Doug Gregor takes the stage of @swiftcraft.bsky.social with a keynote talk On Progressive Disclosure in #swiftlang

submitted 5 days ago • 1 comment

I had a blast presenting at #iOSKonf25 this week! I heard great things about this conference and I now can say that the praise was well-deserved! It was pretty scary to be on the lineup with so many accomplished engineers and speakers, but the vibe was really good and everyone was easy to be around.

The secret to introducing people to scary-sounding concepts like Free Monads in #swiftlang is in never mentioning these two words until the very end of the presentation.

Good software design is about adding the necessary amount of indirection without compromising performance too much.

Caffeinated and ready to learn how to build fast and efficient apps from #Apple engineers at the new Dev Center in Battersea Power Plant.

I've been putting off reading #brandonsanderson books for a few years, but finally got to them. Now that I've finished the Mistborn trilogy and started the Stormlight Archive, he's quickly becoming my favourite modern fantasy author - on par with Sapkowski (while having a more pleasant personality).

It's great to see #Apple bringing these in-person sessions to local dev centers around the world. I look forward to hearing about "Building faster and more efficient apps" in two weeks.

My talk from Swift Heroes 2024 has just been published. If you're interested in Noncopyable types, type-level programming, and State Machines, check it out. I had a lot of fun researching Typestate programming in #swiftlang, and I'm happy with how this talk turned out. youtu.be/qPHjDlqHsUQ

I'm a weird type of an application developer because when it comes to customer support I absolutely hate any sort of automation or self-service like chat bots or phone robots. If I'm performing a BAU operation, like changing a PIN number, I just want a button that's directly hooked up to API.

Yes, they really flew me all the way from London to Singapore just so I could show a photo of an elephant to #iosconfsg audience.

Heading out to my first conference of the year at #iOSConfSG If you happen to be around, drop me a message and let's have a coffee ☕️ P.S. I prefer to travel light and only pack essentials.

Holy smokes🤯! I think I was just able to create a proof-of-concept of #swiftlang effect system that allows to write direct style imperative code and then test it WITHOUT mocks by stepping through each suspension point and directly feeding input arguments to effects (e.g. readline).
