Build Phase

This week Mark is joined by special guest and host of Tentative, Reda Lemeden. Having a designer-slash-developer on the show allows Mark to not shut up about UIKit, best practices for bridging Swift and Objective-C frameworks, and fancy new features in iOS 10. Tentative

After claiming (incorrectly) to have fixed the audio issues in the Austin office (sorry, working on it), Jack lures Gordon into ranting about UIPageViewController. We're almost certain we recorded this episode before, but it's still horrible, so here we are. They then take a quick detour into discussing how their bodies are falling apart as they get older before chatting about Jack's journeys into game development and improvements in watchOS 3.

After establishing that Gordon lacks an internal monologue, Mark and Gordon discuss obscure CoreAnimation APIs, their favorite sessions from WWDC 2016 and some best practices for crafting code that walks the line between being a mess and needlessly abstract.

In this episode, Gordon and Jack discuss pipe dreams about enhancements to the Cocoa frameworks, commiserate about fear of public speaking, and lament the fickle nature of space-time which prevents them from knowing the future. Elm

After taking a quick audio tour of Gordon's closet, he and Mark chat about Gordon's general imposter syndrome around UIKit, his feelings of burnout around iOS, and how he's exploring Elixir as a way to add depth to his skill set. Then they make horribly inaccurate speculations on what will happen at WWDC. Elixir WWDC 2016 Sessions

Jack and Mark talk about the old days, the dynamic nature of Objective-C and whether that matters, and how to transition from one thing to the next. Shout-out to all the jugglers and mimes. Mike Ash on how KVO works Patterns for implementing Undo/Redo Comparison between the Carbon -> Cocoa transition and Objective-C -> Swift Jack's angry old rant about C++, the Visitor pattern, and compile-time binding

On this episode of Build Phase, it becomes clear that waiting too long to release version 1.0 of your open source library will not win you very much admiration from either Gordon or Jack. The two of them also discuss difficulties that arise while debugging monadic pipelines and hypothesize about threading and performance.

After what seems like a very long week away, Gordon, Mark and Jack uncover the hairy details involved in working with Argo and Swish, and discuss the differences between using Result type and using Swift error handling syntax.

Mark and Gordon spend what's likely way too long chatting about baseball. But hey, it's September. Once they do get into some technical discussion (they do, we promise), they chat about running into issues with CocoaPods generated frameworks during deployment, universal frameworks, and abusing CocoaPods' knowledge of Git to be able to do wacky shit with internal dependencies.

This week we had a topic planned and everything. Y'all had been asking for it and we were finally gonna do it! MVVM in practice. No bullshit. But then a heinous crime was committed that broke the monadic laws that keep our society civil and just. Tune in to hear Swift's public defender (played by Mark Adams) attempt to justify a new implementation of flatMap to Judge Dredd (played by Golden Fontenot).

Mark can't figure out how to get out of New York City, so this week Gordon is joined by fellow thoughtbotter Avi Gilligan to talk about learning Swift, Objective-C, and iOS.

At the end of a whirlwind week in Boston, Mark and Gordon talk about, like, every possible topic for 50 minutes. Even Thom up and left half way through. Topics include new open source projects (like Static, Tropos, and Curry), localization, and the world's oldest Red Sox fan.

Mark's visiting the beast coast this week so the guys get to sit in the OG thoughtbot studio together, drink beer, and wax poetic about network testing and Tropos. Mark has literally never sounded better; Boston recording setup on fleek. DVR VCR Issue on Tropos about MVVM Tropos open source repo

This week Mark welcomes Tony to discuss Swift 2, Haskell development with Docker, and where the hell Gordon went. No seriously, where is he? I hope he comes back soon!

Live from the Frisky Dingo, Mark and Gordon sit down to talk about the implications of new features and improvements added to Swift 2. If we're being honest, a large portion of the show is Mark pouring new-swift-error-handling fuel into the rage engine known as Gordon Fontenot. Gordon has also managed to segfault the new version of the compiler, so that's fun. Everything's fun.

This week, Gordon and Mark discuss organizing a BBQ in a puritan state on short notice, Gordon's upcoming road trip and move to Austin, and the pain of Swift/Objective-C interop. Also we're on the cusp of 90 second brew-at-home-in-your-microwave beer, people. What a time to be alive! No real notes this week, here's a pretty good gif instead

After chatting for entirely too long about hats, Mark and Gordon discuss some WWDC events that they are putting together, unearthing obscure design patterns in Apple's internal APIs, and working with push notifications. Also, Gordon turns the show into therapy with a great story about shitty neighbors. GORUCK Mesh TAC hat WWDC Breakfast Build Phase at the Ballpark Visitor Pattern iOS console APNS Pusher

This week the guys attempt to demystify Swift with a little Q and A where Mark has the Qs and Gordon has the As (obviously). There's also just a little too much excitement about a MLB.tv Mac app. The transition to baseball podcast is nearly complete.

This week, Mark and Gordon discuss the inevitable rise of the Astros as the MLB leaders for striking out, a weird bug in Xcode that is causing it to build the wrong kind of archive, errors trying to build the Segment.io library using CocoaPods, really just a whole bunch of errors going on today.

This week Gordon and Mark sit down to chat about video games, hairless bears, and using UIPresentationController to create custom alerts. Borderlands 2 Far Cry 4 Hairless Bear 2014 WWDC session 228: A Look Inside Presentation Controller (ASCIIwwdc)
