One thing I've learned is that Inside Macintosh is just the primer. It may look like all you need - it lists all the Toolbox functions and how they work, and walks you through how things ought to fit together!

But in reality to make anything beyond TeachText you need to read: every Technote, every Q&A, skim every relevant sample code, every Snippet, and also read every issue of develop.

Then you can start to approach being able to attempt to do something!

@kalleboo and i thought dealing with xcode was misery. this is exactly the 10/10 warning i needed to never, ever bother learning how to code for the mac 68k. thank you 🙏
@vga256 And yet I still feel like I rather do this than coding for modern platforms. 100% rather do this than React Native. Even with the reboot I bet the build times are faster.
@kalleboo hahah there is a 10x more chance of me dealing with 68k C than whatever flavour of the year lang the web has decided is the one true language
@vga256 Sadly I'm at a point where I am desperately trying to figure out how to feed my family every month so I take what I can get

@kalleboo *looks back at 15 years of working as an indie developer*

...... yep.

@vga256 “heck at this point I'd take a job at ORACLE”
*looks over to the left*
