I’ve been using it heavily over the past few days, and honestly, I don’t understand the hype. It doesn’t feel like an upgrade it feels like dealing with an intern who’s too eager to prove themselves and ends up breaking things that were never a problem to begin with.
I’ve recently found myself digging into the state of desktop app development in Rust not as a thought experiment, but because I actually needed to ship something cross-platform and fast. And not some toy CLI or a backend service. I’m talking about real desktop UI: buttons, windows, styling, user interaction, the whole deal.
In the software engineering landscape, one of the most valuable lessons that seasoned engineers learn is that not all projects require the same level of technical excellence. While our academic training often emphasizes achieving perfection, the real world operates under different constraints - time, budget, and human resources all play crucial roles in defining what 'good enough' means for any given project.
In the world of software development, code reviews are a crucial part of the development process. But how do you give and receive feedback effectively? Let's decode the ancient language of code reviews.
Let's dive into the slippery world of data races, a problem that creeps up when threads, those tiny units of concurrent work, clash over the same piece of data. Imagine you’re spinning up multiple threads, each one eager to reach the same target variable like kids racing to hit the last cookie in the jar—each wanting to read, modify, and update a shared value. Without proper control, this leads to chaotic and unpredictable outcomes.
Discover how to supercharge your Swift app's performance with accessor coroutines - the secret weapon for handling large data structures without the memory overhead.
Every so often, a management email arrives that makes developers collectively sigh into their mechanical keyboards: 'We need to discuss improving developer productivity.' And thus begins another cycle of well-intentioned initiatives that accomplish exactly the opposite of their intended purpose.
Swift 5.9 just introduced something that made Rust developers chuckle - noncopyable types. It's like Swift finally admitted that Rust had the right idea all along about controlling how values get passed around in code.
Look, we've all been there - staring at a timestamp like 1703761234 and trying to figure out how to show it as Dec 28, 2023 without writing a mess of string manipulation code. Or dealing with that one PM who insists that file sizes should show as 2.1 GB instead of raw bytes.
In the world of software engineering, there's an ongoing debate about tools that borders on religious fervor. Developers passionately defend their choice of IDE, arguing over shortcuts, plugins, and configurations.
In the world of software development, daily standups are a staple of the daily routine. But what do we actually mean when we say 'no blockers' or 'making good progress'? Let's decode the ancient language of developer standups.
When clean code becomes dirty, it's time to take a step back and ask why. This article explores the pitfalls of over-engineering and provides a framework for deciding when to abstract and when to back off.
It is more than a decade since the first iPhone was introduced. For new developers with no preconception of how CPU architectures historically evolved on Apple platforms it may look cumbersome, official documentation about this topic might namely be incomplete or obscure. The varios types of archituctures as well as their different behaviors can be quite overwhelming. Even for seasoned iOS developers, it can be difficult to figure out how to bring everything together.
The WWDC19 marked the rise of a new era in iOS development. One of the most impactful announcements was SwiftUI a new declarative UI development framework for the whole Apple echo-system. This paradigm shift had its own impact on the Swift itself and pushed it to the spaces, where many new syntaxes have been introduced like property wrappers, opaque return types, result builders etc.
Ever tried to distribute a macOS executable only to be greeted by cryptic dyld errors? You're not alone. Dynamic libraries are fundamental to modern application development, offering code reusability and faster compilation times. However, they can also be a source of frustration when things go wrong. In this guide, we'll demystify dynamic libraries on macOS and solve common deployment challenges.
