Read MoreAudio Upgrades
I’ve been using the same audio equipment for a few years now and initially they were exactly what I needed at the time.

Read MoreUpdated to Mojave
MacOS 10.14 was released recently and updating the operating system of your development environment can be scary. Typically, I’ll wait some time before I update to ensure I don’t lose productivity.
