Dr. Drang is the pseudonymous engineer behind 'And now it's all this,' the long-running blog at leancrew.com where he posts small, fully-explained scripts that bend macOS to his will. By day he is a practicing civil and mechanical engineer with a Ph.D. in stress and structural analysis; by night he writes Python in BBEdit, glues apps together with AppleScript and Shortcuts, and walks readers through every line of code. His pen name is an engineering in-joke - 'Drang' is German for stress - and he has guarded his anonymity for over two decades to keep his consulting clients from finding his musings on math, music, and Mac automation.
Federico Viticci is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of MacStories, the Italy-based Apple publication he started in 2009 at age 21. He is best known for his book-length annual iOS and iPadOS reviews, his pioneering, almost evangelical insistence on using the iPad as his primary computer, and his deep work on Apple's Shortcuts automation. He co-hosts the AppStories podcast and several Relay FM shows including Connected, and runs the membership community Club MacStories.
