Holly Borla<p>The Swift language team at Apple is hiring!

Claire Blackshaw<p>I generally follow the rule. Duplicate code until you have at least three examples. Then you can generalise.<br>So many times if you dedupe code which appears in two places that at first looks like the same code you later realise it is different behaviour and make the "general" function much more complex.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@nickappleton/112319859733386927" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mastodon.gamedev.place/@nickap</span><span class="invisible">pleton/112319859733386927</span></a></p>

Nick McGuire<p>Reading code that makes a gnarly check to support some subsets of versions instead of just requiring a minimum version.</p>
Nick McGuire<p>We’re calling to discuss your car’s extended warranty</p>
Miguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉<p>And now the actual iPad screenshots.</p><p>The codebase is mostly SwiftUI + SwiftGodot. </p><p>Out of the new 35,000 lines of Swift code (not including SwiftGodot), less than 300 are UIKit for special things.</p><p>This relies heavily on new iOS 17 Swift and SwiftUI features. </p><p>I would have probably given up on this if it was not for the new SwiftUI observation framework in iOS 17.</p>
Jan Lehnardt :couchdb:<p>I’m software developer with 25+ years of experience and I just spent 45 minutes chasing a - that should be a _. Don’t ever let anyone tell you these types of errors are not normal. ✌️</p>
Nick McGuire<p>It's a sad day to see Rooster Teeth get shuttered by Warner Brothers Discovery. 💔 Watching since the early 00s, it's been a ride and I'm sad to see it go.</p>
sam henri gold<p>little fun fact for PMs considering adding this to their product: if i’m viewing a website in a browser, chances are i want to view the website in a browser. thanks!! 🙏</p>

Holly Borla<p>Let's talk about data race safety in Swift 6!</p><p>The Swift 6 language mode is opt-in; you can continue to use Swift 5 mode with the Swift 6 compiler. You can incrementally refine your code to take advantage of full data isolation at your own pace, module by module. Swift 6 code can depend on libraries using Swift 5 and vice versa.</p><p>If you're not familiar with Swift concurrency and data isolation, that's okay! There's no rush, and the language mode will be there when you're ready to take it on.</p>
