[Accepted] A New Direction for Testing in Swift

Hello, Swift community. I'm pleased to announce that the Swift project has accepted a vision document for A New Direction for Testing in Swift: A key requirement for the success of any developer platform is a way to use automated testing to identify software defects. Better APIs and tools for testing can greatly improve a platform’s quality. Below, we propose a new direction for testing in Swift. This vision is the natural continuation of the work done on the swift-testing project, which fo...

@inthehands to throw my 2 cents in: having "slack" or "breathing room" also can lead to situations where people start looking for, or just noticing outliers, and solving interesting but not urgent problems.

These problems would have become urgent if not spotted earlier, but slack lets them become non-threatning.

I have personally lost count of the amount of times I prevented a serious problem by having the luxury of reading logs leisurely for a little while longer.

Today it’s finally ready to go live in the App Store, and I’d like to not only share the app with you but share more about why I built it.

Well, downsized at Daysheets. So I’m actively looking, once again.

If anyone has any leads for an iOS/macOS engineer that has 15 years experience in iOS and more on macOS, feel free to pass along my info.

SwiftUI, AppKit, UIKit, loads of experience.

The great dirty secret of the software industry is that an awful lot of the work that is critical to sustainably build and maintain a software system/product/whatever only happens in the wild because one person with a little extra care and a little extra time decided "I'm not going to wait for this to get priority. I'm not going to wait for permission. I'm just going to do this because it should be done, and damn the consequences."

Repeat after me: Return To Office is a bullshit policy, put in place by *weak leaders* who value an illusion of control over productivity and employee well-being.

I'm very lucky because I can choose where I work, and today I could and would choose a lower pay and less prestigious company over a big tech with RTO policy. I'm double lucky because Square is great and without stupid RTO.

Repost if no RTO will be a deciding factor in your job search going forward 😘
