I'm gonna go all in on UIKit from now on.

I’ve lost the war against SwiftUI. Unfortunately will be ripping it out of the entire app except for basic screens. We are in dire need of a pure UIKit backed library that is more like HTML-in-swift than React-in-swift. I’d love css style selectors too. The reactive layer needs to be built on top of a declarative layout syntax (like SwiftUI) but we need to be able to opt into any kind of virtual DOM style tree diffing / reactive state. Imperative state management is not a bad thing and IMO it’s worth the verbosity to have complete control over render life cycles. Theres also no reason why swift shouldn’t have fine-grained, element level updates that bypass a virtual tree just like how @solid_js has.



@marlene_zw did an awesome demo on stage this morning Looks so naturally



Engineering job openings are at the highest levels we’ve seen in over 3 years There are over 67,000 (!!!) eng openings at tech companies globally right now, with 26,000 just in the U.S. We don’t know if there would have been more open roles if not for AI or if AI is actually leading to more open roles, but since the start of this year, the increase in open eng roles is accelerating even more.
