Federico Being Between Seasons
I implore you to read this beautiful essay Federico posted to MacStories today:
It’s my last day at Apple Park for my seventh in-person WWDC, and as I’m waiting for my final briefing just outside the Steve Jobs Theater – ever so magnificent in its polish, and yet always so strangely calm a place – I keep returning to a thought that’s been circling my head, begging for attention. I’ve never felt so “in between” phases of my career. Physically in this very moment, of course, as I’m literally sitting on an also-polished wooden bench overlooking one side of the ring, watching groups of people climb the hill to the theater and others leave. But more so mentally, insofar as I don’t recall another WWDC that’s made me feel so aware of how much things are changing around me.
I thoroughly empathise with the feelings Federico was going through, as I was having some similar reflections sitting in the very same place he was on Tuesday. The image featured in this post was taken by me outside of the Steve Jobs Theatre, having a moment of reflection on how this year felt like an inflection point for me.
