@Hannahdowney I think it was your question last night at @NSLondonMeetup about how we get Software Architects when there are no juniors left to pursue the career path. Part of the joy of my job has been training juniors and I think that is what sort of deflated me about AI for a while. But I’m coming out the other side. Maybe we train Software Architects differently. Building Architects don’t start as brickies and work their way up. I think CS degrees might have to change…

@marcoarment @twostraws @caseyliss I was at NSLondon tonight. Apple said that they are hiring Tech Evangelists FWIW. But I agree with Marco as well.
I’m off to NSLondon at Apple HQ in Battersea.
Brent SimmonsBefore sending Apple any money this week, remember that Tim Cook attended a private screening of the Melania documentary at the White House later in the same day that Alex Pretti was murdered by this administration. He knew about it and went anyway.
@calicoding this is not ideal because you don’t own String but also because String has some interesting properties as it encodes unicode. i.e. 2 identical looking strings can be completely different. Which will absolutely come to bite you at some point.
If you are allowing arbitrary strings you are not in control in creating their ids. And comparing arbitrary length unicode Strings is not the most efficient thing to do. I think String is generally overkill for an ID.

@stroughtonsmith My MIL couldn’t find her inboxes the other day! It took me a while to find the hidden disclosure button for Favourites…
@simonbs Nice. I wondered if it used CloudKit…
@simonbs Out of interest what are you using for the backend?
@jasongorman Selective breeding would imply some intent to use a wider genepool to breed progeny that were improved in some trait though.
It’s like when before the browser address bar was merged with the search field, we all went to google.com and “searched “ for the website because it was easier than typing or mistyping a URL. So instead of going directly to a site, we all did this hop from google.com even though it was less efficient.
