A few weeks ago there was an extended discussion on the future of Objective-C and I linked to a couple of different stories on it. This week Jason Brennan posted a follow up to his original article. He argues that we're not thinking big enough by just considering a replacement for Objective-C and that we need to think of a bigger picture on how we build software in a more modern way. It's a lengthy article but certainly one worth reading, and looking back on in 5 years.
Whether you're looking for a new challenge, or looking to find the next person to strengthen your team. iOS Dev Jobs is where you need to be.
Advice for Software Apprentices
This article from Brian Donohue is solid gold advice if you're just starting out in the industry. Also, if you find yourself in a position where you might be involved in the hiring process, you should also read it. Actually, if you're reading this in any context, set the next 4 minutes aside and go read it. 🚀
Sharing the MongoDB Realm Roadmap
After reading Realm's "The Future is Bright" post as they were acquired by MongoDB followed by silence for almost 6 months, I was starting to get a little nervous that the next post might be an "Our Incredible Journey". This is certainly not that though, and I'm hopeful that Realm will be around for many more years to come.
Automating perfect iOS simulator status bars
I linked to the Jesse Squires' post on the new simctl command last week and I'm linking to his follow up post this week. Why? Well this week's post brings automation in the form of this Nine41 script.
What I really want is for every simulator to start up every time with a perfect status bar. Can I link to a blog post that makes that possible next week please Jesse? 🤞
