Looks like many are questioning the credibility of the author as a dev/engineer. Peter is the founder of PDFKit and well respected name in iOS circles for his contribution to .framework and ideas about building modular iOS apps. He may be overselling here, but pretty sure he can manage AI generated code

Great job, is there something similar but for SwiftUI?

There are so many mentions of reading paper. Do papers like these exists for regular enterprise software devs like me who make apis in Dotnet/go, good knol of multiple major cloud tools, k8s etc, has developed couple of iOS apps.

I can do my job but I always wanted to learn and understand more. Family circumstances mean I can't afford to quit my job or go to school.

I bet, India is on the top3. Pharmacy culture in India is liberal. U can walk into any pharmacy without prescription and buy most meds including Antibiotics. It's a different story online, but even then there are ways to get around.

$10/Kg? In the US, I used to get the entire leg for ~$12-13(3.5/4kg) at African and Arab stores. The same in India would be around $30

Is JS/Express/Apollo still the goto graphQL server implementation or C#(HotChocolate), Java, go etc are widely used too? On the client side(for mobile), AFAIK iOS(Swift) and Android(Kotlin) does not support GraphQL natively? are there 3rd party libraries that can be used?

Edit: Added Apollo

Re:Welcome to Comprehensive Rust on Thursday December 22, 2022 @08:33AM (#34093026)
Unrelated: but why does Google use Kotlin(for developing Android apps) and Rust when they have a nice little language in Go. Genuinely curious: Is Go not a good fit for developing Android apps(Is targeting JVM the concern?) or system programming(using Rust in Android systems), what does it lack?

Ask HN: How to Design and Document Software?

How do you design and document on the feature level(aka issue in github)? For example: If my team is tasked with developing a sorting feature in an e-commerce app. Are there design documents(like high level flow, technical approach, traceability matrix etc) that we can prepare before working on the actual task itself?How do companies like MS, Google go about this?
