An under-discussed topic: how the hottest software engineering job of the early 2010s is seeing a steady but ongoing decline the last few years.
I'm talking about the native iOS and Android positions. Outside of Big Tech, few startups/scaleups hire for this. Since ~2022?
I just vibe coded a whole iOS app in Swift (without having programmed in Swift before, though I learned some in the process) and now ~1 hour later it's actually running on my physical phone. It was so ez... I had my hand held through the entire process. Very cool.
Just combined @OpenAI o1 and Cursor Composer to create an iOS app in under 10 mins!
o1 mini kicks off the project (o1 was taking too long to think), then switch to o1 to finish off the details.
And boom—full Weather app for iOS with animations, in under 10 🌤️
Video sped up!
“Swift, the original idea was factor complexity (…) massively failed, in my opinion (…) Swift has turned into a gigantic, super complicated bag of special cases, special syntax, special stuff”
lesson learned from Chris Lattner on Swift
ChatGPT for Mac is a fully native macOS app. Not Electron. Not even Catalyst. This was a heroic effort by the team, and the result looks beautiful, if I may say so myself.
And now I can finally say: we’re hiring for amazing macOS and Windows engineers! 🧑💻👩💻 My DMs are open.
We are hiring on iOS & backend positions. If you are not scared by a wide scope, high intensity, AAA standards, and extreme attention to what can generate user love, please reach out!

On this special #WWDC22 episode of the podcast, I had the true pleasure of talking to @AirspeedSwift from Apple - about Swift 5.7, generics, concurrency, the road to Swift 6, and how Apple is using Swift in 2022! 😀
Hope you'll enjoy the episode! 👍

Haha! All SwiftUI Text. No UIKit. Supports NSAttributedString (font and color) and of course Zalgo. The clipping of some of the extreme diacritics seems to be a SwiftUI bug (FB7497447).
Still cleaning it up, but it works! :D https://t.co/Aqh20ZAxvH
