Jiji. I named him after the cat in Kiki’s Delivery Service from Studio Ghibli!

Did you steal my cat?!

I’m confused about “FinTech Engineer”. I’m a Software Engineer for a FinTech company… does that count 🤔

Threads didn’t seem to bring a lot of iOS folk together. I’m hoping Bluesky is different!

These vibrations are ran through a model that also uses the GPS’s last known location and train schedule to determine where you are underground with a 90% accuracy. This is one of the most impressive features I’ve read about in mobile engineering. Amazing

Yeah. They use React Native for web also! I learned this through @pragmaticengineer.com.

It’ll be interesting to see how it grows and if they encounter any pitfalls. But so far so good!

Did you turn it on and off?

What was even better was when I had a process that used NSImage for some editing that was slow, and when I asked it to refactor the functions to use CoreImage, it worked like a charm.

Regardless, you typically have to be quite specific in what you ask for. It’s like becoming good at googling again

React Native falls into the 2nd category. It can also target web, meaning that the same code (more or less) can be used for Android, iOS, and a web app.

Each methodology has its pros, cons, nuances, etc.

It’s a SDK (software development kit) to build apps. To build a mobile app, there are two common approaches:

1. Building it “natively”. So using a first party SDK provided by the developer of the OS.

2. Building it “cross-platform”. So using a third party SDK that targets both Android and iOS.

It behaves really snappy and nice on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. If I recall correctly, it’s also built with Expo + React Native — which in my experience doesn’t usually have this level of snappiness and polish! Props to them.
