I have 50 @tryglass invitations to give out to women and underrepresented photographers. I’m enjoying their new platform: you can try it free for 2 weeks. No ads, no video, no memes, no influencers. Just photos. Let me know if you’d like a code.

Our next live streamed meetup is this Thursday, at 6:45pm, on twitch.tv/learnswift where we’ll be discussing automated testing. We’ll cover a few different types of tests you can write as well as some best practices. We hope to see you there!

In case anyone is feeling any less like a real developer because they’re not pulling an all nighter: I’m going to bed right now and am very excited to wake up and go on an all day hike without my phone tomorrow.
Everything will be fine. #AppleEvent

"Tomorrow" led to a collective scream of anguish from iOS developers worldwide. #AppleEvent

Boring code:
- is consistent
- is not clever
- is easily understandable
- makes locating features easy
- adheres to Principle of Least Surprise (things do what I assume they would)
- takes a minimal amount of effort to change
- uses the right tool (paradigm, language) for the job

Abandoning gender roles/expectations (and the concept of gender) is cool as hell. I have a shaved head, painted nails, a salary 3x my male partner's (pre-covid), and my main interests (right now) are needle work, programming, archery, and cooking. Be whatever you wanna do 💕

If you're stuck in quarantine with a toxic or abusive partner, message me about makeup and I will know to continually check in on you. If you ask me about buying eyeliner, and include a shipping address, I will know to contact the police on your behalf.

what kind of application code have you written that is truly reuseable? Everytime I make some clever abstraction / function etc, it bites me in like 2 weeks... especially in UI code.

This is exactly what I’ve been trying to convey to my networks about the bad Zoom press and where it actually stands on a security scale. If you’ve talked to me about Zoom lately, please read this thread.

Ever wondered how the @zoom_us macOS installer does it’s job without you ever clicking install? Turns out they (ab)use preinstallation scripts, manually unpack the app using a bundled 7zip and install it to /Applications if the current user is in the admin group (no root needed).

Many lords and masters were confused about the “free” part and assumed the knights would do it for the exposure
Fun wordy fact of the day for kids: the first freelancers were knights who weren’t attached to any single lord and master, and so were *free* to use their *lances*, or weapons, for anyone who paid them. #homeschooling

🚨 Swift on Linux folks. Please upgrade to Swift 5.1.5 which contains a security fix in JSONSerialization (does not affect iOS/macOS/other Apple OSes) that can lead to a denial of service.
Downloads available at swift.org/download/#releases and through Docker.
