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 [...]

Why Quitting the Rat Race Was My Best Decision Ever?

By |2019-03-30T10:21:54+00:00March 30th, 2019|entrepreneurship, Everyday Life|0 Comments

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 [...]

5 Tips to Bring your Swift Code to the Next Level

By |2019-03-11T22:55:30+00:00March 11th, 2019|Swift 5, Swift Programming|0 Comments

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 [...]
