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.

You will receive good news..... if you open a chinese fortune cookie. :)
Again, good luck. Hope it works out.

SoylentNews needs an App. It should be a totally brain dead App which does two things.
(1) visit SoylentNews in an in-App browser
(2) WakeLock your phone
There should be an option to turn off the WakeLock, and the option should be broken. The WakeLock cannot be turned off.
Best App Ever.

I'd do it in Swift, so that I have some Swift sample code to show to potential clients.
You can go a long way by using a different CSS stylesheet if the screen is smaller. Look at the head element of this page [soggywizards.com].
Before I write a Soylent News app I would do well to finish the app I've been working on so long. I have a problem with starting new projects before the old ones are finished.

You've come a long way and I'm glad things are still working out for you. It's past time for you to update you user description:

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.

Tonight, I promise.
I no longer need the tips but I'd like to continue singing on the street. But with a two hour commute each way I don't have much free time.

I expect there are others or it wouldn't be all the rage this days.
You can use "continue" to skip back to the beginning of an outer loop, from an inner loop. Hopefully break does that too but I haven't found out yet. Sometimes I've wanted both, but had to use goto.

I have not read through all of your posts, so correct me if government work is something you are totally not interested in. But I recently saw these job postings down in Eugene while I was looking for a different kind of work.
