man i really didn't anticipate how important politics was in big corporations, the skill of lying and bending the truth is more important than your technical abilities

Every time I try to seriously use SwiftUI for a complex new feature, I come away slightly disgusted with myself for having wasted so much time implementing the most basic things that there's millions of libraries for in React. Like, we're halfway to 2026 and you can still not create a smooth scrolling collection grid of items with a custom layout in SwiftUI. Sure, you can prototype an Apple-styled List™ or LazyVGrid™ view rapidly, but once you slap 500+ items in there and some real-world scenarios or styling, your app grinds down to a 10fps experience and you need a SwiftUI PhD and maybe another few days to claw back some 5-10 fps doing what feels like extremely hacky workarounds. If you told that to someone in 2019, they would surely conclude that SwiftUI has failed as a framework.
