"Build a balance bike, not training wheels." Doug Gregor's Swift Craft talk describes Swift's progressive disclosure: start with the simple stuff, reach for the advanced stuff when you need it, and never have to throw out what you've learned.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Yesterday I've tried to use Gemini voice mode and in the middle of the sentence it's stopped, and said "I can't continue do British accent anymore, can I continue with American one?".

wth? 😅

Finished reviewing the copyedit of the book. Copyeditor did a great job fixing grammar and making it flow better. But it turns out that going through a 650-page PDF with about 5,000 marked-up edits, and carefully reviewing every one, is about as much fun as it sounds

For the 16th episode of Dev Conversations, Moritz Lang joins us to talk about Swift OTel and observability.

We explore how Distributed Tracing fit alongside logs and metrics, completing the 3 pillars of observability, and why they matter in real systems.
