"Software developers are the most likely to get divorced"

This is something my professor said during a lecture at university, and it's a lesson I always remember

It's not just about developers, but for anyone who values work above all things, who only care about themselves
We tend to focus mostly on computer programs that are either 0 or 1. Life has more shades than that.

How many millionaires and billionaires have you seen that have a failed marriage, or neglected home life?
Family is not for everyone. It's a lot of work. It requires your ultimate responsibility and caring.

If your marriage falls apart then all your hard work gets wasted. You will be miserable and distracted by the negative things that come with divorce.
That people "succeed" by working 16+ hours a day doesn't impress me. Living only for yourself is the easiest thing.

Spend quality time with your happy family and teach your kids to be good people, are something I always tell about when someone asks me about success.
The most common issue in any relationship is the communication barrier.

If you want to learn how to cherish family, I recommend reading 5 Love Languages by @DrGaryChapman

It's the best book I've read last year and it's more important than any technical books I've read. Image
You'll never know what you have until it's gone Image

I've done some #SwiftUI lately for @pushheroapp @PastePalApp , and amazed by how easy and fun it is to make apps. If you want to get into SwiftUI but don't know where to start, here are my recommended resources #iosdev

Thread 👇
1) First thing first is @Apple official guides. Apple has done a stunning job to make SwiftUI tutorials fun and interactive

- Introducing SwiftUI developer.apple.com/tutorials/swif…
- Develop Apps with SwiftUI developer.apple.com/tutorials/app-…
- Creating a macOS App developer.apple.com/tutorials/swif…
2) Next is a mini-series focusing on fundamental blocks which are Stack and ScrollView

- Creating Performant Scrollable Stacks developer.apple.com/documentation/…

Whenever I do Core Data, the Laws of Core Data by
@davedelong is always my northern star

Below are some of take aways from that post

davedelong.com/blog/2018/05/0…
1) Core Data is more than just SQLite wrapper, it manages objects, relationships, fetching, faulting, ...
2) Having 2 context: 1 main and 1 background that are both backed by the persistent coordinator. In modern Core Data stack, NSPersistentContainer has default viewContext already, we just need another newBackgroundContext

How to gain product ideas?

1) Scratch your own itch. If you don't have any itch to scratch, stop here. This is awkward. Go travelling. Go exploring the world. The world always has problems and needs solution. Image
2) Build any service, app or website. Along the way you'll find tons of things you need that and unsolved by existing solutions, and tons of things you can improve upon.
3) Sign up for some paid newsletters to find ideas. This is the worst. This is like someone browsing through a tatoo catalog. You're doing things for trend, for money, not for your self drive 👎

New program reduces App Store commission to 15 percent for small businesses earning up to $1 million per year

apple.com/newsroom/2020/…
1) "earning up to $1 million" means proceeds, not sales. This is what we get after Apple's cut. "up to" means $999.999
2) "if they earned up to $1 million in proceeds during the previous calendar year". This means that if $1M is surpassed, the standard rate (30%) kicks in for the rest of the year, and also next year.
