Wow, a smartphone is really useful.
~ Me, the mobile dev who owned a flip phone until last week
Btw, it's not an iPhone, because fuck Apple's overpriced walled garden.
Honestly, none of the devices I own nowadays are Apple.
I had to crowdfund for a Macbook to push shit to the app store, and the damn machine broke twice on me within a year.
In 2015, I started teaching myself how to code.
In 2016, I got accepted to a tech bootcamp. They had space for me in the iOS cohort, so I was, like, "Sweet!" even though I had been focused on web up until that point.
I spent the next few years learning how to be annoyed with Apple.
I actually like Swift, but I wish I could use it on non-Apple hardware, for non-iOS things.
Anyway, I was broke until a few months ago, which is why I got my first cell phone in 2010 & first smartphone in 2019.
