My team at Apple is looking for engineering managers! You'd lead a small team of compiler frontend engineers working on the Swift language and developer experience.

The position is in person, and available in:

London: https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/200627625-2114/swift-compiler-engineering-manager

Cupertino: https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/200628041-0836/swift-compiler-engineering-manager

#Playground is legit such a great addition as a macro

I love using it to just dump in random ideas I'm working on for things and test how they work without needing to build the whole project

I love the new #Playground API in Xcode.

I use a Preview in every UI file so having the same thing for models and APIs will be fantastic!

What if playgrounds, but on the command line… an idea for a "swift play" command from @chrismiles

#Playground macro and "swift play" idea for code exploration in Swift

I really like the direction of this proposal. The idea of surfacing functionality in a way that’s immediately actionable within the source code is very compelling. The inclusion of live refresh is also a major plus. Having the playground re-run automatically on file changes enables a tight feedback loop that’s perfect for experimentation, quick prototyping, or verifying behavior in isolation. It brings the experience closer to what you get in other highly interactive environments, which I thin...

I'm really proud to present my fully documented source code for Elite on the Commodore 64.

This is the original 1985 source, recently released by Ian Bell, with every single line of code explained.

It’s a thing of beauty. Enjoy!

Ever wanted to see a two-meter-wide Xcode window? You can flick between code, simulator, and live device completely seamlessly – the app window just slides up next to Xcode as you'd expect, so development is extremely fast 🙌
Apple's debugger team is looking for an intern to work on improving the debug info quality in the Swift compiler, details at https://gist.github.com/adrian-prantl/488fe9c4abcb93be8ea113df2daa1b30

Programmers fallacies about postcodes:
- A postcode covers a small geographic area
- A postcode is good enough to locate an end user for generating location suggestions
- A postcode will be in a single timezone
- A postcode only has a single state
- A postcode has no exclaves/enclaves

I would like you to meet 0872. Australia's largest postcode (I think), covers 3 states, has two cut outs (Warbuton and Alice Springs), and even still some mail outside of this area is routed via 0872
