Super intuitive layout and organization.Shortcuts for iOS and Mac - Shortcuts enable all sorts of IFTTT-like functionality on Apple devices with a visual programming language.ZeroTier - lightweight and open source software defined networking (SDN) platform. Effectively a secure virtual network interface added to all your devices that share a virtual subnet. Like Hamachi but not awful. So simple and useful!

Communicating technical topics to non-technical people:
- Be patient, people can have a lot of emotions bound up in their lack of confidence with technology.
- Always assume positive intent. Ceaseless professionalism and deescalation are my priority.
- Ask lots of questions. Try and develop an internal picture of their understanding before offering an extensive explanation. This will help you meet them where they are, and turn a lesson into a conversation.
