The two day old account is an obvious hint but I got to be honest, the content didn't look suspicious on first read. I know you touched on it above, but what do you think triggered your AI generated thought ?

I wonder why they haven't tried to back port SwiftUI improvements/versions to the older OSs. Seems like this should have been possible.

> Do banks employ fewer people? Is it a smaller industry? No. Banks grew steadily over these decades. Profits may have grown but In Ireland at least, the number of branches have declined drastically.

Are you confident it’s the wrong tool though? Curious have you tried web apps with framework such as Actix ?

I disagree. If you want common code between all platforms (iOS/Android/Windows/macOS) your choices are pretty limited. Right now I work on a large codebase where C++ is used to solve the code sharing issue, but would much pr
