Ever since I read about Rodney Brooks and his idea of the Subsumption architecture I've been convinced that something like this is going on in our minds - likely with some other me…

I think it’s important to remember that you don’t have to wait until you retire to live your life. Finding a balance between your work and personal life is the most important thing…

Looks like a fantastic device. Any chance of getting these to Australia? I can’t see a shipping option.

I live in Sydney and we have a bunch of these on the street. There’s also one in my next door neighbours small back yard growing over my house. I think I might be in the minority b…

An impactful thing you can do for your health is delete all of your social apps and disengage from the circus completely. I did that a couple of months ago and it’s improved my con…

Interestingly they've gone for a UIKit approach on iOS. I would have thought for future proofing they would have gone straight to SwiftUI. In my experience so far the transition ha…

This is wonderful, well done. The limitations you mention just add to the style.

Back in the late 90s/early 2000s I worked at a game studio. One of the things we got in to were DVD games - we built a tool that was used to create quizzes on DVD players. Feels pr…

Thanks for this. I was going to do something similar because my wife and I can’t think of a name and we only have 4 weeks to go!

I’ve had a similar path to you. Whenever I’m having a frustrating experience with them I just remind myself that it’s better than it used to be. It used to take weeks to resolve th…

This made me think about how we use the term 'over engineered' in our industry. In most industries it seems to be a good thing (i.e. space shuttle). In our industry it's synonymous…

Was a joy to do it while I was in lockdown. It’s a bit buggy but generally works if you have an Apple Music library with some albums added. If you have any issues just kill it and …

Thanks for the video I’ve not seen that one before. There should be a PR up on GitHub somewhere with my fixes (search kemalenver) and you should find it. We had some issues getting…

Cinder is fantastic. I spent the start of last year fixing an old iPad app that was built with it called Planetary. It’s free on the App Store if anyone is interested. By pure chan…

Same as me. I really liked that too. I always read it as x becomes equal to y.

I’ve been working with iOS since about 2008. I haven’t touched core data for about 10 years...it’s not worth the pain.

At this point I actually prefer the cocoa methods of creating UI. This kind of tech also affects the architecture of the app that is utilising it - SwiftUI and the like seem to be …

We managed to move our iOS CI over to this in a couple of days. Produces multiple independent builds based on branch names, signed with an enterprise profile for testing and QA. Th…

Thanks to everyone for your recommendations. There's some real gems here.
