James and Frank break tradition by recording Merge Conflict together in person, sharing laughs about ferries, sea shanties, and their annual Seattle holiday meetup. The conversation dives deep into Swift Data versus Core Data, CloudKit syncing, and the quirks of building modern apps with AI assistance. Along the way, James reveals his new weight‑tracking app experiment, complete with charts, HealthKit integration, and lessons learned from coding on planes and trains.
