We started less than a year ago with no team. I couldn't be more proud for how far we've come.
Stay tuned for TONS more features in upcoming app updates.

Today was my last day at GitHub.
I've had the time of my life starting & shipping the mobile app, helping the Desktop & CLI apps, and recently overseeing even more amazing people.
I'm forever grateful for the opportunity and I'm excited to see the teams continue to crush it.

Love reading posts about navigation in iOS: coordinators, routers, presenters, and more. Some of these ideas are so cool!
Then I remember we reached hundreds of millions of users with just -pushViewController:animated:

Some news! Today is my last day at Instagram. The last 4.5 years have been magical. Saying goodbye this week reminded me how amazing the people are, and just how many lives I’ve touched.

Keynote is probably my most powerful tool. In one app, I can:
- Make presentations (duh)
- Animate logos
- Prototype UI and interact with it
- Create systems diagrams
- Wireframe new UIs
Seriously, I love Keynote.

There’s something so powerful about a team that trusts each other enough to give tons of direct feedback. No being vague, no delay, no emotions. Just cut to the chase and make each other’s work even better. It’s liberating.

So this is a legit way to manually expand UIRefreshControl when using large title nav bars... W/out this it doesn't expand unless you physically scroll.
