300 newsletter issues!
I can't send you this newsletter without highlighting this incredible milestone.
300 newsletter issues, 300 weeks of keeping Swift developers up to date. It’s crazy to realize I’ve been doing this since March 2020!
It all started small, with just a few subscribers. The email was far from high-quality, but it did deliver the weekly new article I already published every week.
Slowly but surely, the newsletter subscribers count grew towards 30K+ today. Numbers are often hard to really value, but imagine 30,000 iOS developers standing in front of you every week, waiting for you to say:

To celebrate this milestone, I'd love to run an exclusive giveaway for you as a subscriber. Anyone that invites at least 1 subscriber will have a chance of winning the latest AirPods Pro 3.
Here's how you can join:
