Ah, here we go again.
Welcome to my new newsletter! I am sending this mail because you either subscribed to my newsletter in the past (Random Ramblings) or the professional one (rryam Swift weekly).
I plan to simplify my life next year. One newsletter. Every Monday. (Merry Christmas, so this one goes on a Tuesday!)
If you are an iOS developer, you may know why I used the name Rudrank's Dispatch. I used to slap DispatchQueue.main.async every time I faced an asynchronous bug. Yep, you may be guilty of doing it too!
It is about my thoughts, work, and books I read during the week.
Posts I published
I started this new website again to reignite my love for writing. I do not want to be all things Apple Platforms development. I just want to be me. I love to write, and I know people love to read what I write.
There are three articles that I want to share. I am mostly exploring and writing about my public speaking experiences, which I hope inspire you to get on the stage and share your knowledge with others!
Exploring Conferences: Speaking at Meet-ups, Swift Delhi 20, my first official public speaking experience that went well, fortunately!
Exploring Conferences: Speaking at Meet-ups, Swift Delhi 21, my first lightning talk experience that I butchered, unfortunately, sigh.
Exploring Google AI SDK for Swift: Gemini AI Model for Text Only Input, Google's new SDK for handling requests and responses for text-only input to their latest Gemini model.
Sponsor
A shoutout to RevenueCat for sponsoring the website and this newsletter! I have been an unofficial advocate since 2020, using it for personal and client apps.
Their latest feature, Paywalls, helps you add paywalls in one line of code. I already used it at work, making it much quicker to iterate, edit, remotely configure and test your app's paywalls!
Quote of the Week
I started a new book after a long while. I like reading, and as usual, I have a New Year resolution to inculcate the habit again. I remember engrossing myself in Steve Jobs by Isaacson, Walter. When I saw that he wrote an authorised biography of Elon Musk, I immediately put it on my wish list. I am around 110 pages into the book, and it is well-written, as expected by Walter. The below line is not a quote, apologies, but the stark difference in how someone thinks is to appreciate.
While other entrepreneurs struggled to develop a worldview, he developed a cosmic view.
Conclusion
I want to keep the first edition concise and explore more based on the feedback. If you have any suggestions or requests, please reply to this email. Thank you for subscribing!
