Ask yourself: Why are you still at your current company? Be honest. I ask myself this every 6 months. I don't do this because I'm always looking to leave. I do it because the answer tells me if I'm growing or just comfortable.

One of my favorite patterns is the builder pattern. When implemented correctly, it can result in a nice, flexible, extensible API. youtube.com/watch?v=51dssdJl… #iosdev #swiftdev
