Chris is one of those people who gets me to stop what I am doing, shut my door, put on my head phones and just listen. Do not disturb. I am a self taught programmer and have learned my way by many a night studying/reading/debugging but all that teaches me is code. Just code! When I listen to Chris, I feel like I am listening to a technical leader, mentor and visionary. It's hard to find things to teach me how to become that, and it just so happens (maybe it doesn't the more I think about it) that I can usually also learn Swift while learning these other great skills or perspectives _by just listening to him talk_. Thanks for all you've done for the Swift community Chris and good luck in all that you do.
