I hated my job, and I've never felt accomplished by working for somebody else. Almost all the creative people had left the company. The place had become a toxic environment filled with brown-nosers trying to get into management roles at any price. It was a cold, grey day in December 2016 when I was told that I have to switch teams and do some meaningless work from now on. This was the straw that broke the camel's back. I drove home. It was Friday noon, but I decided to take the rest of the day off. I went out for a [...]
If you often feel exhausted and low on energy, some simple steps might help you. Listen to Sean D'Souza's podcast episodes on energy management and what we can do to restore our batteries. Sean has been my mentor and good friend who's helped me quit the 9-to-5 rat race.
2019 has been a great year so far. Here's my list of priorities for the rest of this year: Improve my presentation skills Publish the course I've been working on since December last year Update/enhance my existing courses Publish three new books Reach 5,000+ subscribers on my Youtube channel Plus: Hike 500+ miles Bench press 240 pounds for 8 reps (instead of 4) Visit Norway or Iceland That'll do. More or less.
Alright, so here are five tips that can make your Swift code look more professional. Tip#1 Follow Apple’s naming conventions. If you have worked with other programming languages, it might be tempting to use the naming and coding style you’re used to. However, Swift has its own naming rules, so do your best to apply them. As the saying goes: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Apple provides more details and examples in their API design guidelines. The bottom line is this: name your protocols, functions, types, properties, methods, variables, parameters so that their purpose is [...]
Somebody left the following comment on my Youtube channel: "UML is a complete and total overengineered waste of time. Write down a list of stuff to do, prioritize, get stuff done. Stop over complicating things." I'm not saying that UML and detailed planning is the ultimate answer in every situation. To-do lists might work for simpler projects. However, when you have to work with complex systems, and design large-scale projects, you can't work effectively without rules and standards. Here's an analogy. You might be able to build a survival shelter without a plan. But you definitely need a plan to [...]
Maybe it's the jetlag to blame. I just had a revelation and wanted to have it written down before I forget... I believe I've discovered why are we here; what's the reason for our existence on this planet; I've got the answer to the big question: WHAT'S THE MEANING OF LIFE? So, let me share the answer with you. The meaning of life is to BECOME A BETTER VERSION OF YOURSELF! We have to evolve; we need to upgrade ourselves to v2.0 (3.0, 4.0 you name it). What I try to avoid is getting stuck: stuck in an unfulfilling [...]
