I've spent weeks working on this big release of Please Don't Rain and it's finally out today.

I made a thread that shows the most significant changes.

Please Don't Rain showing a forecast for Rosemont, IL. The weather stats are using a more compact interface with the sections grouped nicely together. It's going to be a high of 18F and a low of 9F. Left side shows old interface and right side shows new interface.

Please Don't Rain is starting the year off with a big update!

Version 5.20 is rolling out now.

The UI of the main forecast has a fresh new look which adjusts much better to some sizes and orientations.

Glad that @joshdholtz.com is no longer making me keep this secret!

I’ll be giving an updated rendition of AI (Without the Hype), to account for how much has changed in AI since I gave the talk in…

*checks notes*

September 2025.

And of course I’ll be teaching many evergreen AI lessons as well.

📣 Speaker Announcement

The title might say "Without the Hype" but there is big hype for this speaker as he's been a huge part of this community 🎉

We're so excited that @mergesort.me will be on the Deep Dish stage this year giving us a much needed talk on AI 🙌

I think this somehow has to be the theme of your talk now 😇

It’s less than half now. See y’all there. 😉

No, but for real, @deepdishswift.com is amazing. Highly recommended as a conference, as a way to meet cool folks AND as a way to enjoy Chicago and our many pizzas (but especially deep dish).

Half of the remaining Early Bird tickets were taken yesterday!

Will you get yours today? 👀

I got a pizza slice instead 🤷‍♂️
