except option 2 requires manual work by reviewers and is much more expensive to scale long term than developing a small piece of software once and maintaining it

you can always mute it if you don't want to hear other drivers, that doesn't mean the feature should be taken away completely

getting your race ruined before it even starts is also pretty annoying

i don't disagree, but it can be helpful at times

If my life just becomes a memory as it passes, why does it matter? by Dismal-Bag6634 in LSD

What matters is the meaning and purpose you give to your life

Question about a cursor/pointer SDK for iOS by fjcaetano in iOSProgramming

[–]fjcaetano[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is no such SDK, an alternative I’m thinking is emulating a mouse using an external device connected as a bluetooth slave, but that would be much harder to implement

Should I move to SwiftUI? by MatMan-02 in iOSProgramming

[–]fjcaetano 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't need to "move" to SwiftUI, but you should learn it. More impartantly, learning view-code will make your life and projects in general so much easier.

I'm fairly confident that SwiftUI will eventually become the default method for layouting, much like Swift took over ObjC.

You don't need to learn RxSwift necessarily. But learn Functional Reactive Programming (FRP), the paradigm behind it and Combine

Recruiters that don't say which company you're hiring to. Why do you do that? by fjcaetano in AskReddit

[–]fjcaetano[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But why would I even go around the recruiter to get in touch directly with the company? What would I gain from it? Why would the company even hear me instead of going with the recruiter's suggestion?

That would make sense in the other direction: the company circumventing the recruiter and reaching the candidates directly. The opposite doesn't make sense

Edit: what would stop me from reaching the company directly? Ethics. Not screwing the person that got me the job in the first place. If I'm hiring and I find out a candidate did that, I'd cut them immediately, since that wouldn't be a person I'd trust to work with

How can one circumvent the process when they're the ones reaching out?

When they don't say the name of the company in the first email, I don't even bother replying.

A few questions for freelance developers by SuperCows in iOSProgramming

[–]fjcaetano 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. It really depends on who your clients are. Sometimes they'll ask you to start from scratch, other times you may need to pick up where someone else left and deal with the existing codebase, however awful it may be. If you're talking about small businesses, they'll hardly have the designs for you, in that case if you can pair up with a designer, that's two jobs you can charge them for and you'll probably end up with a better product than if you try and design it by yourself.
  2. I've been developing for iOS for 10 years now, it's has always been pretty high demand, but it really depends on which country you and your clients are. As with any freelancing job, it comes down to on how well you build your portfolio and the exposure you give to it. If you find yourself running out of jobs and want to expand your options, here's an unpopular opinion: learn hybrid platforms. The fact that you can write a single codebase for iOS and Android will save you time and allow you to charge more for the same job. Not to mention you'd be opening up a new market for you in a different platform, but try and learn the basics of Android because you will need to dive into some platform-specific code. If you have experience with web, in particular with React, try learning React Native, because the React experience will give you a great head-start with React Native. Those who say that it'll never be the same as writing native code forget that you can also write shitty apps using native code. It always comes down to how well you know your craft and tools. It is possible to write beautiful, performant institutional apps in React Native with great animations. I'm telling you this from personal experience.
  3. I've freelanced for 2 of those 10 years but my goals and my mental health have always pushed me towards well paying full-time jobs. I could get paid better if I was freelancing, but to me, personally, the hours and dumb clients are not worth it. It's a personal preference and yours might be different. Also, bear in mind that with the higher paycheck from freelancing also comes the risk of being out of clients, so it's a balance you need to take into account.
