@fahrni btw, if you want to do a zoom call to talk through it with someone, happy to do it on the weekend. It’d be fun to meet “in person”. :) Can’t promise I could fix it, but it might help to rubber duck program it.

@fahrni You’ll get it. :) I’m a visual learner and really liked setting up constraints in interface builder. But depends on how complex you are trying to make it, it’s not as flexible as SwiftUI for sure.

@manton It’s funny I was working on a “cross platform” app at work, all in SwiftUI, and was very tempted to suggest switching to AppKit for one of the main windows. SwiftUI can’t do really good, proper, macOS UI yet. IMHO.

Saturday Morning Coffee:

\n

Netflix is ultimately the big winner here. They get to save billions of dollars for content creation and lure Paramount into a huge amount of debt

A great point by Rob, when I heard they called off the deal, this is what I thought too. Did they do it on purpose vs just pulling out initially?

Some great wisdom from Gus:

\n

Greg Knauss Is Losing Himself:

\n
\n

So I kept on making the software that I wanted to build, that I wanted to exist in this world. And though some months or years are rougher than others, people still were willing to pay for what I’m making. And that’s kept me going, and more importantly - employed

\n
\n
\n

And I have discipline and I know how to ship. And in my experience, that’s what has always mattered

\n
\n
\n

Because at some point it’s not about how good a programmer you are (and I’ve always been a middle-tier programmer), it’s about discipline and vision.
