First contract of 2025....... falls through.

(I'm fine! But always planning 3-6 months in advance is something.)

I don't suppose you could use some Swift 6 training/workshops/consultation? I've worked with large teams all the way down to individuals. I'd love to talk!

It's done. Now it’s your turn, Oracle.

We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal.

I swear to god, this object does exist and is accessible in my tests, now leave me alone Xcode... Saying this after multiple Xcode restarts.

And yes during compilation and runtime of the tests, the object will be found. It's just a normal Xcode Tuesday.

I‘m still not sure if GitHub‘s Copilot integration in Xcode makes me „productive“. I feel like it‘s more an annoyance then a help.
