@iosmayank How come?

[Steph Smith @stephsmithio]

$500 online course? Can’t afford!
$500 phone upgrade? Can’t resist!

$20 productivity app? Too pricey!
$20 cocktail? Too easy!

Daily exercise: No time!
Daily Netflix: No prob!

Invest in your brain, your body, and your community. Not much else matters at the end of the day.

1/ The first 18 months of a startup:

After starting my 2nd company in 2019, I decided I would write down useful lessons I learned or re-learned along the way. Some were hard-earned & others required steady focus. A thread that I hope may help other founders starting out 👇

@krstnfx Congrats!

@MattHeaney23 Do you use spring for backend?

[James kim @jameskimzz]

I hope the covid situation will end soon. It started to affect the quality of my life heavily that affects the quality of code..

[I Am Devloper @iamdevloper]

First; work hard and say yes to everything.

Then; work smarter and say no to most things.

New xcode build time is awfully longer than that with previous version. Why does it have to get worse over time?:(

[James kim @jameskimzz]

As time goes on, Xcode is getting unstable and buggy. So buggy that it actually badly effects productivity:(

I've been working on my blog website, as I've been learning html, css, and javascript. It's been much easiler than I thought and simpler to draw elements than iOS development!

Hey Devs, try coding with speaking as if you are explaining the audience live.
You will feel more focused and productive🎯

Inspiration: the schooling days method of reading out loud the books📖.

Me Everytime people ask me if I'm happy with my job. Define happy

[bruce @boo]

Me to an engineer at the office today: are we having fun?
Engineer: define fun

Well, the funny thing about the software development is we, as developers, will eventually figure out how to solve problems no matter how time is given. The quality of answer might be better, if longer time is secured.

Want to see something *really cool*? 😀

Since SwiftUI views are just plain old structs, they can easily be made Codable, which means that a view hierarchy can be decoded directly from JSON! 🤯

This is backend-driven UIs in <100 lines of code. Will publish all of it very soon 🚀

[James kim @jameskimzz]

SwiftUI is amazing! But so many stuffs to learn:(

[James kim @jameskimzz]

@mennenia You might disagree with laws but then who has rights to make laws for people out there? Only people involved in situations?

[James kim @jameskimzz]

The possible deal breaker about SwiftUI is the minimum OS version being 13 which is too high for most of companies out there. I wish it was as low as iOS 10 or 11:( it should be done in personal projects for time being.

@DanielleD_Dev Congrats!
