Hold Me, Use Me, Release Me
summary
A live music set that explains and jokes about Objective-C memory management by turning retain/release rules into lyrics, with a literal oldie performed about retainers and releasing and a clear demonstration of the mental model rather than slides or code. Includes backstage anecdotes: a 2013 Breakpoint jam at a Holiday Inn with a fire pit and a carpet mishap, and a recurring live WWDC benefit tradition where band members swap songs when someone can't make it. Expect a comedic, practical memory-management primer sung with a rock band.
