I have been an iOS developer for 6 years.
I used to get so excited about Apple announcements. Instantly want to watch all the WWDC videos as soon as they went up.

Now I just don't care. TBH that's how I'm feeling about software development in general now. It makes me sad that I've lost my passion 😢

Best coworkers I had on my last project. I learnt from all of them and we were a large team but we all had a holistic view on how software should be made and the standard of quality that we should meet. It was great just a shame management above us didn't realize what they had and ruined such an incredible team.

When people refer to node as s language 😫😫😫😫😫

I interviewed for a big named company who I really admired to work on some video stuff .. My technical interview lasted 10 minutes swiftly followed by a #fail email ... Two years later I had the opportunity to interview again and got a position ! Never stop learning

Worked on an iOS app that had horrendous rotation animation. Instruments to the rescue and worked at a colleague was using a resizable image with insets greater than the size of the image. Meaning when iOS tried to render the image it was doing a bunch of division by zero which was grinding the device to a halt.

Am I the only one on here who sometimes feels like some of these rants sound self inflicted :-s

If I have to see the bug vs feature meme one more time ..........

I've been writing Java the last few days. Really makes me remember why I enjoy writing objective c / swift so much. It's not necessarily the crazy syntax of objective c. It's the conventions behind the languages. It's very easy to make your code read like prose. Which when you become used to this it's very hard to jump back into spaghetti code with abbreviated variable names and such.

My stickers arrived today in Stockholm !

One can never have too many stickers

Test functions that are longer than a screen and requires a team of scientists and archeologists to try and decipher WTF they were trying to test and why they might be breaking...

Extract method -> give reasonable name -> save sanity of next dev to try and work out wtf is going on

😂😂😂😂😂

I'm going to be that guy .... A lot of these rants are about code compiling first time .. Throwing away code you wrote because you didn't need it... Getting in the zone and writing a billion lines before you compile .... Am I the only freaking person here that does TDD ? My rant is wake up people ! People evangelize about it because it fucking works !

Fucking Xcode

When Monday comes round and all you can think about traveling to work is the giant pull request you were asked to review on Friday 🙈

Hating myself because I'm struggling to muster up the courage to program lately ... Work is ruining what I love :-(

Lib bump v3.4.6 ->v3.4.7 .... With API changes 🙈

3rd party libs that have lower quality than a black and white tv

Business: "should we use this technology?"
Developers: " probably not but we will do a full investigation and give you a report on the pros cons and our professional opinion... No we should not use that technology"
Business: "oh yeah why you guys were off seeing if it would work we did the deal so now we have to use it"

Projects with more tooling than Tim Alan and more magic in it than Aladins lamp ... #autoGenetateAllTheThings

Idiot: "You should use this thing for that ! It's way better than your suggestion "

Me: " ok cool can you explain to me why it's better or even what it does for me? "

Idiot: " well .. It's kind of ... Like .. Erm ....google it man"

Me: "face palm"
