As part of our commitment to investing in Swift across all platforms, we're delighted to announce the availability of the new all-Swift Foundation library as part of the Swift 6 nightly toolchain, supporting Linux and Windows. 🏗️🏗️🏗️ More here: forums.swift.org/t/swift-founda…

It is the TEN YEAR anniversary of the Swift programming language announcement today. How has time flown by so quickly?! youtu.be/w87fOAG8fjk?t=… #wwdc2014

@gusverdun @Apple Very nice Gus!

It’s time. I’m going to enjoy this very much. Thanks @Apple. Nano/Vesa/FTW

Wonderful article about Geddy Lee, of the band Rush in the Washington Post: wapo.st/49ywM34

@GreatDismal They did such a good job with the series. I was looking forward to a Season 2…. 😞

**sigh**

@gusverdun Did you also see this one? atari.com/products/arcad…

NGL, "ATARI" and "2600" are seeds to many of my passwords. 🤣😆😂. This was my first game console and it's making a modern comeback (Adding this to my 🎄list): hackaday.com/2023/09/11/ata…

@prsguitars How about “Deep Blue Sea” for this one? It reminds me of ocean waves.

What's the name of your favorite guitar and what would you name this one? 🌀 Happy #privatestockfriday!

@gusverdun Congratulations Gus! 🎉

BIG NEWS — BACK TO CAPITAL ONE — IOS SWE

@gusverdun I do!

I came across my old work email address while cleaning out my old mail. How many remember their old "at teamaol dot com" work email addresses? 🤣

Interesting article on gas vs electric vehicles: wapo.st/455t4M4

Swift HTTP Types is a new, open source package designed to provide common types for working with HTTP. swift.org/blog/introduci…

@samleegray @iosmayank 😂 no plans at the moment. Would love to work with you again. 😀

@stury @iosmayank And you better not be retiring anytime soon! I need at least one more opportunity to work closely with you again. 😜

iOS developer tool-kit in 2023 : 🛠️ Editor → Xcode 💼 Framework → SwiftUI ⚙️ Backend → Supabase 💰 In-app subscription → Glassfy 🗂️ Local DB → Realm ♻️ CI/CD → Codemagic 📈 App monitoring → GetSentry 🔥 App performance → EmergeTools

@gusverdun @LarryAasen Hopefully they didn’t fork from React Native. If they did, it will be a problem moving forward. Be careful of edge cases where a particular flow might break on a particular platform. That’s always the Achilles heal…

@LarryAasen @stury How does that compare to ReactNative (also mentioned for the role)?

How do you analyze an iOS App? I typically install it and use Charles to inspect the API calls as I tap around the app. Is there a trick to get the IPA?

@samleegray @iosmayank The Alto team was such a great work experience. You definitely need to cherish the experiences where everyone is working for the right goal. Alto is definitely in my list of great working experiences. Hoping I get another one or two to add to my list before I retire.

@stury @iosmayank 😂 You’re awesome man. This is definitely one of the things I was helped by you to learn. Working with you & the whole Alto team made me realize this much more deeply.

@samleegray @iosmayank Go Sam, go! 😀

@iosmayank Or…you can…oh idk…just make an app the way you want? Gatekeeping is stupid no matter the subject. There is no silver bullet. Use what you have and know how to use well. It’ll do the job and then some.

@gusverdun @LarryAasen Sounds like you are good on the iOS side. You’ll have to advocate for Jetpack Compose on the Android side to make them comparable.

@stury @LarryAasen The job description mentions Swift, SwiftUI, and ObjC for iOS but only Kotlin for Android 🤔😂

@gusverdun @LarryAasen Hopefully most of the work you would do would be in Swift. Might just want to verify in the interview. Good luck!

@LarryAasen @stury I'm sure there are legacy modules that are.

@gusverdun I did this a while ago as well, and I have not run into any issues yet.

Switching my iMac to the Z-Shell (ZSH) after hanging on to BASH all these years. I hope it works, as I know not what I am getting myself into.

@samleegray Hang in there Sam!

Soooo…apparently I need a DNA test and extensive brain scanning / study to help my #psychologist & #psychiatrist try and get even a clue to help my #anxiety & #depression. They looked at my file and both were like “you weren’t lying when you said you tried everything”. Everything but scanning my brain I guess. Did a DNA test before, didn’t really show anything but I can’t get the results back from the place I did it with.(how do you lose medical records?!) This is gonna be an interesting next couple of months. Trying to be optimistic. I just wanna feel like my good old self again. Life makes that pretty hard sometimes, for everyone, eh? Guess it’s my turn. Time for late lunch.
