I'm a freelancer by day and a indie hacker by night. I write about Apple and Swift development on Cocoacasts.

Meditation isn’t just what happens on the cushion. Presence is how you show up in daily life.

This is wild. Apple is asking users to turn off Subscription Renewal Emails - right inside 3rd party developers apps… RIGHT AFTER A PURCHASE. This makes it feel entirely like the developer is asking to have notifications disabled instead of Apple! Bad Apple! Really doesn’t sit well with this “we’ll notify you your trial ends” trend.

If you've ever conformed a reference type to the Equatable or Hashable protocols by using each field of the type, be warned that is very, very wrong! There really is only one sensible conformance, and that is to use the class's referential identity: pointfree.co/episodes/ep299-…

The language used by these HR zombies gives me PTSD. That’s what hell sounds like. Hats off to Brittany for having the courage to record the sound of corporate jails.

VSCode is the only app you want to keep your tabs open. That's how GitHub Copilot knows your code. Got this tip from @melvynx 💡

Making the choice to "stop waiting" is one of the most important decisions you can make. "Waiting" for the promotion, the opportunity, or the next step to show itself. Be impatient. Take action. Make something great happen for yourself.

Fascinating article from @sivers → sive.rs/pnt "We think of the past like it’s a physical fact - like it’s real. But the past is what we call our memory and stories about it. Imperfect memories, and stories built on one interpretation of incomplete information. That’s “the past”.

Every now and then, I keep reminding myself about this note. Woke up this morning, and the wave was good, I went surfing the whole morning 🏄‍♂️ Going full-time indie has been the best decision I've made!

State management in SwiftUI has changed completely. It is Combine-free now and uses the new Observation framework instead. buff.ly/3MSlwV1
