I love, love, love improvements like this. I count 13 expectations with XCTest versus just two with #SwiftTesting. This is an awesome session by @throwspace: developer.apple.com/wwdc24/1… #WWDC24
ALT A screenshot of the ‘Meet Swift Testing’ session from WWDC24. The screenshot depicts lots of expectations from the XCTest framework versus just two expectations from the Swift Testing framework.

Okay, need a round up for developer tools sessions to watch?
If you haven’t already, check out Swift Testing!

Xcode 14 now runs test targets in parallel (when enabled), which can significantly speed up execution for multi-target suites. Check “Author fast and reliable tests for Xcode Cloud” on Friday to learn more!

Three weeks ago, I had a miscarriage. I was six weeks pregnant. I live in Texas, a state that has effectively banned abortions.
A thread about what it is to cease to be pregnant in a state where abortions are banned:

If I can offer an observation, 20+ years into my software career:
Long term, your kindness and helpfulness are vastly more impactful than your technical skills.
People will remember how you made them feel. They're much less likely to remember that awesome function you wrote.

It's true folx. I and many others at🍎don't have degrees, or even related degrees. My manager has a German degree and another co-worker has a pro writing degree. I'm a music school drop out.

Austin just recorded its biggest 24 hour temperature change on record. 53 degrees in one day's time.

The feature in question is "Test Again without Building". @basthomas and I were hanging out on the internet one day when he mentioned how much he wanted it. Tired of hearing this from folx, I looked into the work necessary. By the end of the week it was ready to go!

The unique joys of saving time while developing Xcode due to a feature you publicly implemented and shipped in Xcode.
Btw, if this sounds like something you'd love to do, we're hiring. 😎

As a software developer, you may be called upon to perform some of these tasks in your career.
How well a CS degree prepares you for these tasks (and whether it even should prepare you for these) is left as an exercise to the reader.

I'm devastated to hear that William Cook passed away on Wed. Much of 1990s OOP was defined by his seminal papers. When he returned after a decade in industry (AppleScript!) I invited him to @BrownCSDept (where he got his PhD from Peter Wegner) and we became friends. Tragic.

I released xcresulttool GitHub action, which shows Xcode test results in an easy-to-read format on GitHub Checks tab. No longer need to search Xcode logs anymore.

Now AGAINST Prop A:
✅ Austin Firefighters Association (@AFA975)
✅ @AustinEMSAssoc
✅ @statesman
✅ @AustinChronicle
✅ 115+ community organizations
✅ 38+ current & former elected officials
Early vote begins tomorrow in #ATX! #NoWayPropA
🚨 The @statesman has endorsed AGAINST Prop A!!
“No sensible person would run a business this way, following a costly and arbitrary staffing rule. And Austin should not run APD that way. We strongly urge voters to reject Prop A in the Nov. 2 election.”

You may be wondering, what’s the big deal with the Texas voting bill? Why is it bad?
Well, mostly because it taints our democracy and intimidates voters.
And the kicker, it's all based on a lie. Detailed breakdown⬇️

Important coverage of situation in #ATX in @NYTimes nyti.ms/37uX07T. My quote: “The governor is preventing the city from keeping kids & adults safe. He’s going to have a lot of deaths on his hands. This is a matter of life & death for our community.” #COVID @GovAbbott
