8 day streak on @750words. Feels great to be writing daily again.
Never under-estimate the simplicity of a problem. Fixed a Rails 5 upgrade by updating the web-console gem to the latest version.
iOS 11 looks great with the new Files app. Not enough changes though for me to use an iPad Pro for programming. Maybe iOS 12?
WWDC17
Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference kicks off today.
I wouldn't call myself a fan-boy but I definitely have a preference for Apple products. I am interested in seeing the release of a new iPad Pro. Sadly I don't think there's going to be any new iMacs released.
Expect an explosion of Apple related news and tweets later on today.

Is it a typo? Probably. As a result of a long line of gaffs and poorly worded tweets by Donald Trump though, it is hard to take him seriously. And for as long as he has free access to his own account then that isn't likely to change soon.
Smarter money, smarter spending
I've had pre-paid cards in the past but the app that accompanies the Monzo card should provide better insight into spending habits and make me think twice about my spending habits.
Who do I know that’s been writing frequently on Medium?
