I have been watching your progress on Stocketa and as an experienced iOS engineer who uses SwiftUI at work, I have been amazed by the speed with which you were able to build the app. The fact that you were able to ship a real app (with custom graph and polished animations) really speaks to how accessible SwiftUI is to new developers compared to UIKit.

I work for mid size company with a fairly big app with millions of users and we did a complete re-write of the app in SwiftUI and I can say with confidence that once a SwiftUI view layer is built out, building features on top of that is incredibly fast compared to UIKit.

I don't use my AirPods Max below 25% charge anymore because I'm scared of being startled by the ridiculously loud noise. I can't believe this passed Apple's QA.

Thanks for posting this Chris, I've always wondered this about people in your position who could arguably get top positions at any top tech company of choice but choose to work on teaching instead. I can't tell you how much I appreciate objc.io, I still go back the issues from 2013-2015 for reference. Keep up the good work!

Thank you! Yeah I really do enjoy my work. I’m not sure what it’d be like working in such a position, and I'm not sure I’d be good at it :).
