I work as an iOS developer at my day job, but have become concerned that my general CS skills / maths are getting worse due to the lack of day to day applications. I mostly work on…

I ordered an Addison Lee to the airport a few months back. The driver spent the entire time chatting about Uber and how dangerous it is. It's like they get off on it. He was also b…

They're probably using several bloated SDK's within their app for core Google services, view elements etc etc. If they're using dynamic linking, they have to include these in the b…

Maybe it's just my experiences (iOS development interviews), but whiteboard interviews are actually quite rare. Most of the time it's either questions about iOS, pair programming i…

According to discord ( https://discord.engineering/using-react-native-one-year-late... ): Unfortunately Android devices have much greater variance in performance and tend to trail …

Thanks for the input. I do feel more and more that cross-Platform is a illusion like you say. I already know Swift. Do you think Kotlin would a better transition into Android than …

I've heard performance problems.

I think mainly for minor parts. From my initial research it appears the React Native on Android suffers performance problems. I.e. the Discord app on that showcase is still native …

What do you do as your day job? Do you find that you don't focus on one thing as part of that? I'd say I'm the opposite. Funnily enough, I'm envious of people who are a jack of all…

Same here. I wonder whether this experience with the free cracked version helped make Photoshop any more popular. If it was only used in the legal sense, costing hundreds, would it…

Fantastic idea. Disappointed I can't use it now! I'll be waiting for use with Swift.

You do have a good point, and something I didn't explicitly notice before. This does seem to have the indirect consequence of enforcing some sort of type information in the variabl…

To be honest, even as a fairly seasoned iOS developer I still prefer to have a non-optional first argument in my APIs. Whereas the post's example compares: path.addLineToPoint(CGPo…

First of all, it looks great, so well done for that! It's fantastic to actually make it to the release stage. That said, I'm a big fan of adopting the best design paradigm for the …
