My need for a new job has gone from “I'm unhappy and need a change" to “I don't hardly have any savings and if I don't get a new job ASAP I will be bankrupt in a month or so”, because I was laid off today.

So:
Hi! I'm Jamie. I write code in Swift, with the exact target/platform not mattering to me so much. I own a powerful Mac so I can contribute to indie/smaller projects without any particular investment. I also have experience managing teams, and I can quickly pick up new skills.

The role would have to be remote or located in the Baltimore, MD area as I have a mortgage that I can't just get out of.

Hey #iosdev we've been noticing that on iOS our app over the last 2 months we've seen a dramatic slow down in users installing new updates. I have a theory this is related to the TikTok ban and folks disabling automatic app updates to keep TikTok around (and subsequently never reenabling it).

Does this theory hold water?

With Xcode 16, if I use *any* code completion, it adjusts my indentation, even if all auto-indent settings are off. "Predictive code completion" is off. It's not inserting whole lines or anything—even just completing a variable name updates the line indentation. I have wasted *so* much time correcting its indentation—most often changing spaces to tabs. When I filed a bug during the beta, I was told it works as expected. So I'm just checking: there's no way to fix this, right?? #MacDev #iOSDev

My mistake: my bug report from August was not replied to, and is still open. FB14982082 if any Apple folks want to look at it. I've updated it to clarify that it’s still an issue.

In the meantime, it would make me very happy if anyone knows how to use basic autocomplete in Xcode 16 without it messing up my formatting. I'm surprised I haven't seen more complaints about this, but maybe most people stick to Apple's indentation style? It's way too insistent on things lining up imo.

One thing that I can share with you is the change in wording of the reminder notification body. A friend of mine complained to me that it’s a bit boring and generic. I must admit, I created it as a mockup and forgot about it. What do you think? 😉

This update was harder than I thought. I refined the algorithm to split the posts, because it was misbehaving in edge case scenarios like long sentences with a lot of hashtags. So if you go crazy on hashtags now, I’ll tell you when it’s to much to even fit one post, no matter if you split by words or sentences. I’ll also show you beforehand how many posts your post will be split into and once you actually split the posts, I’ll (1/2)
