I want to share my thoughts on learning and using UML. The latest UML 2.5.1 specification is 754 pages long. I firmly believe that nobody on this planet needs to know all that stuff to design software systems efficiently. UML is a perfect candidate for the 80/20 rule (aka Pareto law): 20% UML is sufficient in 80% of the cases. Knowing *some UML* is better than getting lost in the nitty-gritty details of visual artifacts. Going down the UML rabbit hole can easily lead to unnecessary complications and to what I fear the most: "analysis paralysis." In my "UML and Object-Oriented [...]

Easy “Trick” to Turbo-Charge Your Swift Projects
Sometimes, small code changes can bring considerable benefits. By using specific keywords, we can improve the performance of our code. Before I reveal that little optimization trick, you need to understand why it actually works. So, let’s talk first about method calls. Swift supports different techniques to invoke a method at runtime. Static dispatch is when the compiler can infer at build time which method to call. Static dispatch won’t work if subclasses can override the methods or the properties of the superclass. The compiler can’t figure out at compile time whether we’re referring to the superclass’s implementation or [...]
