We had a wide-ranging conversation about my journey from working at Twitter on societal health issues to becoming an indie developer, and how my story involves open source at it's heart. I built Boutique to be a \"magical\" persistence library, along with its companion Bodega, which led me to discover the harsher reality of being an open source maintainer, and working full time on open source wasn't my dream despite my love of open source.\n\n<!--preview-snippet-->\n\n- Watch on YouTube: iOS Development and Open Source - Making Data Storage Magical\n\n- Original Recording",
