| I've been spending the last couple of years doubling down on learning Swift, and the Swift ecosystem. It's been 14 hours a day, seven days a week. And I haven't been paid a dime. All the while, I have been told that I'm "wasting my time," "you should be learning React Native and Javascript," and that "Apple is a dead company." etc. ad nauseam Since I've been hearing that same refrain (substitute "Windows" for "React Native," and "C" for "JavaScript") for the last 34 years, it doesn't phase me that much. The simple fact of the matter is, I can afford to take the time to do it, I really like Swift, and I really like developing for Apple systems. Maybe it will result in some kind of lucrative stuff; maybe not. I don't care. I spent over 30 years, writing software that other people used as toilet paper. I'm doing what I want. This guy is doing what he wants. Good on him. One of the nice things about art, is that it is something other people enjoy; maybe, even more than we (the artists) do. I think it's great. I also enjoyed this[0], a couple of years ago. [0] https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1757088830996244 |
