My 12yo told me he will write an epic adventure story. He then told me to come up with the ideas, write them down, and to make sure it reads well. So proud of him. He must have developed the concept of work-for-hire from first principles.

@YauhenSlizh Can you file a feedback with the previews diagnostics from the failure? I'd like to dig into this. Let me know what the feedback number is.

@jonathanpenn Version 16.1 (16B40). For purity of experiment, I will do the same for simple KMM project.

#SwiftUI Previews don't Work for #Kotlin #Multiplatform #Mobile (#KMM) Projects. Where is the problem, and how can it be solved? The short answer is provided in my post: buff.ly/4fWFjQi #iOS #Android #Xcode

@alpennec I work on the Previews team. The feedback is really helpful to route issues to the right place.

@jonathanpenn It’s really really annoying. Like Previews are unusable, they keep crashing every time I change something in my View. How do you plan to use my feedback and ips?

@alpennec 👍

@jonathanpenn Here is the feedback number: #FB15129464 You can get the ips file here: easyupload.io/4g3qli I hope it's helpful!

@RedQueenCoder @jamesdempsey 👋

@jamesdempsey @jonathanpenn Hi @jonathanpenn 👋🏻

The incomparable @jonathanpenn swung by straight from the airport to rehearse a few songs for Wednesday night’s show. The show live stream is free with a live chat hosted by Breakpoints Brent Simmons and Steve Hayman! Get all the details at livenearwwdc.com

Community building is really hard. The work is often slow and thankless, and it takes time away from the work I find truly interesting. But it’s so worth it. forums.swift.org/t/swift-mentor…

I, too, have stared into the bagel.

Interviewer: can you explain this gap on your resume Me: yeah it’s a sparse array, so I’m trading off worst-case spatial efficiency for faster results. I am doing this because the text of the problem suggests a real-time application with a modestly-sized dataset

@drewmccormack @cocoaphony One of the more optimistic takes is that indie artists could construct NFTs that require paying them a portion of second-hand sales. It would be enforced by the system. But as we’ve seen with recent rug-pulls, this mechanism has no limits. Solve for the equilibrium. :)

@drewmccormack @cocoaphony One difference is that NFTs can be coded to have arbitrary restrictions on how (or if even possible) to sell them enforced by the machine. A right like this wouldn’t be guaranteed.

One of the hardest things to teach in software engineering: it's literally all made up, functions are just GOTOs, the computer doesn't care what anything is called, almost all the "structure" in our code is only there to make something convenient for another human to comprehend

The SwiftUI Previews team is hiring! We get to provide the preview experience for Xcode and Swift Playgrounds. We love sitting at the intersection of tools, languages, frameworks, and the system. If this sounds interesting, please apply or DM! jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/…

85% of computer work is humiliating paint-by-numbers easy stuff and the other 15% requires you to piece together a functional understanding of the entire history of every programming language and build system.

This was fun. Multiple takes. 32 musicians. Recorded remotely. Miss playing in person. Can’t keep us apart. Thanks James!
