Stereotypes and misunderstandings
Last week, I started the intro with the following line:
As if your mam was coding Swift.
Not realizing I was about to forget to share important context. I have an essential role to fill by reaching over 8000 subscribers with my newsletter, and one of the things I need to improve is ensuring context is set.
The above line could easily be read as me stating "mams aren't smart" or "mams can't code." Obviously, that wasn't my intention at all!
Before providing the missing context, I first want to apologize to those that felt misplaced with my previous intro. Sorry, it was unintentional.
So, what's that background story?
Back when I was still living with my parents, I often had to help my mother navigate on her iMac (yes, of course, I made sure she bought an iMac, haha!). My parents didn't grow up with computers, so they had difficulty speeding up with things.
The best way for my mom was to explain things simply and to the point.
As if my mam was coding Swift refers to precisely this.
I want to thank those that reached out and provided me feedback accordingly. I'm here to learn like you, and only feedback can help me grow.

Before letting you go, there's an update coming for
RocketSim soon. You'll be able to configure a custom color for touches, and touches will now work correctly in landscape. Apart from that, I've made significant performance improvements to add a little love to your CPU usage.
Lastly, SwiftLee Jobs received an update as well. Featured listings are more prominently visible in this newsletter, and instead of being only visible on the SwiftLee homepage, jobs are
now presented on over 170+ SwiftLee articles. It has never been a better time to post your job positions!
Enjoy this week's SwiftLee Weekly!
