    Sadly my dad took ill just before WWDC, and died a few days later*, so I'm a bit out of the loop.

    I'm finally back home, and would welcome thinking about work for a bit.

    I don't get the impression that I missed much at dub dub. Is there anything particularly worth catching up on?

    (* dad had dementia, and was not in a great state physically or cognitively, and so his death was a paradoxical mix, both expected and unexpected, very sad and something of a release for him)

    @samdeane Sorry for your loss. I lost my dad earlier this year and I won't presume to think I know too much of what it's been like for you or any other family & loved ones, but sounds like the situation was similar.

    As for WWDC, for me it mostly boils down to: no earth-shattering changes that force spinning wheels for the next six months; and some meaningful adjustments to Liquid Glass.

    Thanks @andrewabernathy, and sorry for your loss too. I'm sure no two experiences of loss are quite the same, but likewise there must be a lot that we all share. ‘tis a big part of the human condition, after all.

    @samdeane I am sorry Sam. This is always tough. The constant little griefs beforehand and then the final loss. It is always hard.
