More Vibe Coding ...

Over the week end, I wrote two MCP Servers with #swiftlang. One is able to search the Apple Music catalog and the second controls my Sonos system at home.

I used Amazon Q Developer CLI, it wrote close to 100% of the code for me. For each server, it wrote a reusable library, a CLI, and a MCP Tool.

I also worked on a MCPServerKit library, to make it easy for developers to write MCP Servers in Swift.

What are you going to build today ?

@swiftui @swift Exciting News! Just dropped Part 37 of my "Let's Build Pinterest clone Using SwiftUI and “firebase” playlist! Dive deeper into Swift development as we take our app to the next level. Check it out now and let's code together! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiU9ryUG4f8 #swiftui #swift #swiftlang #iosdev #ios18 #iOS

The #swiftlang new testing framework is looking to be worth the refactoring of swiftly and its test suite for the speed of the parallel testing. The test scoping traits, and parameterized testing significantly reduce the nested blocks in the test cases too for easier reading.

One of the things about #swiftlang that I struggle with is forgetting about some of the awesome features.

For example, I can just extend a type with new static constants, and then I can use “.newConstant” anywhere that accepts that type. This also works with array literals, which is super handy at function call sites.

If you have an untyped array literal, only the first element needs to have the fully qualified constant. Then the rest can use the inferred type.

let arr = [Color.beige, .blue, .red]

loving the swift community rally around #swiftlang as the main hashtag for the language itself. it is so hard sifting through taylor swift and the financial network to engage with yall

i think #swiftlang and platform would be cool to see too like #swiftlang #linux

spread the word :)

This is so fucking stupid. #XCode #SwiftLang #iOS

With the Swift 6.1 release I read all about concurrency, and it seems pretty straightforward to me.

Seriously, though, it does make sense in theory. Now I'll have to put it into practice and see what kind of trouble that causes.

A high DIT (Depth of Inheritance Tree) suggests deep inheritance chains.

Bad? Not always! But if it’s too deep, maintenance suffers and it's hard to understand what a class is doing.

Sw!ftalyzer helps you find and navigate long inheritance chains! #CodeQuality #swiftlang #swift

Just one week away! Next Thursday April 10th we're back at Lyft for another night of #SwiftLang and #iOSDev community.

Be sure to RSVP if you haven't already.

These two linked-to methods have identical signatures, even though they're different. The first link is to onChange with "action: @escaping ()" and the second is to "action: @escaping (V, V)".

Seems DocC has some deficiencies...
