I've found that a "rough draft" is pretty hard to maintain as a "draft," when you have a typical tech manager. Instead, it becomes "final ship" code. I tend to write ship code from the start, but do so, in a manner that allows a lot of…

I'm really big on accessibility support. The demographic that I Serve tends to have a statistically higher level of challenges than your average audience. One trick that I'm doing, in the app that I'm working on now, is that I have a…

I've found that I need to support localization from the very start. I never display a quoted string. I always use Apple's tokenization (or create my own, if doing server code). Apple has terrific support for localization, which puts the…

Found it, but it's not what I need. I need a target to be a playground; not a project. The idea is to be able to assign resources, files, and SPM modules to a playground, so they are available to the code running in the playground (an…

Yes, and I'm glad for it. Not sure if it's "ready for prime time," yet (it sounds like it may still be too "nascent" for me), but I'll have to see if I can use it to tweak stuff like this[0]: var md5: String { // The reason we are…

I often incorporate snippets; some from SO, some from SomeRandomDudesMessyBlog.io I have a rule, though: I never add code, unless I understand it 100%, and I often make tweaks to adjust it to my immediate needs. One of my best thefts was a…

> I think one should definitely try to make code pieces as modular as possible Absolutely. That's the key. Modules and layers; each with its own project identity and lifecycle. loose-coupling, minimal APIs, and reevaluation phases at the…
