It’s much much better than Xcode for autocomplete, code highlighting and refactoring. It’s just a better swift editor than Xcode basically. Disclaimer: I’m a long time IntelliJ user so I find the environment more comfortable in general, not

I’ve been writing a new project in Flutter and so far it’s been dramatically faster than writing an app with either of the native SDKs. The issue you mention here is the key downside though. For example, as far as I know there is no map com

Great list. The only thing that I might take issue with is #5: "5. Every decision must be made extremely carefully. Bad decisions cost money." Taking too much time on decisions is a good way to kill a new company. Many, if not mos

I agree with everything you said, except for the part where you said JavaScript was "designed".

As I get older it gets much much harder to feel stupid at something new when you know what it feels like to be very good at something else. This I feel is the key reason people stop picking up new skills, it feels miserable to be back at a

I have been trying out Flutter over the past week or so and so far it really has delivered on high speed build-edit loops. I've already gotten in the habit of improving layouts while the app is running, it's really a great experie

Perhaps I can give you some perspective from... the future. I've been doing what you're doing for about 20 years now, and have worked on (mainly with one other partner) probably 100 things? Some were full blown companies, some wer

The project seems really interesting but I'm struggling to understand what the key benefits would be over other frameworks (Rails, Node, etc.) Related question: Is multi-threading accomplished via these Isolates, or is there a threadin

Please just make a 15" model with a full keyboard! I can live with the rest of it but it's going to be miserable trying to program missing all those keys.

Just because Facebook is big and supports something isn't necessarily a good thing. Their goals, resources and accepted trade-offs aren't likely the same as your own. For a large company like Facebook, handling large changes to a

Came here to recommend spectacle too. I basically only use the keyboard shortcuts to send windows to the left half, or right half of the screen. If you hit them again it does 2/3rds or 1/3rds of that side of the screen which is he

I think I agree with you. Most databases these days get adopted by being open source, or pretty inexpensive for hobby projects. That lets engineers experiment with them, get comfortable and then recommend them for a major project. I'm

And in my case, there are no IT employees at all. For some reason there is budget available to buy the hardware and none to maintain it. This is changing slowly but for the moment it's the unfortunate reality. So it's up to teache

A couple personal anecdotes related to this: I volunteer at a school to help maintain around 300 iPads and ~20 iMacs. It's awful. (I am a longtime Mac user at home BTW). The management tools around updating the iPads, installing apps,

Delimiter seems like an interesting option and I haven't seen them mentioned much before. Their S3 compatible storage looks really good too, price wise at least. Anyone else have experience with them?

This is the other thing that people say when we talk about Swift stability. "It's a work in progress." Apple certainly isn't giving this impression anymore. 1) Apple now has most code examples in Swift. 2) Most talks at

Yes I know that's what Swift 3 was trying to do, that's what I don't agree with. In my opinion the tradeoffs are just not worth it. Whatever happened to graceful deprecation of older language features an APIs? They invalidate

I don't think it's considered a problem by the team at Apple, or even by some developers, but I would love a more stable Swift language. The number of changes per version * the number of projects in the world is causing a large am
