I caught up with Greg Pierce, developer of Drafts for iOS and Mac, on Systematic 237 this week. It didn’t get as nerdy as you might expect from the combination of the two of us, but we covered all the fun stuff. I’ve stopped doing my own Top 3 Picks every week, which has been helpful in preventing burnout, but it’s still one of my favorite ways to get to know my guests.
