A Decade of WWDC
From the first keynote in 2009 to watching from a Southwest flight in 2019. A decade of WWDC, told through tweets.
2009 #
I’m excited to go to WWDC next week. This might be the most relevant conference I’ve ever attended
The #mellmo crew is getting ready for #wwdc. Looking forward to mac geekery in the day, drinks at night.
One hour before heading to the Airport - bound for SF. WWDC, here’ we come.
Sitting in the keynote with the #mellmo crew at #wwdc. To be honest, this is pretty damn cool. My first keynote.
These sessions are interesting, but I’m down to 32% on my battery, with no plug in site. I might crash without a mild distraction. :-/ #wwdc
Oh snap! RoamBi! Mellmo proudly representing at #wwdc this year!
WWDC has been great, lots of awesome things going on. And today @RoamBi is featured on the app store.
I feel like I should just get on stage. #wwdc
Wwdc is over. Sitting on a plane headed back San Diego. Going to be a relaxing weekend.
Weird to be back in the office after WWDC. Trying to keep the inspiration levels as high as they were at the conference. I had a great week!
That was one of the more depressing dev meetings we’ve had. Most of the post WWDC motivation I had has been unraveled.

Anyone know the Apple engineer responsible for MPMoviePlayerController? I owe him a swift kick in the ass at WWDC this year for this one!!!!
Looks like the WWDC tweeds have started, I’ll jump on the bandwagon. Leaving SD shortly, be in SF this afternoon. #wwdc
Roambi logo pretty prominent on the WWDC banner. At the top, by the white ’e'
This year, #wwdc has been like a big confirmation. I love when presenters teach stuff I’ve figured out myself. I’ve learned tons in 2 years.

So, it looks like WWDC conflicts with existing travel plans this year. Super bummed. :(
Hope everyone is having fun at WWDC. While I’m bummed I’m missing out, spending time in Paris with my fianceé is a pretty great alternative.
I think some of my ignorance stems from missing WWDC this year - maybe I need to go back and watch a few sessions.

Despite a small debacle, WWDC ticket has been acquired.
People seem to be allergic to recaps, at least shut your fucking mouth on the way out the door! #wwdc

Also this year: WWDC Blast — we built a Twilio-powered SMS alert service for WWDC ticket sales. The full saga lives over there.
WWDC this year is a handful of mixed emotions. Upside: First year attending WWDC as an indie! Downside: Leaving my 3 week old daughter.
And the WWDC tweets begin. Just landed at SFO.
#WWDC folks: if you see me - say hi! I’m not always great at recognizing people from their Twitter avatars.
#wwdc protip, don’t leave sessions en masse minutes before sessions are over. It’s fucking rude.
I’ve pretty much lived in Presidio this #WWDC – definitely way more than WWDC’s past.
This is probably the best Friday at WWDC there has ever been. Densely packed with great session. Regretting my Friday flight.

Just realized that my plane tickets for WWDC were book round trip BACKWARDS! This fucking idiot right here booked tickets from SFO->SAN.
Drinking a beer alone at the airport. I miss all my usual WWDC travel pals 😔. @n8gray @alexcschaefer
WWDC protip, don’t watch sad shit in the airport bar that makes you cry.
San Francisco, I am here. Let’s do some WWDCin'
Hey! @Roambi in the WWDC keynote!
Haha, just woke up from a dream where they announced a new language at WWDC. It was so wild.
So, who else is strongly considering skipping out on the WWDC parties to play with all this awesome new stuff?
Hanging out with @alexcschaefer at #WWDC. Miss the rest of the old Mellmo folks. sniff @n8gray @brettcallaghan @jordanrounds @UIResponder

No WWDC email - I suspect this is a bad sign.
So, everything is all confirned…WWDC ‘15, here I come!
“Fuck a schedule.” - WWDC ‘15
Overflow lounges at WWDC are an awesome reprieve from the hustle and bustle, without missing content.
I’d like the between session, kaleidoscope animation thingy from WWDC as a screen saver.

For a while now, my job has pulled me out of iOS development full time. I’m looking forward to a week of Mac/iOS immersion. #WWDC2016
This new keynote venue is really throwing off all my normal traditions and expectations. #WWDC2016
More fun than the alley though. #WWDC2016
Great job dealing with a non-cooperative Xcode demo. That shit is tough … handled it like a champ. #WWDC2016
I feel safe in saying - that was the most fun, most lively WWDC concert I’ve been to in 9 years. Mosh pit? I couldn’t resist.
I’m 34, and feel like it now, but sure didn’t 20 min ago! Fuck yeah @GoodCharlotte. Seriously, first WWDC mosh pit I think.
Heading to the airport early. Been so much traveling lately, and I’m ready to hang out with the family. See ya #WWDC
2017 #
Headed to the airport for #wwdc2017. This will make 9 years of WWDC. Happy that I’ve been so fortunate to go so many times.
Just getting in line for the keynote. First time I’ve not lined up at 4am. #WWDC
OMG - giving a live demo while wearing a VR headset. That has GOT to be tough! #WWDC
Holy shit - I’ve been hacking together multi-room airplay for years. So rad. #WWDC
I forgot about one of my major WWDC pet peeves - people walking out while speaker is wrapping. Don’t be rude!
This is a pretty damn cool WWDC experience.

WWDC is getting so close. Strange year for me this year, but still looking forward to seeing all you folks.
Remember when I had any clue about what the hell was going on at WWDC?
I will trade basically anything for a unicorn wwdc pin. Someone grab one for me?? 🙏
2019 #
Starting to get sad that I don’t have a WWDC ticket this year. ☹️ BUT - I’m still heading to San Jose tomorrow to hang out with some of you nerds! 😁
I think this is the first keynote I’ve not seen in person in the 10 years I’ve been coming to WWDC. ☹️ #FOMO
In case you were curious - you can indeed stream WWDC sessions from a Southwest Airlines flight. 😎

it turns out, even without an audience, the WWDC keynote totally makes me want to go build stuff.
2022 #
First WWDC for me was 2009. I was so excited to find my app icon outside Moscone while we waited for the keynote. Extra excited when I found it again inside.
