After 113 applications, 34 rejections, 8 interviews and no responses from 71 of those applications, I can proudly say that I have finally accepted an offer as a full-time iOS developer @travelbankhq! 🎉 No bachelors degree, no bootcamp, 100% from online resources. I DID IT!!!

I don’t think I want to be primarily an iOS dev anymore after getting into unity game dev. I’m having a lot more fun and it’s definitely more engaging than simply building UI.

When nothing goes to plan in Japan 😂 #shorts #minivlog #hokkaido #artist... youtube.com/shorts/5oGNVRM… via @YouTube

Wassup my fellow SWEs! Im probably just tweeting into the void but does anyone have any experience with moving to Japan through finding a dev job? My wife and I are looking to move abroad for a while and I’m just curious about how doable this is

@elonmusk When did you care about fairness? When I was in the Navy, it wasn’t fair that I had to work 12-16 hour days while others only had a 6 hour work day. Theres a saying in the military: Pick a rate, choose your fate. They know what they signed up for, don’t go complain about it now.

This is about fairness: it’s not fair that most people have to come to work to build products or provide services while Federal Government employees get to stay home

@micah_erfan Most people didn’t shift to the right. The left shifted so far left that everyone who was moderately left became right wing to them.

@hossam_mabed @Microsoft Fun fact, Microsoft donated over $1 million to the Democratic Party

🧵 So I guess the cat is out of the bag. I was fired from @Microsoft on Thursday, hours after a vigil we organized to honor and remember the lives of Palestinians killed by American-funded and Microsoft-empowered Israeli genocide.

Biggest pet peeve is when api sends me a string value of “true” when it’s supposed to be a bool. I just wasted an hour trying to figure out why an object wasn’t decoding correctly while thinking it was an entirely different issue. 🤦🏻‍♂️

My wife quit nursing to become a full time artist 🎨. She believed in me when I quit school to go learn how to code online, it’s only natural that I do the same for her 🥹. #YOLO youtu.be/7ER6ovMaPsg?si…

What’s a senior software engineer I? 🧐

@ios_dev_alb Redux. TCA is cool but I don’t think architecture should be handled by a third party dependency.

iOS devs, Which architecture are you currently using for SwiftUI? 🤔

@VicDevPiano Off the top of my head, maybe make a protocol for the viewmodels with an associated type of State. Then declare your function signature like ‘func mutate() -> State’.

I am having trouble being concise with some duplicate functions in two viewModels with different state types. I have two duplicate (between the viewModels) functions that mutate the states of these viewModels. Also, how to deal with similar views that observe these viewModels.

Finally got the tattoo that my wife drew and I couldn’t be happier with how it came out 🫶🏼

My wife launched her art business and it mean a lot to her and myself if you could check out her products at etsy.com/shop/ATHartpri…! Each piece was hand painted with gouache and she’s selling them as stickers, postcards and individual art prints. Posting some of them below:

@dev_jmitchell @discord By Unity 😂

Was @discord hacked? 🧐

@6886_xoxo1 @MattWallace888 That’s a dumb argument lol. I have definitely been out on a lake, on a paddle board without being strapped to it. Why? Because I know how to swim

⚠️ The Mysterious Death Today of Michelle and Barack Obama’s Private Chef Needs More Attention ⚠️ As details come out... it’s becoming increasingly apparent that things do not add up… Tafari Campbell worked in the White House during the Obama administration, and then they decided to bring him home with them as a private chef when Trump took over in 2016. Over the last 7 years, he has traveled all over the world with them and knows many of their deepest/darkest secrets. Rumors are spreading that he was murdered because they discovered a book he was writing about his experience that included a lot of reputation-damaging info . This could have been seen as a betrayal from someone they trusted. Who goes paddle boarding alone in the middle of a pond with no life jacket if you don’t even know how to swim? To make things even stranger… a witness describes him sinking quickly below the surface and vanishing… Why didn’t/couldn’t he grab onto his paddleboard? Why did it take them so long to find his body in only 8 feet of water when a witness supposedly saw exactly where it happened? What are the chances the Obamas happened to be out of town on the exact day this occurred? Why is the media playing cover-up? Why would he leave his wife and kids behind to go paddle boarding? Why were many law enforcement officials so quick to write this off before an autopsy even took place? I WILL NOT STOP INVESTIGATING UNTL THE TRUTH COMES OUT!

I was laid off from Lyft today, so I'm looking for work! If you're hiring remote or in Montreal, hit me up. 12 years iOS experience, 9 years Swift. My DMs are open.

@justinevans24 @Uber_Support @insanereality Uber actually doesn’t make any money and has been in negative cash flow since it’s creation.

@Uber_Support @insanereality This happens too often, you need to do more. You make enough $$

I hate April fools day. I wasted 5 minutes of my life watching how to improve Xcode build times and it was just a joke. I should’ve figured. 😐

@acbdev And I’m all for cussing up a storm as long as it’s not directed to anyone.

@alexDidLoad I agree!!! Hearing swearing makes me feel more at ease in some cases. I think I am just overthinking this 😅🙈

Is it ok to say “sh*t” in a conference talk 🤔 as a substitute for “stuff”

@acbdev No I think it’s valid to think about this especially in todays climate. We have older folks with their own idea of work culture but they’re slowly transitioning out of the tech space. It’s up to the current generation to decide on how we want to communicate with one another.
