Full time job, full time dad

#24 And the struggle with learning to code

Hello everyone,

As you may have noticed I have not published on this newsletter for a while. The reason for this is quite simple. For the last 6-8 months I’ve had 0 motivation for coding. The thought of it just stressed me out. Part of the reason is because I started a new job in March which has turned out to be demanding and really fun, the second part is that I got my second son on June 17 this summer.

Now, having a full time job and being a dad is quite time consuming so the SwiftUI learning has been pushed to the side for obvious reasons. It is still a hobby for me so it’s easy to just pause it.

But I have decided to try to come back again and give it another shot now when I am starting to regain some balance in my life.

The newsletter will take a new turn as well. Before I mainly posted about code examples, I might still do that if I find it useful, but then it will be reflected to something I am building and what I learned from it. Just posting about code examples just seems so boring when AI can explain it just as well or even better.

What I am trying to say is that I am going to experiment with this newsletter a lot. I will show code, be personal, spit out app ideas. Who knows? All bets are off at this point.

I also decided that I will not try and post every week because it is just too stressful. Instead I will post a new letter whenever I feel I have some insights that are worth sharing.

I wish you all a great Saturday and keep on building!

Mr SwiftUI
