This is a guard that tracks down UIKit access on threads other than main. This snippet is taken from the commercial iOS PDF framework http://pspdfkit.com, but relicensed under MIT. Works because a lot of calls internally call setNeedsDisplay or setNeedsLayout. Won't catch everything, but it's very lightweight and usually does the job.You might n…

// You should only use this in debug builds. It doesn't use private API, but I wouldn't ship it.

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

gruber / Liberal Regex Pattern for Web URLs
Last active April 22, 2025 16:56
Liberal, Accurate Regex Pattern for Matching Web URLs
The regex patterns in this gist are intended only to match web URLs -- http,
https, and naked domains like "example.com". For a pattern that attempts to
match all URLs, regardless of protocol, see: https://gist.github.com/gruber/249502

Your goals are to reduce the number of things that you have to keep in your head at any given moment, and to rely as little as possible on your own ability to consistently do things right.
If you make a thing immutable ('let' in swift), you never have to think about what happens if it changes, or what other parts of the code you'll effect if you change it.
If you split complex functions into several smaller functions that only interact by passing arguments or getting return values, then you limit the amount of code you need to consider when hunting for a bug, and you can test each small piece separately.
If you understand what things must be true in your code (aka invariants, for example "a person's age must be greater than 0"), and either provide no function that can cause them to be untrue, or check and crash immediately when they're untrue, then you don't have to debug issues caused by incorrect assumptions.
If you remove possibilities (for example, Swift removes the possibility of things being nil unless
