Who am I → iOS Developer @ XING → I curate Swift Weekly Brief → I do some open source things → I like continuous integration systems, too 8 — @basthomas
Have you ever tried... → using UIKit without documentation? (Xcode "helps" sometimes) → using someone's (undocumented) API without looking at the implementation? → using an undocumented API you wrote in the past, without looking at the implementation? 9 — @basthomas
This pull request adds a possibility to concat arrays without removing the duplicates in the parts that are not overlap completely (in the meaning that we care only if the last x values of 1st array overlaps with the same x values of the 2nd, but we don't care if some duplicates are randomly exist in the body of array) 16 — @basthomas

What more can we do? → Give examples → Write simple, non near-code documentation → "No raw loops" → Self-enforced best practice → Strongly typed APIs → Scope → Compassion → ..? 41 — @basthomas

Outcome, part 2 → The compiler is your friend → Don't be afraid to use types → The compiler is your enemy → We should explain the architectural design → Prevent "rest of the damn owl" syndrom → Use assertions! 52 — @basthomas
Things to keep in mind → I don't want to write the correct code. There is no correct code. There is no silver bullet. → I want to help the most correct code to be written. → I want to prevent incorrect code to be written. → I want to fail early and often. → (but for that, I need it to be testable) → Iterate, iterate, iterate 53 — @basthomas
Takeaways → Optimize code for reading, not writing → Work together and bounce off ideas → Documentation is helpful for yourself when writing code, too → Documentation helps you with naming, scope, testability and readability → Having testable code feels awesome → Snapshot tests are the root of all evil 54 — @basthomas
