I literally just downloaded this app. Very happy with my purchase and works as advertised. I have been playing around with it on my Apple Watch and it works really well. So nice to be able to type on a keyboard and not have to say aloud everything I want to send in a text. I gave 4 stars because there needs to be some improvement with keyboard accuracy. It’s odd but when I tried spelling the word keyboard I couldn’t get it to type the letter “b”. Pros:1. Finally! A keyboard for Apple Watch. 2. Security. I don’t have to say out loud what I want typed. I can keep my message discrete. 3. So much easier to reply to messages on my AW. 4. Easy to type on. Other than the letter “b” problem above,…from apps.apple.com

    Hey folks. Last year I was fortunate enough to sign a deal to write a book with my favorite technical publisher, The Pragmatic Bookshelf. When I started out as an Engineering Manager many years ago, I found that there wasn't a huge amount of material that specifically and practically helped me understand how to do my job. When you learn to program there's all of these amazing tutorials, examples and guides, but what was there for new managers? In response to this, a couple of years ago I started a blog over at https://www.theengineeringmanager.com which got a decent amount of…
