Just wrapped up a 4 hour pair programming session with @bass_rock: I helped him hot-wire an Objective-C library I wrote in 2018 to run in our new Swift codebase.
It was exhausting (I could barely form coherent sentences by the end), but also the most fun I’ve had with anything programming related in years.
Very few of my iOS contributions at Mozilla/Pocket ever made it into users’ hands; I’m proud that one of the few things that did was worth fighting for to preserve a little bit longer.
@nicole It was some of the most fun I've had coding in a loooooong time. Also that library A++++++, so solid. So excited to use it.
@bass_rock 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Looking back over the old code was a trip: there were areas that trigged the itch to go back and refine, revise, and refactor, but also broad swathes of really well-factored, well-structured, well-documented code that sung to me out over the years.
