. Overall, the camera isn’t for me, but I’m glad I had time with it. It clarified what I value in the cameras I use.
Sofa 4.0 is coming along very nicely and I'll be sharing updates soon!

Adding analytics to your app can seem like a simple and obvious thing to do, but once you get into it, it can be a little confusing.
In my video this week I share an easy framework I follow that makes analytics more useful. I also share some of the dangers of analytics and things you should be careful of.

I put together my initial thoughts on the new iPhone 15 & 15 pro.
- New cameras are awesome
- USB-C isn’t a big deal
- More iCloud storage! Yay!

Threads has been a lot of fun so far and it’s made something “click” for me with how I want to use social media going forward.
Spoiler: I just want social media to be fun 🕺

If you’re an iOS or Mac developer, you may be asking yourself if you should spend time building for visionOS and Vision Pro.
While I can’t tell you want to do, I wanted to share how I’m thinking about this for myself and Sofa.
