Soup?
Thanks for all of the kind words in the feedback form! I appreciate the welcoming back. I wrote a blog post that was sponsored by a company. I'd appreciate it if you checked it out and let me know what you think!
Unrelated, just this morning I got a phishing email on my work email. I ran through it on a virtual machine just to see where it went (I know VMs aren't 100% secure, but it's good enough) and it ended up (anti-climatically) on a very poorly replicated Outlook sign in page. The password wasn't even **** when I typed in that field! Very strange, because the email itself was pretty decent.
In other news, if you're an iOS or Dart/Flutter developer and would be willing to give me some advice on a project, please let me know by replying to this email.
Anyway, here's the issue.
