I find it difficult to coherently collect my thoughts on LLMs.

Dave Verwer and I were on Leo Dion’s podcast “Empower Apps” to talk about our work with the Swift Package Index, the improvements to DocC publishing, plugin support and search improvements as well as our plans for the next year.

Belated post: In June of 2020, I had the pleasure of being on John Sundell’s podcast “Swift by Sundell” together with Dave Verwer to talk about our newly launched Swift Package Index, and what the overall state of Swift’s package ecosystem currently is.

With every WWDC come new and exciting Swift features and we’re well trained to download the latest Xcode beta to try them all out.

I had the pleasure of being on Leo Dion’s podcast “Empower Apps”, where we talked about the challenges of supporting thousands of Swift Packages, dealing with metrics and site ops with Vapor, running CI for the site and the plethora of Swift packages as w…

This is the third post in my series about using Docker on an M1 MacBook Air.

This is a follow-up post to “Running Docker on Apple Silicon M1”, continuing the journey of exploring Docker on Apple’s new M1 machines.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve been both terribly excited to get your hands on a Mac with an M1 chip – but at the same time apprehensive if all your favourite dev tools are going to work on it.

Arena makes it very easy to launch a playground with a Swift package to experiment with its features – a single command line invocation gets you there.

Arena is a macOS command line utility to create Swift Playgrounds with embedded Swift Package Manager (SPM) packages.

Imagine you could scroll through your app states like your browsing history.

The Swift Package Manager (SPM) made a big leap forward last summer when it gained Xcode integration.

I switched to dark mode on my Mac recently and after doing so it occurred to me that I should really add previews for both colour schemes to my SwiftUI previews.

I love SwiftUI.

Update: SPM-Playground is now Arena I recently published SPMPlayground which allows you to quickly import a Swift Package Manager project from Github into a Playground (see the initial blog post).

Update #2: SPM-Playground is now Arena Update #1: Version 0.5.0 has been released One of the defining features of Swift has always been Playgrounds, the REPL on steroids that allows fast prototyping and iterating over algorithms and code.

I have been toying with the idea to self-host my website for a while now.

As a great fan of measuring things, I have recently added code coverage metrics to my API testing utility Rester.

Many internet comics tell an entertaining story of interactions between managers and engineers and it’s also an interesting dynamic I’ve had the good fortune to observe from up close over the course of many different projects mainly as an engineer but also

In my day job, I am part of a cross-functional team building an app and service in a way that probably the vast majority of apps and services get built these days: A backend service provides an API which clients – Android, iOS, web – interact with.
