One More Thing

One More Thing: The WWDC Community Rap Lyrics
Vocals: PaoloV
Beatbox: Mike Bundy

Lights up
Cupertino’s awake and the sidewalks are humming,
The builders are coming.
Badges on chests, coffee in hand,
A thousand little futures just touched down on land.

Flighty lit up with the great migration,
Gate to gate, state to state, one destination.
Red eyes, delays, arrivals on screen,
Then Apple Park gates to CommunityKit scene.
We didn’t just arrive, we assembled the scene
WWDC26, let me tell you what I mean.

And hold up this ain’t Suno, this is PaoloV,
Mike on the beatbox, live from the community.
No full ChatGPT, just a little assist,
Just Apple Intelligence with a human wrist.

Apple said: Intelligence rebuilt from the ground,
Siri got context, App Intents got found.
Foundation Models, Core AI in the flow,
Xcode got agents saying, “Run it, let’s go.”

Design got sharper, the platforms aligned,
But the real update are the people we find.
Boots cats, code stacks, Philz in the cup,
Dub Dub week and the whole room lit up.

Saturday just started with San Pedro light,
No agenda, just stories, ideas taking flight.
try! Swift Nomikai, Japan in the room,
New friends landing and the Bay starts to bloom.

Sunday morning, Ctrl+Alt+Run,
Philz to Apple Park under California sun.
Then Step-Into-Coffee, no stage, no pitch,
Just Vision Pro builders finding their niche.

Core Coffee predictions, Bashcade at night,
Arcade lights flashing, RevenueCat bright.
AI Night, after dark, tokens in the air,
Local models, agents, devs everywhere.

CHORUS:

This is Dub Dub, this is us,
From keynote rush to shuttle bus.
CommunityKit at the center of the light,
Where the whole week found its heart each night.
Siri got smarter, Xcode got bright,
But the people made the future feel alive that night.
Step Into Vision, step in the room,
Every prototype a spark in bloom.
PV on the mic, Mike Bundy on beat,
WWDC26 brought the world to the street.

Monday hit CommunityKit came alive,
Watch parties, workshops, memories to archive.
Students, Swift, St★rs with projects on display,
Student Challenge winners showing us the way.

Beer with Swift, and a French dinner too,
macOS, iOS, and what do you do?
Apple Park glowing with the official track,
While the community kept pulling people back.

Tuesday breakfast, WWDCWomen with grace,
Thoughtful conversations, a welcoming space.
Then Step Into Vision, our show and tell call,
Filmmakers, devs, designers, room for all.

Bring a demo, bring a sketch, bring a dream half made,
Bring the messy prototype before it’s displayed.
No headset? No problem. Come see what’s new.
The future is better when we’re building it with you.

App Money Lunch Club, indie dev truth,
Pricing, paywalls, and hard earned proof.
Indie Meetup said the quiet part loud
Shipping is easy, but finding your crowd?

Apple Intelligence Automators in session,
App Intents, Siri, Shortcuts in progression.
Then The Interface, design in its prime,
Craft, decisions, stories over time.

Wednesday came with trivia and cheer,
Launched LIVE brought indie stories near.
Containers on Mac, Swift in the stack,
Make It Visible put access on track.

Accessibility isn’t polish at the end,
It’s how you make the product a really good friend.
Swift contributors at Bowlmor unwind,
Open source humans meeting offline.

Then Developer center, welcome reception glow,
Robin spoke access, helping the practice grow.
Joseph and Paolo with Vision in frame,
Daiki shared heart, James sang the flame.

Thursday Code Crawl, laptop parade,
Apple Visitor Center, new APIs made.
Philz, HEYTEA, LaTTea, Duke of Edinburgh too,
Coffee shop coding with a moving crew.

Vapor talked server-side Swift in the mix,
Bitrig Bash had builders gone ahead trading tricks.
Then LIVE near WWDC lit up the night,
James and the Breakpoints with Techtonica light.

Friday slowed down, let the week breathe,
Make Something, Ship Nothing, memories to keep.
Postcards, stickers, future self letters,
No code for a moment, just being together.

So here’s to the dreamers,
The teachers,
The coders,
The creators,
The students,
The leaders,
The late night debaters.
Designers, developers, dreamers, one and all,
The ones who showed up, answered the call.
From coffee to code, from talks to trust,
The keynote was Apple
But the community was us.

FINAL CHORUS:

This is Dub Dub, this is us,
From keynote rush to shuttle bus.
CommunityKit at the center of the light,
Where the whole week found its heart each night.
Siri got smarter, Xcode got bright,
But the people made the future feel alive that night.
Step Into Vision, step in the room,
Every prototype a spark in bloom.
PV on the mic, Mike Bundy on beat,
WWDC26 brought the world to the street.
Now back to design, back to code, back to ship,
Back to the projects that started this trip.
But keep this close when the deadlines descend:
Dub Dub is a week
but the Community is a friend.
