A Day in Life of a Framework Engineer

Discover the exciting world of framework development!

This talk deep dives into how different Framework development can be from a regular app development lifecycle. We’ll discuss how prioritizing features, rigorous testing, and Swift debugging to ensure top-quality releases. Learn how frameworks often outshine apps in reach and stay relevant despite OS updates. Explore versioning, developer experience, and the art of modular development. Plus, we'll compare open-source vs. commercial SDKs and highlight the vital role of customer success teams.

8. With a sufficient number of users of an API, it does not matter what you promise in the contract: all observable behaviours of your system will be depended on by somebody. The Hyrum’s Law Why should you separate interfaces from implementations and design by contract?
