WWDC has, so far, been an even better experience than last year. The videos are once again superbly polished and the content is quite exciting from a developer’s perspective. Swift async/await syntax is something I’ve been waiting for a long time. Now, what to build? #WWDC21

I don’t know if Goldman Sachs is going to make money off of it, but I think it’s going to become very popular with iPhone owners and make it even more difficult to switch away from Apple. There is a reason Apple makes all the money. They aren’t dummies.
