Episode 243: Dark Days of Development
Daniel and Manton talk about the struggle of tackling the last issues remaining in a project, which are often the ones you’ve put off the longest. They discuss tricks for gamifying productivity progress, and other time management hacks. They reflect on Swift 3 reaching a milestone of preserving source compatibility, and discuss the costs and benefits of sticking with Objective-C vs. moving forward with Swift.
