I’m not a compiler engineer, but rearranging the order Swift compiles generated code made it >2x faster. What’s stopping the Swift compiler itself from doing this? https://github.com/apple/swift-openapi-generator/pull/866

RE: @ctp@mastodon.social

Similarly, the single biggest thing Apple could do to unlock AI development for iOS is to build a robust CLI to drive iOS Simulators and devices. AXe and Appium based solutions are way too flaky, only Apple can do this reliably.

It’s hard to quantify the impact that Square has had on the Android ecosystem. Huge.

I was laid off from Lyft today, so I'm looking for work!
If you're hiring remote or in Montreal, hit me up.
12 years iOS experience, 9 years Swift.
I've worked on low level stuff (networking & databases), product stuff (built transit, bikes & scooters into Lyft), tooling stuff, open source stuff and lots of other stuff.

I’m not exactly keen to give Meta any of my attention. It’s been about 10 years since I’ve deleted my Instagram and Facebook accounts because of all the creepy privacy-invading crap they pull.

If a sizeable portion of the iOS dev community moves to Thread, I’ll probably begrudgingly join, but I hope that won’t happen.
