I am genuinely so thankful for my job. Small start up where the founder is funding the whole thing himself and actually works as a dev as he’s able.

The amount of autonomy I’ve had since day 1 is wonderful. I put in a lot of time because I enjoy the work. My pay is a little low but not bad and usually increases by a lot each year. We’re 100% remote.

I just can’t imagine willingly leaving after reading the nonsense that most of you are dealing with. I got so lucky and you can pry my current job from my cold, dead hands.

For iOS you can still use Objective C, but there are additions to platform frameworks and whole new frameworks that are Swift first. I don’t really know how hard it would be to use those APIs from Objective C. Swift is certainly the default going forward.

I don’t work on Android but my understanding is that Java hasn’t and isn’t going anywhere on Android. Kotlin is supposed to be great but I haven’t heard mention of Java being dropped.
