I'm your host, Leo Dion joining us again is Antoine Vander Lee. Hey Antoine. Thanks for coming back. Yeah, glad to be back. So I've actually worked on projects that were written in Swift 1. And in the last year or two, have you, have you worked on any of those?[00:00:26] Antoine v.d. SwiftLee (Guest): [00:00:26] I was honored to be at WWDC the, when Swift was announced and you know, you're at the enthusiastic when it's announced, but if you're there, I guess you're even more enthusiastic to get started with it because you're there in that week. You have your MacBook open all the time and you try out a few things.[00:00:44] And yeah, I was at a point where I had to convince kind of my project manager to rewrite the project or not. So, yeah, I know. I knew at that point, Switch was the future. So I had a really good statement to make there and I convinced them and we started writing the project is Swift one.one, which was kind of like the first really public version you could use, I guess if I recall correctly.[00:01:09] Yeah. Yeah. So we, we started using that and the first week, two weeks, it was all fine and it worked nicely and we continue that we continued and a project grew. And then we realized that you know what is it called again? Incremental bills. Sorry, I couldn't get to the word because we didn't have incremental building at the time, which meant that the project builds times where like, like eight minutes, nine minutes at the certain point, just for a really small change, it didn't work at all.[00:01:42] Up until I think  introduced incremental building, which was a lot better already, but yeah.

We recorded the episode the morning of today of the Apple event.[00:00:20] So obviously Antonie and I didn't really cover these new Macs, but I figured I would just give you a quick, quick thoughts on the event today. So this was our last event from Apple last hardware event. It's been pretty quick. This year. We've had three events in two months, like Tim said, and we got the reveal of the  chip, which will be used in the Mac book pro, Mac book air, and Mac mini, which can be ordered today.[00:00:48] I don't know when they're going to be out.

I'm your host, Leo Dion I'm with Brightdigit specializing in development in the Swift space and Apple space as well. Today we have with us, Jacob Corban. Hey Jacob, how are you doing? Jacob Gorban (guest): Good. Thank you. Leo Dion (Host): So Jacob, I've known you for, I wanna say like the first time we met would have been like release notes, maybe. Did you go to Release Notes? Jacob Gorban (guest): I've been to all of them. Yes. Leo Dion (Host): Yeah. That's probably the first time I met you back in 2015 back in the good old days when we actually like travel and go to conferences and stuff. I miss those days. I've done. Gosh, two conferences this year that have been I've spoken at that have been remote.I've got. Three more conferences actually, by the end of the year that I'll be speaking at all remote, all from the convenience of this wonderful home office here, which has its advantages. Assuming nobody's home along with me, who's little and requires a lot of attention. I think we're kind of in the same boat actually.There's there's been an adjustment for me, certainly because I have a lot of family members who live in this house. I don't know about you, but like I've worked for mostly for 12 years now. 10 years almost. So what's, what's new to me this year has just been dealing with like me and my wife scheduling and taking care of the kids while we're working, which you know, that's the big curve ball this year with COVID and everything with 2020.How about you? Has there been any big adjustments working remotely this year? Well, Jacob Gorban (guest): I was in this like a situation kind of as your, that I was already working remotely. I've been an Indie since 2009, like full-time Indie. So like on this front it was fine. Like I didn't have to adjust to working remotely.But as you, as you have, like, I have like my kids and there's like a school age. They're not very small, so like it's easier, but. No, they were at home and most of the time I have my, one of my kids at home right now. And I could ask him to be quiet. It's like for the next door. Well, while we're your core is not bothering me with anything.So there's none of that. It was like, it was fine. Leo Dion (Host): Yeah. How long have you been an indie and kind of tell us a little bit about some of the stuff that you've been making over the last 15, 10 years. Jacob Gorban (guest): Like I started dabbling in Mac development on the side, like how did t...
