*The first 20 hours* is mind-blowing. It means, literally, I can dedicate one whole weekend and get semi-proficient in a goal up to a point to start carrying me into making it a habit.

I quit my software engineering job at the end of last year and was thinking about transitioning out of tech but I've been taking a course on iOS development and I've been enjoying it. My goal is to be able to launch my own app one day. I'm trying to make learning iOS development a daily habit. I know it's not gonna be easy but I hope I'll be able to achieve this goal in the future.Thanks for this video!

Excellent post, Chris, thanks. The hump is real, and Atomic Habits somewhat covers this when discussing the mismatch between immediate and delayed rewards. What worked for me was carving out that extra hour by waking up early (and going to bed early enough!): showing up consistently is half the battle.

I agree with the learning curve hump. I noticed with anything difficult i learn, it takes me about ~3 months to get over the hump. And when i do, the velocity of learning really takes off. This was the case with jiu-jitsu. People thought i was a lost cause in the beginning then I started subbing people by 4 months. And I'm a firm believer in understanding principles before technique. If you understand principles, you know many techniques to accomplish one thing. If you only know one technique to do something, you only know one way. They say... If you know one recipe, you know one recipe. If you know one technique, you know 100 recipes. If you know on principle, you know idk how many techniques.

Hi Chris, The algorithm popped your video up and it guessed right again as I “liked” it and subscribed after watching you in action. You are providing awesome content! My biggest problem is I have limited time and many subjects I would like to learn. I have been able to complete a BA, MA, MS, and a PhD and the “trick” is… well I’m not sure how I did all of that except I am very goal oriented. I have a lot of programming experience beginning with a C course I took in the 90s and I am now trying to decide between Unreal Engine (Blueprints/C++), Swift (iOS), and/or Kotlin (Android). I’m not sure if I should spread myself thin, or just focus on one of these three. Perhaps a lot of people quit iOS (or some other platform) because something else that has more upside to them comes along. I wonder if it’s better to become a guru in one area of specialization rather than a jack of all trades. Any opinions out there on this?

Thanks Chris! This video is something that I needed right now👍🏽

Great, I have been always the beginner. I learned coding mainly web development several times, but couldn't advance past the Intermediate phase, maybe because I don't enjoy seeing large-ass monitor size to develop. Thus, now I am trying to get into mobile app development, and curious in ios development specifically, because of its aesthetics as well as smooth functionalities. Hopefully, I can finally go through this

can someone help me please ..
i have a SWIFTUI application with a flow as follows: A(landscape also when I navigate back from C to B it should turn back to landscape as B is in landscape. (I am using NavigationLink in my application to navigate)How do I achieve the portrait lock in swiftUI.


i tried the .onAppear{} and .onDisappear{} method.. (firstly it is no longer available on ios 16 and secondly it gives a choppy animation where the view does not expand fully to take the new rotated screen size; there is white space after it rotates)

My tip is to practice as often as possible but don’t rush through the tutorials

My struggle is the long term goal funny enough.. that and being visually illiterate lol. I can make something if someone told me, but man.. I'm not good with making it aesthetically pleasing. Also don't know how to complete my long term goa - money making. Again, I don't personally have many idea's for own app ideas. Seems like the markets pretty saturated in general at least. Companies.. well, that's hard to come by for an Iowan.

Is it true that there won't be a need for programmers in the next 5 years cuz AI will do all the work?
