@caseyliss I’ve found these skills greatly help codex with SwiftUI (from Thomas Ricouard, who wrote one of the links in the atp show notes from today’s episode)

Does anyone know if Xcode 16 is still usable once you upgrade to Tahoe?
@cocoaphony same! Millions of lines here too and the only issue was needing to download the metal toolchain halfway through the first build.
@helge @mattiem @steve @cocoaphony @Alexjusino @dhanish I've spent a considerable amount of time explaining ObjC to many of my companies non-ObjC developers. They do not find it easy. There are more and more of them every day and it is getting harder to find good ObjC devs.
Frankly, ObjC seems like the walking dead to me now as no one wants to learn it.
ObjC is conceptually easier in total, in my opinion, but the barrier to entry on Swift is lower despite the complexity in mastering it.
@mattiem I voted for Swift as the more complex language (way more “advanced” features than ObjC), but the barrier to entry to Swift is also much lower. I easily got my kids going with simple Swift programming. They find ObjC inscrutable.
It’s kind of crazy how well Google and Facebook can map out who belongs to social nodes. Posted a link to Cometeer coffee in a private Signal chat, not 20 minutes later several of us are being emailed ads for cometeer.
@andy congrats! welcome to the industry.
@bigzaphod You are not alone. Right here with you today... and I have all of next week off to forget my decisions today when i start this new implementation 🙃

Yeah, this is it.
My oldest we drop off in the morning, but old enough to cross a semi-busy 4 lane street now so she walks home (1.5 miles)
My youngest goes to a magnet school 4.5 miles away. No safe path home. He would be crossing streets where several adult cyclists have been hit and killed by cars at a major freeway overpass.
