Almost 1 year and 1300hrs learning the biggest things since university.

Another progress report on the way toward rebuilding my app in SwiftUI. In this update, I demo the app icon switcher, which is quite unique compared to the typical ones you see in apps and the new birthday pre-reminders.

There's that 10,000 hour rule of thumb for becoming an expert; there's a similar one around 1000 hours for learning something new.

I would consider this for a v1 — very proud to have gotten this far.

We are beginning to see Elon Musk’s demons dismantle everything he’s built.

Self-directed modern learning with online courses, videos, and websites was very different from the textbook school-style I did before. The single biggest thing that's helped me is creating my own "cheatsheet."

It wasn't about money or power, but something much more important

Half a millenium of hours learning how to program.

500 hrs learning programming, about two times longer than the Apollo 11 moon landing mission.

300 hours learning programming, equivalent to one-fifth of Columbus' voyage to America which took about 2000 hrs or 83 days

Two months into my project to learn programming and rebuild my app.

I feel like I just beat the first boss with a wooden shield and tin sword.
