I'm learning Swift.

So far I don't see why it's any better than Objective-C. Perhaps I'll find that out later.

I just resumed iOS App development after quite a long hiatus. My iPhone was stolen and my MacBook Pro dropped dead just a couple weeks after AppleCare expired.

Now I have a Mac Mini and an iPhone 7. (The 7 Plus is too large to hold comfortably.)

I've been working on Warp Life since time began.

Some of the APIs I use have been deprecated. I'm unfamiliar with their replacements, and have found that all the tutorials are in Swift.

My current job is a consulting contract. While my clients and I really like each other, when I finished all their projects I'll be out of work again.

I hope to get a job as an iOS App Developer. Just to be considered for that role, one has to have published at least one App in the App Store. Having a stellar resume doesn't help one bit - you need that one published App, even if it's totally braindead.

I've got at least six months before I have to look for a new client.

    Yes he should update his description because it reads exactly like a spoiled rich kid who went camping and thought it would be totes edgy to live like a homeless dude.

    The new description should mention how MDC leveraged his stellar resume to beat the odds of longterm unemployment in a country where any employment gap is a death sentence. MDC should write a book about how survivorship bias does not exist because anyone can bullshit their way from a warped life all the way to success by downloading his patented motivational app from the app store.

    I wasn't able to get work from 2010 to 2016.

    I got my current contract because I advertise myself as a business [soggywizards.com]. My resume is no longer online.
