This really speaks to me. I teach SwiftUI to people. I've written books and teach classes. The books don't work nearly as well (because many people just read it instead of actually practicing SwiftUI). The classes I teach ("w

oh yes, absolutely! I have a system that works well for me. But it's inherent to plain text files that they don't support attachments. It's plain text, after all.

In thinking a bit more, I think the biggest pain point for me is one with plain text in general: it supports no attachments. I have my own system to refer to specific files and built a Mac app that lets me drop a file on a transaction, then

I've been using ledger (ledger-cli) from the moment I first became self employed (almost twenty years ago). While far from perfect, I'm very happy about it. It's nice that everything is in plain text, which means that I can s

Other people know a lot more about this, but IIRC Unison has some ideas that go in this direction: https://www.unison-lang.org

Thank you! Yeah I really do enjoy my work. I’m not sure what it’d be like working in such a position, and I'm not sure I’d be good at it :).

I'm very happy with my career. We run a small website teaching advanced iOS development (objc.io). We write books and make videos. I run it with my co-founder and that's basically it. We have some really good people we work with,

Hi HN! We're launching a new Mac app today, Narrated. It lets you create screen recordings that include your webcam. We built this app in Cocoa and SwiftUI. Cocoa lets us use all the APIs we need, whereas building (most of) the UI in S

We wrote the Swift Talk backend in it. It’s mostly fine, but some parts are still buggy on Linux. For us, there were two or three bugs that took a few hours each (over the course of a few months of development). Apart from that, I loved Swi

Interesting. Amazon is a bit unpredictable with pricing. The advantage of the digital edition is that you will get updates whenever we change something. We've done that for the past 1.5 years with the Functional Swift book =).

The other comment in this thread explains it really well. Another point of view: Apple's book is targeted at all sorts of developers, from complete novices to people who've written ObjC for two decades. We target advanced develope
