It’s crazy that Alan Dye had no experience with UI before being thrust into a position of power over platform design, affecting millions of apps. He has a responsibility to the industry. Platform design should be way more comprehensive and far less restrictive than this.

Swift Structured Concurrency makes our lives much easier by introducing task groups. Task groups are a way to run a dynamic number of child tasks, await all of them, or cancel. This week, we will learn how to use and optimize task groups in Swift.

Watching the last episode of #ScavengersReign. And now I can tell for sure - this is one the best #SciFi animations I watched. Into the list with Ghost in the Shell and Akira. The style is stunning, the story is complex, question hit hard.

I love how we can use the symbolVariant() modifier in #SwiftUI instead of typing full SF Symbol names like "star.fill". It even works on multiple symbols at once!

Just finished 'Fooled by Randomness' by Nassim Taleb.
Biggest takeaway: we live in a world that defies predictions, yet we keep believing we can predict tomorrow based on yesterday's patterns (we can't!)
Must-read for anyone making decisions under uncertainty. May cause existential insights!

Interesting from video on @lennysan.bsky.social channel: ask LLM "how can I automate ", even before coming to it with the whole idea of the process.
And as an exProductManager for engineers: don't be afraid to take a new roles, like PMs, especially now.

Finally! My @tuist.dev learning curve paying off - the development experience is snappy and incredible! Unfortunately if you using something macros heavy like #ComposableArchitecture and want #SwiftUI previews - it's the only option, otherwise it's a pain. The curve was 8 months though 😆

Learn how to integrate SQLite into a SwiftUI view using GRDB. We’ll explore querying the database to display data in the UI, enforcing table relations to maintain app state, and testing everything in Xcode previews.
