Yup, really they had the right idea in that it was native components that were hoisted by JavaScript binding... it really lost steam because it became easier to just build native S…

How else do you identify your mbp going through TSA. Call me laptop roulette paranoid.

I have had some nice results with swift. It’s still predominately Apple tech (macOS,iOS) but the packages manager is nice and it’s has nice “script” feel for a compiled language.

Great article, I love seeing server and client side worlds colliding. It reminds me of the early days of lib-uv/nodeJS. In addition to the swift NIO specific endeavors I’m excited …

In my humble experience the impact of this issue is multiplied on mobile; given the mobile context the user expectation is in amplified and the need for clear communication made mo…

If I had a dollar for every time an XO, Sales VP, or board investor (I’m looking at you Todd Rulon-Miller) said we were expecting an IPO filing in two years (bless thier optimistic…

When choosing a language, framework or “platform” there are only three things that matter: (1) Time to market: how fast can you implement a “ship-able” feature, app (2) Resource co…

While legacy iOS developers are justifying objective-c over swift. Swift is “eating the world” of iOS and macOS app ( and some server side ) development, avoid it at your own peril…

Completely true for the last two years, however if the last two months are any indicator things are looking up on this front. The swift 4 update was relatively painless compared to…

How is this measured? I'm a big fan of Vapor, just curious

All this and the developers that were driving new line of biz products were coming from the front end ( web and mobile ), of course all front ends need backends and when these thes…

It's amazing how much nautical language and references contribute to colloquial phrases. It may be just the company I keep but I find it consistently comes up in French.

I would add to that oil and gas project managers. When I moved to SF from Dallas I was astounded how little Product Managers assessed resource costs + risk to value. I get that it'…

I agree with a lot of this. My one comment is that not all side projects are about a "full startup business". I shipped my 2 mo. side project this summer. Donors Choose Project Fin…

Great write up

Fantastic! I'll move over my server side Swift WIP prototypes ASAP . https://github.com/mschmulen/yachtsServer

I don't understand why (forgive me for the generalization) blue collar work ethic and blue collar loyalty are so often dismissed in the tech field. Some of the best advice I ever r…

I think test after is a reasonable approach. I am constantly dealing with new code bases and in the interview process I am often asked about my philosophy about testing. My respons…

Hey I have some time behind the iOS Dev "wheel" (about 12 iOS apps shipped, some better than others :/ ) , I'm between jobs/contracts and just hanging out so if you want someone to…

I like this approach, and I use it a lot in my Objective-C to swift conversions. For new code (or legacy apps without testing infrastructure) I tend to approach testing first from …

I'm doing about 10 hours a week on it, I figured I would 'soft launch' it rough instead and polish it up as I get closer to the start of school year .

Hey that's pretty cool. I just did a similar thing, I started about 3 weeks ago on Donors Choose app https://appsto.re/us/JVmbab.i it's not for profit or anything , just figured I …
