I most enjoy complex, time-consuming recipes as they have room for experimentation and a little room for error followed by a great feeling of satisfaction when it actually goes right. Oh, and an amazing meal.

Hey devs, you might remember the survey conducted by MacPaw last year to ascertain what marketplace (MAS, direct, third-party platforms) developers were choosing and why. It’s time to update the stats for 2017. The results were enlightening to a lot of us last time around, so I’m excited to see if things have shifted. Join in and take the survey, and share the link around!

I have a couple of podcasts (Systematic, Overtired) that I do my own editing on. To save Moises over at ESN some time, I’ve been tagging the MP3 files. Not surprisingly, I decided I wanted to automate this process.

Ok, so I promised this rundown of some of my favorite iOS apps at the end of the last “Best of 2016” post, which was weeks ago. Sorry about that. The sheer length of this list made it a bit of an overwhelming project.
