async / await is such a cool feature of Swift! But its apparent simplicity can be deceiving: there's a lot of room for mistakes and bad practices 😩 In this video I want to share 3 mistakes you definitely want to avoid when using async / await 😌

⁦@NMBS⁩ te laat en 5 ipv 9 voertuigen op spitsuur naar Antwerpen. Ongezien. Ah ja en dan ook te laat komen. Wat zijn de vooruitzichten op verbetering?

You always ask me, why I use #swift for backends. Answer: Because it’s soooo cheap to run, having low memory footprint. Running under 30 MB of RAM it fits a lot of these in just a 1 AWS instance. I would have to pay 10x more for Java / Spring. And it’s type safe. #vapor #swift

Very interesting read how Safari in contrast to Swift has no public bug reporting. I hope the swift evolution process comes to Webkit, less discussions at work. Looks like a grate first step! [Safari 16.4 Is An Admission - Infrequently Noted](infrequently.org/2023/02/saf…)

It’s exciting to see folks talking about implementing web push for their web apps! Be sure to create an interface that lets your users take the first step — to gesture they want to get notifications. Like a subscribe button. It’s up to *them* to opt in. webkit.org/blog/13878/web-pu…

What's holding you back from using @codevapor In this episode with @mikaela__caron we chatted about different backend options but there's something really nice about building a full stack swift app. brightdigit.com/episodes/127…

One thing I love about working on @medium is that it’s not ad-driven. You succeed by delivering a product that people think is worth paying for. If you don’t, they’ll stop paying. Click bait and dark patterns are bad for your business. Capturing all the user’s time is not a goal.

Great post about protocol conformances, why they were slow before iOS 16, and some arcane tricks to improve app startup times. emergetools.com/blog/posts/h…

Excited to launch areweserveryet.org today! 🎉 Heavily inspired by Rust’s Are We Web Yet site, we hope to grow it into a solid resource for showcasing Swift on the Server and a comprehensive collection of packages to use.
