My team is hiring for someone to work alongside me doing lots of fun things with mobile apps. Don't get too warded off by the JS because we've got a lot of very modern Swift and Kotlin to write. #FediHire #swift

Last month, I handed in my resignation letter, and now I’m starting interview preparation. Wish me luck — considering the market situation, I’ll definitely need it. 🫠

TIL Durable functions!

Yeah, no doubt, also think it’s quite similar to some other stuff, out of my head even in Akka you can implement some similar guarantees like workflows and activities have. Of course all manual though.
Looking forward to the talk, one of the most interesting for me this year!

Jaleel Akbashev @jaleel.bsky.social · 5d

Just double checked temporal, looks interesting. „Pure“ workflows and activities like effect operations, they even have a SideEffect term in their docs. 🙃
Replaying workflows and blocking them indefinitely also looks nice, and it’s language agnostic. 🤔

Think visiting WHSmiths is also part of experience 🙃

It's been an incredible year for the conference. We had attendees from 6(!) continents come together for an amazing 3 days of workshops, talks and meeting each other face to face. Thank you to all the volunteers and speakers, it's been truly special

Swift isn't just for client apps: when Elytra moved from Node to Swift for their server code, they benefited from better performance and a unified codebase. More here: elytra.app/blog/2025/10...

As your apps and services grow, things tend to break, fail, crash. Building workflows to help recover and handle these issues is hard. Franz Busch will explain one way from doing it in Swift!

Last several years it's pure hard work from my side and now feel exhausted. While this pays off slowly, still sometimes wish some random good stuff would happen, or a bit of luck. 🍀

Observability is super important for production systems - Moritz Lang and Si Beaumont are going to give us the low down on how to do it in Swift!

When you are an iOS developer, every day is Xmas - LLM edition:

I didn’t grasp this at first.

This is using a third-party LLM, running with Apple’s MLX and using their new system that maps LLM output into Swift structured data.

This is how he got that nice UI updating live.
