It sounds like you have a system. Is it effective for you? What does your system look like?
People who code for mobile development, like OP, is IOS development their full time job? Because as someone who does web development, to learn the in and out of Swift programming language and using XCode feel major vendor lockin and prefer say React Native due to its interoperability.
It doesn't really make sense to call it vendor lock-in when you're learning a platform's native API and idiosyncrasies. That would apply more to React Native since you are stuck with its vendored abstractions and you can't just swap out React Native once you've built with it. I think you're commenting on how iOS development is a less portable skill than a toolkit than runs on all platforms. Or that your iOS app is st…
This applies to the web, too. A dev who has a good grasp of of the fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JS), the DOM, what does and doesn't trigger a repaint, etc is going to be able to take a React project a lot further than a dev who only knows how to use React.

I mean that kind of tracks? I had to take a computer science ethics course in college. It mainly focused on stuff like the Therac-25 case study, but I could easily see a more modern version of the course covering social media algorithms. I wonder if marketing courses also have an ethics component taught in them?
> focused on stuff like the Therac-25 case study, but I could easily see a more modern version of the course A good example of bad that can happen but damn is that just plain lazy. More recent examples are surely more relevant and would generated more discussion.
As a solo/indie dev who's currently early in building a product, I've been keeping a journal of "ideas" for content in a txt file in the codebase as I hate context switching and want to build this up before I get to it. Here's what I've done: - At the top of the file I've listed my audience, 3 personas - My content has to be useful to one of those - If I see an interesting post/take on social media I hold the link an…
I've always struggled to find the right balance as a solo/indie dev. However, recently I decided to try something I'm calling the SaaS Schedule Sandwich. Each month is split into four weeks: - Week 1: Build - Week 2: Market - Week 3: Build - Week 4: Video Journal And so far it's kept me honest and not made me go live in a cave and code for a year. I actually released the first video journal last week for our new prod…
TL;DR if you don't know who Sebastian Lagree is (my LA gf said "the pilates guy?") then don't read this.
I didn't know who he is and still found this blog post really interesting because the real topic is about marketing your app when you're a software developer.

> Build it and they will come is a fallacy.
This is true. But is this the alternative?
No trying to minimize the efforts of people who do this as real jobs or influencing - you do you. However, generating fake message screenshot, sending unsolicited messages etc? And the winner is the one who gets the biggest rise from the consumer, authentic or not.
Distribution is hard, I get it. But isn't this the equivalent of everyone just rocking up to the village square in the most outrageous costumes and screaming into the megaphone?
I didn’t know people used Insta for b2b outbound like LinkedIn haha. > Build it and they will come is a fallacy. You have to tell people about the damn thing. Great lesson for engineering types
