Reposting my introduction from the old account: My name is Kuba (Jakub), I live in Kraków, Poland 🇵🇱🇪🇺 I used to work as a web developer (Rails+JS, before the Node era), then I fell in love with the Mac 🍎 and moved to #iOSDev / #MacDev. I like #Swift, but I also still love using #Ruby. I mostly work on my own projects now with a goal to become a proper #IndieDev one day. From time to time I write really long blog posts. I'm also a big fan of #Bitcoin (I worked on a Mac wallet app a while ago).

Time to finally do an #introduction! I’ve been fascinated by the #web since I first got on the internet when I was a teenager. The idea that anyone could create a website — how cool is that!? I’ve been a #Mac user even longer (my parents were in education and my mom would bring home her office Mac Classic on the weekends). Being creative with #HyperCard and wanting to make dynamic websites eventually got me into #programming. First with #Perl, later #PHP, and now #JavaScript and #TypeScript. I’ve also had some fun with #C, #ObjectiveC, and #Swift. For 14 years I worked at a small company that makes the premier CMS for the #AltWeekly press in the US. Now I work on web applications in #React in the far-more corporate world. I also used to co-organize TucsonJS and Tucson React meetups.

I had a hunch that I could take on tasks that I used to do with Python + matplotlib + Jupyter with Swift Charts + SwiftUI + Playgrounds instead. But I had no idea it’d be this nice and easy. Plus I find the default result better looking and I have much more control over everything around the chart, like labels, titles etc. This will change everything for me when working with charts. #Swift #SwiftLang #SwiftUI #SwiftCharts #SwiftPlaygrounds
