After 113 applications, 34 rejections, 8 interviews and no responses from 71 of those applications, I can proudly say that I have finally accepted an offer as a full-time iOS developer @travelbankhq! 🎉 No bachelors degree, no bootcamp, 100% from online resources. I DID IT!!!

I don’t think I want to be primarily an iOS dev anymore after getting into unity game dev. I’m having a lot more fun and it’s definitely more engaging than simply building UI.

When nothing goes to plan in Japan 😂 #shorts #minivlog #hokkaido #artist... youtube.com/shorts/5oGNVRMg6… via @YouTube

Wassup my fellow SWEs! Im probably just tweeting into the void but does anyone have any experience with moving to Japan through finding a dev job? My wife and I are looking to move abroad for a while and I’m just curious about how doable this is

Biggest pet peeve is when api sends me a string value of “true” when it’s supposed to be a bool. I just wasted an hour trying to figure out why an object wasn’t decoding correctly while thinking it was an entirely different issue. 🤦🏻‍♂️

My wife quit nursing to become a full time artist 🎨. She believed in me when I quit school to go learn how to code online, it’s only natural that I do the same for her 🥹. #YOLO youtu.be/7ER6ovMaPsg?si=zStm…

What’s a senior software engineer I? 🧐

Finally got the tattoo that my wife drew and I couldn’t be happier with how it came out 🫶🏼

My wife launched her art business and it mean a lot to her and myself if you could check out her products at etsy.com/shop/ATHartprints! Each piece was hand painted with gouache and she’s selling them as stickers, postcards and individual art prints. Posting some of them below:

I hate April fools day. I wasted 5 minutes of my life watching how to improve Xcode build times and it was just a joke. I should’ve figured. 😐

The most developer-esque answers: - “it depends” - “I believe <insert answer that they’re 90% sure about>

How’s the tech scene in NYC? Thinking about moving here within the next 2 years… 👀

Can’t wait to see the Netflix docuseries on the downfall of FTX. I wonder who they’ll cast as SBF 😂

Okay, ima need y’all to get off ChatGPT so I can use it to generate these unit tests 😂 It writes it halfway then hits me with a network error.

I just had ChatGPT write me two essays on how we’ll be replaced and another one on how we couldn’t. We’re screwed 🥲😂

If you guys haven't given @GitHubCopilot a try, I HIGHLY recommend you give it a chance. It takes the mundane tasks of iOS development out of the equation so you can focus on the higher level things instead. No longer will we have to code out timeFormatters from scratch.

Any iOS developers have any success using GitHub copilot? I’m not exactly sure what the best use case for it is but it seems like it’s a general tool for developers who aren’t familiar with certain frameworks/api’s.
