Lately I keep hearing: "Be an orchestra conductor" AI won't replace devs, it'll replace those who can't orchestrate AI tools.

I didn't study Computer Science in university (I studied law 😄). I started my programming career with an insatiable hunger to learn, seeking out the best teachers and their courses, putting everything into practice. And throughout that entire journey, Udemy was always there 🎯.

If you haven't gone through a phase in your career where you want to change professions, where everywhere you go you see the same patterns, same meetings, same mantras and mistakes, painting APIs following Figma designs starts to stop being a challenge and becomes just routine 🔄

Debating whether to launch Nativa's Mac app via the App Store or direct distribution lately 🤔 Each has ups and downs. Some apps launch on the App Store and then leave (like Sketch), or launch both in and out (like CapCut with Mac only outside).

Lesson learned: Biggest lesson from 5+ years as an iOS developer 👀
Yesterday I got my first "AI iOS Developer" job offer 🤯 Not the typical "Senior iOS Developer" search. This confirms a conversation I had months ago with a Senior Dev friend: AI will reshape our market.

One major thing that separates a Junior dev from a Mid-level, and a Mid-level from a Senior, is understanding and executing app architecture properly. 🧵

After building authentication flows for multiple social apps, I realized even experienced iOS devs spend 2-3 days on this.
