Don’t underestimate the value of build tools. Just because you know Xcode and Swift or Android Studio and Kotlin (or their antecedent languages) are you done. Finally having a senior dev who knows what he’s talking about has done more for me in the past two years than the previous 8 of reading blog posts and hacking. He’s shown me the real value of build scripts. Today even my personal iOS projects are dependent on a combination of Swift, Ruby, YAML, and Kotlin to build. It’s complicated to set up but I can prove that my code works.
- ismail-khan 7y agoWould you mind elaborating on how build scripts helped you (what problem did you solve?) and sharing learning resources?
- ronsor 7y ago>...dependent on a combination of Swift, Ruby, YAML, and Kotlin to build. It’s complicated to set up... Can you elaborate on this? It just sounds like you have unnecessary complexity.
- Lich 7y agoCan you explain more? I'd like to learn more about this.
