There's no way you think Apple is miles ahead on async programming and ORMs, the iOS community has been clamoring for replacements for both for years and there's _plenty_ of web libraries for both. The rest looks like it's fo

It's not quite that simple, OP is right, pace on Swift improvement slowed to a crawl for 3? years now as they played whack-a-mole with type inference and got to stable ABI. It was only supposed to take a year, and, it's utterly __

Maybe I'm conflating 'web framework' with 'anything that compiles down to JS'? It's impossible for me to think of areas where iOS dev felt miles ahead, but I can imagine if I was writing JS I'd feel that w

React Native, Android Java, Android Kotlin, Flutter, Jetpack Compose - Flutter is the runaway winner, in general - ARC looks like a mistake in retrospect - you trade 'GC overhead' for memory leaks - keeping autolayout _and_ absolu

He's right. The tone sounds histrionical because it is way ahead of the herd's perception. It's been terrifying to have feet in multiple communities, have a strong foot in Apple's community, and see how things are done o

We do, but, it's mostly because we were raised on it and have a lot of ingroup memes for discrediting other options - my company forcing me to work outside iOS for the first time in several years was a real eye-opener. I don't thi

You should, it was the best decision I ever made - comfort and simplicity of writing ObjC (Dart) with an _amazing_ UI toolkit (that hopefully SwiftUI will eventually be if/when it grows up)

Last time I was in mountain view they were maybe 40-50% full, even by the 'main' campus - also they have a ton of free bikes to ride around, very rarely did I see Uber or Lyft (your point is well taken)

Exactly - development began in 2014, it was acquired in 2014, games against Sodol were March 2016. (I'm somewhat cheating here, so it's unfair, but I gotta tell you it's a real headscratcher having a stranger explain this to

It doesn't appear that's true, unfortunately - there's no takedown or article :/ As he notes, it was essentially the Streisand effect.

If my brother tried to sleep with my wife and I couldn't forgive him, there's no reason to worry myself with telling him that when I'm alive. Not everything is worth talking about or forgivable, in my experience, people unive

We spent so many years hearing it trickles down that we didn't realize how inherently backwards it really is - why would anything trickle down into actual purchases, they're always asset price pumps

Not to mention Sweden is more locked down than the US - _0_ gatherings over 50 people allowed. 0. I'm astounded there's still people doing the 'debate me!' act about it, most gave up by July in the US, we had already cle

If it is, I'm leaving my FAANG role for Netflix - it's very refreshing to hear people might be motivated by larger causes. Most of my last week was spent trying to avoid fallout from our team's massively skewed performance re

Choosing to be militantly ignorant in service of dogma over math has consequences all the time, not just when you're the Feds trying to get 'child porn' laws passed to make Apple break encryption.
