Announcing SwiftLee Jobs: A go-to place for new Swift career steps.

Over the past few weeks, I've been working hard on swiftleejobs.com. I've been active on the job market for several years now, and I find myself often getting messages from recruiters. However, there's no easy way for me to find Swift-specific job positions with filtering options on tags like Combine, Swift, and SwiftUI.

I decided to use my experience from searching for jobs in the past and bring it all together into a new website for you engineers and companies searching for engineers. My end goal with this website would be to create a destination where you can find jobs and learn about getting a job. You can expect a blog section later this year with articles covering interview preparation, becoming more Senior, tips on resumes, and more.

For now, I would love to invite you over and post your company's job positions for free! Each job position is posted on Twitter, so you can follow that account not to miss anything.

This is a great opportunity for companies to find new engineers. I tried to keep the path to the actual job position as short as possible. Therefore, RSS feeds, links in this newsletter, and featured posts on SwiftLee, will directly point to your full job position. This hopefully increases the chances for engineers to find the right job and for companies to find the right candidates.

As I said, this is just the beginning! If you have ideas to improve SwiftLee Jobs, feel free to reply to this mail.

Enjoy this week's SwiftLee Weekly!

I’ve linked to this technique before, but don’t just skip reading here! Keith Harrison points out that in-memory databases can be great to use with SwiftUI Previews. Clever!
You should know these 7 tips by Bart Jacobs, but do you know them? I did know them, but I do not use them often enough! A great reminder for some extra productivity.
With more and more troubles arising due to GDPR, it's interesting to see a new Crash Reporting service arrive focused solely on Crash Reporting. It’s still early days, but Stacksift promises to “reveal relationships that you never knew were there.”
With the performance of today’s devices, we’re not often looking at performance anymore. However, John Sundell points out that performance can still be an important thing to keep an eye on. In fact, performance issues might occur sooner than you think!
One of those APIs you don’t often see! You might not really need this API, but if you’re developing an app for a certain place, shop, or other building, you will find this super handy to provide easy access to local WIFI. Let Filip Nemecek explain this to you.

Last week, I had a great session together with Vincent Pradeilles in which we (LIVE) created a Result Builder. With questions from the audience, we’ve explored other possibilities in Swift combined with Result Builders. Make sure also to watch the follow-up session from Vincent!
