Tomorrow, we’re releasing the Pocket 8 GM to TestFlight beta.

It’s been two years and some days since we did the incredibly dangerous thing of setting our 13 year-old ObjC codebase on fire and starting over from scratch with Swift, SwiftUI, and a brand new squad of iOS engineers.

To say that it’s been a wild ride would be an understatement: I could write a book on lessons learned as a manager.

But mostly I am just insanely proud of the engineers. They worked so hard to make this happen. 🥰

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
