  • Was better before…

    I understand you spend less time on the show but I miss the early days when we had real deep dive into the code. I don’t want to hear on UIKit CollectionViews… And you always focus too much on “indie” developers and never on Enterprise development which is quite different than n many ways. But I enjoyed my time with you and recommend the show for young developers.
