Hey, I’m Adrian, an Android developer and today, I did some swift. Hypothesis Have an already build iOS app written in Swift 3 that works amazing.

I think it’s been a little over a month since I started implementing tests. Recently, I delivered my first full testable app and although I’m just at the beginning, i can feel a huge difference in my coding style. Let me explain. I didn’t feel much of a difference at first, but I opened an […]
