It took so long to understand that @FURY_AWPW embeds the number of the event into their names starting from their second one
- Here 2 Stay (#2)
- Breaking Barriers (B is stylized as I3, #3)
- Brawl 4 Glory (#4)
- VIcious Circle (VI -> 6)
- Lucky Sins (a 7 is used as the L)

Catch me next March in Toronto or online, as a former iOS Developer sharing my experience leading a React Native migration.
From Swift Skeptic to Migration Lead 🧭
What React Native taught @leopyc about being a better iOS Engineer.
Former designer, teacher, & full-stack dev, now Staff Engineer at @zenjobcom.
Catch his talk at React Advanced Canada on March 24 & 26?
I was invited to share our experience about replatforming our separate Android and iOS applications using Expo, read all about in the latest entry of their blog over here
😲 @leopyc loves iOS development. He has a Swift tattoo on his right thigh. And he recently led a migration to @reactnative.
Here are some of the outcomes for @zenjobcom since making the migration:
♢ Feature lead times dropped dramatically, with development cycles shrinking from weeks to days and sometimes even to hours.
♢ Deployment frequency increased by an order of magnitude thanks to over-the-air updates.
♢ Perhaps most significantly, mobile development transformed from a bottleneck to a company-wide capability.
♢ The shared design system improved consistency across platforms while reducing design debt.
♢ From a talent perspective, hiring became easier as we could tap into the larger pool of React and TypeScript engineers.
♢ Engineering satisfaction improved dramatically. Since the migration they haven’t had a single complaint about mobile development.
Drink this one in slowly. Savor the logic the blog below ↓

📚 From Swift tattoo to React Native migration lead: a business-first approach to mobile development
✍️ @leopyc
Even for someone with a Swift tattoo, the business benefits of React Native with Expo are impossible to ignore.

"Why did the Swift developer cross the road?"
Thanks to Swift's powerful libraries, you can call a JSON API and decode the results in just a couple of lines. And thanks to @icanhazdadjoke, there's a bad pun waiting on the other side... #DadJoke
ALT import Foundation struct Joke: Codable { let id: String let joke: String let status: Int } func fetchJoke() async -> Joke { var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://icanhazdadjoke.com/")!) request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept") do { let (data, _) = try await URLSession.shared.data(for: request) return try JSONDecoder().decode(Joke.self, from: data) } catch { // In a real app, you'd do more error handling here. fatalError("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } }
To address the rumors, yes I do know how to fish. No, there is no movie about it.

Wow that's right. This was a big day and Swift has come a long way in the intervening decade: Congrats to everyone who has driven it forward to support such an amazing tech platform! 🍎🐣
