Do I know anyone who works with Swift at @nytimes.com? Especially someone who works with the GitHub org `nytimes`. I'm having an issue adding one of your packages to Swift Package Index. Could you drop me an email at contact@swiftpackageindex.com and I'll send details.

My client office is in Palo Alto so have been eating and hanging out in the few places open in Los Altos. Just got an uber into Mountain View, dang wish someone told me about this place at the start of the trip!

In #SwiftUI we have a convenient way to set a view's background to a shape, like a capsule or rounded rectangle, using the background(_:in:) modifier.

This works great when we need to place a single shape behind a view: nilcoalescing.com/blog/SetASha...

If you know anyone who recently got their first iOS dev job and you think they might be interested in sharing their story with @iosdevhappyhour.com could you let me know?

It's challenging to find those people now!

Lets see if this site is a great at finding talented developers as that dead bird site used to be.

Had the worst interview yesterday, Staff engineer role, 3rd round. They pitched it as a sample sprint in a day. Meet the team, discuss a problem, write stories, pair, present results.

Weird intro post: I was laid off last Friday! I’m an iOS/visionOS/React Native dev, UX designer, and I've been Product Director and Tech Lead. I’ve created lots of apps featured by Apple and others, some with millions of users. I’ve led a successful consulting firm. Know people doing awesome work?
