Rob Fahrni — Software developer in Charlottesville, Virginia
Software development (iOS, Mac, React Native), tech commentary, sports, and life observations.
rob.crabapples.netRob Fahrni has been writing software for nearly four decades, and his blog has the feel of a veteran developer's front porch. Come for the weekly "Saturday Morning Coffee" link roundups, stay for the honest takes on React Native migrations, indie software, and the state of the tech industry. He writes from Charlottesville with the kind of directness that comes from decades of shipping code.

Saturday Morning Coffee
Good morning from Charlottesville, Virginia! ☕️ We managed to sell our camping trailer, which was really nice, because we bought a slightly bigger one and needed to get rid of it. 🤣 Work has been fine.

Random East Coast Observation
