We just said goodbye to my kid's great grandmother. They knew her very well and treated her like a their regular grandma. When my eldest son was just under 1 year old he met his great-great grandmother (who died shortly after meeting him at 105). I think me and my wife's parents will live to see their great grand children. It's not too far fetched to imagine.

> - You are required to take your holidays. Your employer can get in serious trouble if you don't, so "leaving vacations days unused" almost doesn't exist. Some systems allow you to transfer your extra legal holidays to next year, but the base 20 you basically have to take every year.

I think I understand the rationale behind this. Basically people should take some rest every now and then. Personally, I consider this a violation of my freedom to work however I like. I like to work and usually I take just a few days off per year so I can, for example, visit the dentist without being stressed out to miss a work-related meeting. 20 days is basically an entire month of work. So people there work only 11/12 per year.
Not OP but do you know of any? Several years ago I was considering switching jobs and hired an independent. I could have done much better than the product they eventually gave to me.
What will be very cool will be making it feasible for non-technical folks to easily stand up servers and make federation much more of a dark forest model. I was hoping this was the direction Mozilla would take when they invested in building with Mastadon. Essentially, it should be possible to have social tooling in a Wordpress-like ecosystem where developers can create different modules and plug-ins, where people can charge for hosting, building out instances, etc but the code itself is FOSS, and where we can use decentralized experiments to learn what we actually want as far as social tech goes, not just emulate existing platforms with feeds and vanity metrics.

It's reassuring to know that I'm not alone (so presumably it's not just because I'm a terrible developer), but disheartening at the same time because who knows when things will improve?

I'm in an ok situation financially (no mortgage, earning a little bit doing AI training) so have the freedom to develop a couple apps of my own. This is something I've wanted to do for ages, but they're a long way from making any kind of money.

> No it doesn't. It just says that if you're good at your job, you'll get promoted.

Respectfully, that's exactly what it says. Why else would someone get promoted "until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent" if one's competence increases with a promotion? e.g. Some people are intuitively better at managing people than they are at programming.

The ATS stuff in particular is a real pain, and I wonder how much of that is companies overtuning their application process instead of adapting to the realities of a remote workforce.

Javascript's one is a little bit different in that you are renaming the destructured variable - it's not a function-specific thing - whereas Swift's version is a property of the function.

e.g.

const user = {id: "123"};
const { id } = user; // This extracts the `id` field
const { id: userId } = user; // This also extracts the `id` field, but renames it to userId
console.log(userId)

Why are SSO and mobile pay not standard interfaces that anybody can build a provider for? Why is there "Login with Google" or "Login with Apple" instead of "Login with [my default configured SSO provider]". Or "Pay with [my default configured pay provider]"

Even worse, many times vendors/sites only support a subset of these providers, making SSO not really SSO at all.

I'm sure the reasons are out there, but I haven't researched it in-depth. It seems to me there should be a common agreed upon spec that all vendors adhere to. If not, it will probably be legislated to this standard sometime in the future
Raise your standards, review your soft skills, review your technical skills, your self-marketing strategy, all of it.

> It's disturbing because while all these people were out partying and having fun, I was teaching myself coding. Now they're all getting paid more than me.

I'm sorry, but this statement is telling. Take some personal responsibility: the job market is much different today, and successfully navigating it without generational wealth takes a set of skills that you must develop.

A sister comment recommended a resume review, but I would suggest going further and looking into mock interview services where you can get honest feedback about your interview skills. I find interview/interpersonal skills to often be the choke point for many individuals who have a hard time navigating the market and don't know why.

I used one who has since retired. She was pricey but worth it. Also she had no programming experience. At first I was in denial of her feedback, but after applying it, saw immediate results.

Anyways unfortunately no, but look on LinkedIn and ask for references.
I really like the struct-based method of modeling data in Swift. The language makes this very convenient. Unfortunately the new Observation framework which is at the center of SwiftUI requires classes.

>I can distinctly remember it hitting me like a bus that I was now wholly responsible for a human.

the problem of course being that some individuals never hit upon that realization -- and the statistics regarding the matter make it look like that revelation is more likely to come to an individual who is older, financially secure, and mentally well.

> It’s harder when you are older, but I’m financially better off so they can have things I couldn’t afford in my 20s.

I'm a second child with after a large age-gap. My brother was born when my mother was 16, I was born twenty years later. My parents routinely told me how much harder it was with my brother -- lack of cash and profession, the party lifestyle that comes with youth and college-life, constant moving for opportunity and cheaper housing, and an overall lack of time to dedicate to the kid due to the instability and struggle to keep afloat financially.

I was born at a time of great stability for them. They had professions, they could make their own schedules. They had time to participate in my schooling and extracurricular stuff. I had good food, good toys, good clothing, and a stable house. They let me voice my decisions because they had the time and freedom to consider options other than pure survival. I was told that I was the 'easy' one -- not because of my personality but because "The 70s sucked.", which is code for "We were young, poor, un-established and struggling."

So, after the anecdote I feel compelled to ask : Why do you think it is harder when you're older? You have more money, you have the power of flexibility within your scheduling that allows for participation in your childrens' growth and development -- is it simply a 'strength of youth' kind of thing?

I have no kids, I have no plans for them, so I ask just as a curiosity. The opinion varies wildly from person to person, and I think it's fascinating what kind of 'diversity of parenting' exists.

