Podcast now sponsored by Runway.
360iDev has been an enjoyable experience thus far. I still have the final day of the conference ahead of me when I record this. But I must say, it is awesome seeing so many familiar faces. The weird thing is, I'm seeing most of them for the very first time in real life. Special shoutout to Josh, Azam, Mikaela and Leo. It is great to be able to meet you, for real finally. What I also noticed is how different the conferences are. I've been to AppDevCon, SwiftHeroes, Techorama.be and 360iDev this year and each had a totally different vibe. And each had its own strengths. Experiencing these conferences reaffirmed my resolve to push for another edition of the Do iOS conference in November. I got the first offer letter from a venue and am awaiting a second to ensure I get a good deal on the whole thing. A fun thing to know about organizing an event, the room is a small line item compared to the catering. Once I have the venue booked it is time to do some final number crunching and decide on a ticket price. It will probably be a lot lower than you might expect, which makes me super happy.

This episode I am talking to David Barnhard from the SubClub podcast.
Interviewing a fellow podcaster is always a blast. Not much audio cleanup todo once done.
David runs the SubClub podcast for RevenueCat. I reached out to David months ago and only just now did we get to a recording session. So this was set in motion long before the sponsorship a few weeks ago became a thing.
Make sure to check David's app business called Contrast as well.

Two weeks since my previous episode. I had my reasons. My family and I went on a trip visiting family in Luxemburg. We slept over monday till friday and I was just not able to record an episode.
Of those two weeks the first one was quite warm in the Netherlands. We actually had the first heatwave in the Netherlands this year. year. Nothing too terrible temperature wise, but the related drought is no fun. Again not as bad as other parts of the world, but it is noticable everywhere you go. Also, upstairs, where I record my podcast episodes is not a fun place to be with these temperatures.
As mentioned, the second week was family time, which was a really fun time. I got to spend the entire week with my family with dedicated attention without having work in he back of my mind too much.
Not thinking about work is hard right now. Only a few days from now I am travelling to Denver to visit 360iDev. I still want to do a lot of checks on my slides and presentation. I am going to be representing Stream there, so… No pressure, right?
Considering my travel plans for the next week, I am unsure how/when I will be able to do episode 89. I actually might do something with my DJI Mic while I am in the US. It sounds like a great opportunity to do some fun recordings that are immediatly usable for my podcast. Who knows. Keep an eye on my feed and you will not miss a thing.

Right after my vacation it was heads down mode again. At my work, we had a sort of restructuring of the group I am a part of. And this meant a lot of things have changed in how my day to day looks. I now lead developer experience at Stream within Developer Relations. This involved setting up a lot of project related things. From Developer Experience we work very closely with developer advocacy and because of this we chose to set up a shared task board. This way we can easily hand over work or share the workload for specific tasks.
I already had a lot of podcast work I needed to do last week, so I couldn’t fit a recording session for my regular episode. But, I do have a really cool special episode I did with Josh Holtz from RevenueCat. Keep an eye out for that one later this week. If all goes well, it should be done soon. For reasons I am not sharing yet, I put in some extra effort to the RevenueCat episode. I hope it will be an inspiring episode.
