Writing about iOS development, software architecture, and engineering management. Learn Swift Concurrency at

[Srđan Stanić @srstanic]

Years of building, researching, and iterating on iOS application architectures condensed into a single white paper. This is a document I would love to have had when I first started developing iOS applications. Download it here: https://t.co/FICQNCB3lX #iOS #iosdev

@FloWritesCode I mean, what is the benefit of embracing it?

[Srđan Stanić @srstanic]

@FloWritesCode Quite a list! Thanks for sharing. Can you expand on this one:
Generally embrace SwiftUI for the app lifecycle even when using UIKit/AppKit for core navigation/structure

[Srđan Stanić @srstanic]

Here is one I recommend, also because it has a bunch of other tools I can't live without (like snippets, window manager, calculator + currency converter, restart macbook): https://t.co/zAtYmJgzFw

I recently experienced working on a freshly installed and fully locked down Macbook, which made me realize how many different tools I use to be more productive.

One of them is a clipboard manager. Do you use a clipboard manager on your Macbook?

[Srđan Stanić @srstanic]

As a software engineer, you must be shuffling code around the whole day, and a clipboard history will make a hell of a difference.

I'm sure this is common knowledge for my designer friends, but it might surprise my engineer friends.

[Srđan Stanić @srstanic]

I've been taking a digital design course recently, and it has been eye-opening. It's the small details that make all the difference. Here is an example.

[Srđan Stanić @srstanic]

When aligning a rectangular shape and a circular shape, make the circular shape a bit bigger than the rectangular shape so that the circular shape crosses the line of the edges of the rectangular shape. It will make the two elements seem more aligned. 👀🧠

@fedesimio Amazing! Thanks! To improve discoverability, I suggest considering adding a "Customize navigation" option as the last item of the More menu.

[Srđan Stanić @srstanic]

@fedesimio, longtime user of Evernote here (17 years). Hiding the Shortcuts within the tab bar's More menu kind of defeats the purpose of *Shortcuts*. There is plenty of room on the home screen.

[Srđan Stanić @srstanic]

@fedesimio The "My Evernote" title brings me no value and can be placed in the navigation bar. I don't really need Evernote to tell me the date. And the New Note/Task buttons occupy way too much space. But I would love to access Shortcuts in one click. Please, and thank you :)

[Srđan Stanić @srstanic]

@RaajeevChandran I'm glad to hear it worked out for you, too! I would expect it to be quite a common struggle.

[Srđan Stanić @srstanic]

Hey everyone! I wrote a post about why I (almost) never subclass UITableViewCell or UICollectionViewCell classes. I’m curious whether this is a common practice? I’ve actually rarely seen it in production, but would love to see it more often.

I think you want your work to be as close to or as far from AI as possible.

[Srđan Stanić @srstanic]

Users don't care about clean code. They care about working software that supports their use cases. Clean code is what allows the engineering team/person to keep adding improvements to the software over time without breaking existing functionality.

[Srđan Stanić @srstanic]

@laprea_marcelo yes, I want this! It’s been on my “ideas“ list for years!

[Srđan Stanić @srstanic]

@codeiumdev this thing of yours is becoming a smart-ass! And the worst part is that it's not wrong 😄
