👋🏼 Welcome to SwiftlyRush
Spring is in the air 🌼
If you're like me, then you'll be very excited with the official release of Spring, yes, the season where days become longer and warmer! Given I used to work across the globe, I have experienced a magnitude of climates, and I have learnt that hot weather is for me!
So this week, I have a strong message to share with you. It's scientifically proven that sunshine provides many of the hormone benefits to being happy and feeling good. So don't be afraid to step outside wherever you are and do something outside that makes you happy. A short walk, jog or even read a book. In my case, it's growing fruit and vegetables in the garden.
There is a lot of doom and gloom happening already this year, so make sure you take time out and look after yourself.
Have a great week ahead!

I genuinely believe that UI testing is a topic that isn't spoken about enough, if anything, for most people it's either an after thought or none at all, and it's easy to understand why when you see how slow they can be or complex to write. However, you will over time start getting value. I love this article covering UI testing with activities and attachments.
Wrapping functions in Structs by Paul Samuels
This is an interesting concept and perhaps it can help you within your codebase?
Apple Watch: Advancing Health Through Innovative Research by Leonardo
I love reading Leonardo's blog because he often covers topics that are less technical and more research/product heavy. It makes a great change from often heavy technical material. This is no different covering the topic of health and the Apple Watch.
A Retrospective of My First Decade of Coding by Jordan Morgan
I find it fascinating reading Jordan's updates recently, covering his indie apps that he sold to learning and understanding how he learns, I find this stuff fascinating because we can often learn from their mistakes or relate to something we often struggle with.