Everyone's life is completely different, and their choices are their own. It seems you made the right choice for yourself, and I hope your kids agree.

I will say though, I think there's a chicken and egg element in this line of thinking.

A part of my thinks that being childless in twenties provides space that facilitates being a basket-case.

I think that having a child immediately makes most people at least 50% more responsible, and 85%+ within a year.

Again, there's a huge range here for people who:
- Never get better
- Their 85%+ still isn't really responsible enough.

Unfortunately, that's literally genocide.

I did, I got advice from a HR professional, cleaned up my resume, combined my contracting positions into a single 'freelancing' role. Wrote an excellent cover letter, formatted. There's something off about the whole thing. My resume is stellar. Everyone who sees this tells me so. I know founders of companies who exited for millions of dollars and even they can't help me because their acquiring company doesn't let them hire me on a measly contract. People around me, including other developers cannot believe what is happening to me. I feel like I'm being gaslit by everyone. Even some of my family members are turning into conspiracy theorists.

FWIW I very much enjoyed using SwiftUI once I got the hang of it!

I'd been out of iOS dev for a good long while, and was still thinking in UIKit and Obj-C.

Overall I've found SwiftUI to be the most productive and enjoyable declarative framework and developer experience I've used!

To be fair my experience is limited to React and Flutter, but still, Apple have done a rather excellent job IMHO!

YMMV :-)
Often, no. This is serious work being carried out by adults that need to come together. There is no replacement for the water cooler yet. I made the decision to explicitly seek out in-office, on-location defense work. The seridiputous conversations and relationship building was not happening in remote work. I'm someone who has always worked from home and I still do every week but my career and life were going no where typing at people through Slack and building meaningless web apps--despite making enough money to be reticent to tell most people my earnings level.

Now I'm building software, involved intimately with designing and interfacing with specialized hardware, and travelling to interesting places doing interesting things with interesting people-- occasionally toppling off of combat machines. I took a 30% pay cut to do it. No regrets whatsoever, living life.

I’m not entirely convinced that multiplatform UI is a good idea for anything other than the simplest of applications. It always ends up looking out of place on at least one platform and sometimes all of them.

The consequence of this is cynicism and the use of AI on both ends. Applicants are using AI assisted tools to apply because of the sheer quantity of jobs they have to apply to to get anywhere and recruiters are using AI assisted tools to screen because of the sheer quantity of candidates they have.

This is a really nice pair of a physical plus digital interface. I like that the button actions are clear in the 'composition' mode but the faders and knobs are not - makes it a bit more playful as you need to watch as you adjust values to understand what's changing purely from an output perspective rather than thinking in terms of parameters.

Novation Circuit (at least the OG) did this with synth parameters with similar effect - you need to listen to hear the effect, as each patch you could be changing a different parameter (for better or worse).

Nice writeup and great-looking project, I wish I could play with it in real life!

I don't think AI is unethical by default. I mean, we've seen a multitude of tech markets that get filled with shovelware. I remember back in the Radio Shack days they would have a rack of shareware-like cheap software for hundreds of different use cases. Or the thousands of indie games on Steam or mobile websites. Or the thousands of iPhone and Android apps that are useless money grabs. None of these invalidate the good software that was/is available as shareware, indie games or mobile apps. The same is true for AI based software.

What I have been arguing is that Microsoft, Google and Amazon are investing billions of dollars on AI. They want to sell this AI as fast as possible to recuperate their investment. This kind of environment won't last forever so you should consider taking advantage as long as you can.
I'm coming back to iOS development after years of doing web stuff. SwiftUI will feel very familiar to anyone that's done React and massively reduces the amount of boilerplate and ceremony it takes to build for Apple platforms. It has some rough edges but overall feels like the most modern mainstream UI toolkit now.
The problem is not the ISA — it’s the whole ecosystem.

How many CPUID flags exist? There are so many interdependencies, it’s even hard to say what even makes sense, without detailed knowledge. SSE without MMX? The reuse of floating point HW for other stuff is also a mess.

A x86 system is a witches’ brew of MSRs, I/O ports, and chipset-specific PCI devices. And that’s just across only Intel CPUs…

How much code has to execute before even a bootloader can run?

Why do we need a damn ACPI interpreter?

Why do we still deal with legacy PCI routing (on all devices) when none actually use it?

The PCI configuration space is a bit of a mess. We should just make a new standard where everything 64bit and memory-mapped only.

Why are we shackled with slow IO port operations that replicate hardware from the era when leaded gasoline was widely available? Some may say this is legacy, yet we still rely on it today!!

Imagine if 1980s systems were shackled with 1940s-1960s compatibility concerns.

We need to start afresh — take all the learnings from the past decades and cast off the legacy crap.

Increased mutations/mutation rate is not necessarily a downside. Mutations aren't inherently bad, they can be beneficial, and the vast majority actually have no effect whatsoever, as the majority of our DNA is never used. But yes increased mutations means increased chances of bad mutations happening even if it also means increased chances of good mutations happening. Anyhow, it may put evolutionary pressure for longer lifespans. Studies involving fruit flies, and selective breeding them as old as possible for successive generations, show that can be the case. And other studies involving natural selection show that high mutation rates are a good thing (ie they help species survive), when environmental change is high (but high mutation rates are detrimental if the environment remains stable).
I’m describing reality, not saying it’s good or bad.
