Half Byte

Talks about software engineering and iOS development. Or about anything that comes to mind. Love engaging in tech related talks

[Half Byte @_Half_Byte_]

Journey from junior dev to senior dev requires learning and upskilling. Things that you need to learn

- SOLID principle
- Protocol Oriented Programming
- TDD
- Design Patterns and when to use which?
- App architecture pattern and how to use in project.

@everton_dev I am thinking more focus would be on upgrading visionOS based frameworks, maybe swiftui and other upgrades

[Half Byte @_Half_Byte_]

@No_Wham I guess only if there is legacy code, haven't seen objective c being used in months to be honest

[Half Byte @_Half_Byte_]

@programmerByDay Depends on use case... if it's one off, then you could consider using switch or ifs, but generally considering the cases could increase, they couldn't be made flexible enough using this strategy.

@anumness Good knowledge of investment, i guess. If I could invest properly and grow my money then it would be easier to take "less secure" job in a startup

[Half Byte @_Half_Byte_]

@VishalMalvi_ Well it all started with "are you an engineer'

[Half Byte @_Half_Byte_]

@ziademarcus They are CEO for a reason, that's enough to earn them respect.

[Half Byte @_Half_Byte_]

@ElantraMan Yep it's good just keep in mind if you really need to return the result or not

[Half Byte @_Half_Byte_]

@VishalMalvi_ Well how is the finger placement

[Half Byte @_Half_Byte_]

@VishalMalvi_ Don't really hate any language, but I am a bit exasperated when using non-typesafe languages

[Half Byte @_Half_Byte_]

@v_pradeilles @proxyman_app I use proxyman, it's quite handy. But I still don't understand how it's different from charles

[Half Byte @_Half_Byte_]

@NirajTiwari_ Structs are less about hashable and equitable but more about being a value types
Are data classes value type as well?

Do you do PR reviews?

I used to think PR reviews are for experts. I don't know enough to review PRs

But I realised, it's not just about pointing out bad code,

I will also learn about other areas of codebase that I generally don't touch.

@emildzwonek Honestly the best metric, in my opinion, comes from user analytics.

@ios_dev_alb Hi

[David Steppenbeck @dsteppenbeck]

After updating to use the string catalog I have to say it's actually pretty nice.

I like the status markers. Makes it clear exactly which strings need attention after adding new strings or editing strings. Also automatically marks them as "Stale" if there's a key in your catalog that isn't found in code so you can tidy up.

And it's now super easy to vary by platform and pluralize. Made me realize that some of my strings needed more appropriate versions for Mac (tap vs click).

@L0NKLY @andrwturk Yeah thread safety can either be handled internally in singletons or let others control it. At your own risk.

[Half Byte @_Half_Byte_]

Do you love Singleton Pattern?

No right?

Singletons are the most misused and misunderstood patterns of all time. There are too many people criticizing it just because they don't implement in proper use case

They are good if single state is a requirement.

Don't hate them
