I've been an iOS developer for about 5 years, and I do all my UI in code (one exception: the watch app we have is using storyboards). Storyboards are fine but I find them slow once they get to a certain size, which for any non trivial

I just bought a 2 bed terrace in zone 4 for 280k, its not cheap but there are some places that are a lot more affordable (especially if you don't mind going south of the river)

No worries, I understood where you're coming from. I partly agree with you: I switched to git at the command line from tower because I wanted to script some features (and understand the tool better), but having the GUI there made it ea

People outside the US have much less choice (both in services and content) I've had netflix for about 6 months (using unlock-us to access all regions) and have probably torrented only 10-20 movies in that time (down from a few a week)
