I have over 10 years of experience in iOS, with strong knowledge of Objective-C and Swift. Currently based in Barcelona and looking to relocate to Amsterdam next year.
I am currently working in Munich, but seeking an opportunity to work in Barcelona. I have a large experience in mobile and back-end development and hope to find a position as a team leader or as senior developer.
I am long-time iOS developer, since version 3, having worked with Objective-C and now with Swift (and modern patterns like MVVM and RxSwift). I have experience with back-end development too, working with Python, PHP and building the API for some of my own apps.
I am currently working in Munich (Germany) and looking for a freelancer job on my spare time.
And my Github, where you can see that I am part of some open source projects and an early stakeholder of Swift Server Side Workgroup: https://github.com/rabc
I didn't believe when I received their email about it and bashing Let's Encrypt initiative. If StartSSL could do it, why they haven't done it years ago? Bunch of scumbags.
I am an iOS Developer since 2010, with apps published for the companies I've worked for and as an independent developer. Currently I'm looking for an opportunity in Europe to work on new products and new challenges.
I'm a long-time iOS developer, with experience with server-side development using Python and Flask. I'm currenly looking for a job in Canada and I'll start the immigration process in the next months.
I didn't go through all the comments on the thread, but so far what I've seen is just bullshit. People around here are reading too much the DSM (or going to the wrong therapist, pick one).
You have anxiety, OP? Good! Most of us have to deal with it. No, I'm not saying "stop it and cheer up!". It's a real problem, but doesn't need to be a problem that will make your life stop.
I went to a roller-coaster of emotions in the last 2, 3 years (from valleys of depression and anxiety to peaks of extreme happiness). I went through everything you said, the impostor syndrome is the fuckin' worst shit that can happen to someone. This train still hits me, sometimes. That's not easy.
How did I overcame it? Changing my thoughts. The impostor syndrome faded away when I realized that the people around me don't know what they're doing, too! Nobody knows how everything works and I'm still looking for answers about how the world didn't meltdown yet.
See? I didn't get any better changing my mind by saying that I'm good and I know what I'm doing. I got better because now I see that everyone are lost, just like me!
Fear of embarrassment? Learn to fix quickly what you did wrong. Nobody will notice nor will care if everything is working. And when you see that other people are lost too, as I said above, you won't care if you're good or don't.
At the end of the day, it's just you that matters. You don't need to proof you're good to everyone. You know that you're good because the point you've reached in your life.
I'm a Software Engineer with experience in integrating two sides of a project (example: a mobile app with a backend API, doing both at the same time or working close with one of the sides), fixing a database structure and informations (migrating from an old to a new way of doing things) and starting projects from scratch, with a total of 9 years of professional coding experience.
I'm an iOS developer since the old days of iOS 3, always an indie developer and being a full-time developer for 3 years. In the indie life I had the opportunity to build a bunch of apps that have been published sometime along the years and 2 apps that are current live in the app store (contact me for more information).
"Here, take all this money and be quiet about everything we do". That's not how a healthy society works.
Google are sponsoring Code Club not because they're good guys, but because they have some business interest in it.
They must be accountable for their actions, good or bad. Linda Sandvik expressed her believes as a person and she did great not accepting being silenced just because she was hurting the feelings of a big company.
(Just a friendly reminder for everyone else: remember to delete the app from you Facebook. You can find it by the name you.me.we on Settings > App Settings)
Something like that. Then you can make a selection based by github, mobile apps published (counting even the non-worldwide apps, for developers from other countries like me), academy works and other projects (websites, hardware, etc).
Great idea, but it seems to be designed for well connected people. I don't know anyone outside my country and I really want to work abroad someday (I had plans for it in the past year, but have to abort the idea for some reasons and want to try again next year).
How can I appear in the newsletter? Just asking a friend to send me in the form? But maybe he's not a well connected person too, and the 2 referrals in the latest newsletter[1] are from people who live and work in the startup world.
So, in the end, it becomes a lottery: ask someone to send your name and wait for your luck.
Brazilian developers don't google in portuguese because they know it'll always be faster to search in english, but I have seen a lot of developers struggling to find the answer in english because they can't understand and don't know how to search.
