80,000 words later, I finally published Swiftly Speaking transcripts for Carola Nitz, Chris Lattner, Mayuko Inoue, Ish Shabazz, and Jordanna Kwok. Transcribing takes a ton of work, but I know it benefits folks who can't watch the videos 🙌 Find them here: hackingwithswift.com/interviews
I updated the site to include quick links to each interview, and while you're reading a section it now includes a date plus a link to the full YouTube video if you'd prefer to watch the original recording. Small things, but hopefully helpful! Let me know if you spot any typos 😅
Each speaker gave up lots of time to answer questions from the audience – here's just one from each of them:

- @_caro_n on what makes a great programming conference: hackingwithswift.com/interviews/car…

- @clattner_llvm on how Swift changed the programming landscape: hackingwithswift.com/interviews/chr…
- @helloMayuko on how we can make the iOS community more inclusive: hackingwithswift.com/interviews/may…

- @ishabazz on whether you need a CS degree as an iOS developer: hackingwithswift.com/interviews/ish…

- @jordeewok on how she interviews iOS developers at Netflix: hackingwithswift.com/interviews/jor…
I still have more transcribing to do, but at least I've gotten those five done – more to come soon! 💪

My M1 MacBook Pro arrived today. Chances are you have various questions, but I think a whole lot is summed up in this 50-second video. (Alt text, because Twitter still doesn't make this easy: Xcode 12.3 beta unzips in 5 minutes on an M1, vs 13 minutes 22 seconds on an Intel i9)
It's clear why Apple mentioned coding in the keynote – M1 is screamingly fast for developers. I almost feel sorry for Intel!

My Unwrap project (13k lines Swift, 10k Obj-C, more) was 19.5s on Intel vs 11.7 on M1.

AudioKit (39k C, 27k Swift, 12k C++) was 73s on Intel vs 31 on M1.
Keep in mind this comparison is deeply unfair: my 16-inch MacBook Pro was literally maxed out just a year ago – 8 cores, 64GB RAM, and much more, costing $6000.

In comparison the M1 costs just $2000 and manages to hammer the Intel machine with a quarter of the RAM.

@biz84 Broadly I welcome folks trying to provide clarity when it comes to platforms. However, I don't think this was a particularly strong effort: it comes across as biased, incomplete, and a bit condescending. I don't think many iOS devs will read it and say "I should try Flutter."
@biz84 1. You don't mention at the start that you run a site specifically about Flutter, and are inherently in favor of one side.

2. You jump in immediately with "why Flutter is already a superior technology" – before you've actually shown anything.
@biz84 3. You say "Apple is a hardware company, and has no incentive in building and promoting a cross-platform framework," conveniently ignoring Apple's work in making Swift work on Linux.
