Swift over Coffee

Such a great podcast for anyone at all involved with Swift development. The hosts provide great insights into their programming techniques and talk about updated news in the Swift world. The open ballot answers provide really useful information about how others work on a huge variety of developer topics.

The first season with Paul Hudson and Sean Allen was pretty good. As a fan of Sean’s YouTube content, I found that a large portion of the Season 1 content overlapped with Sean’s YouTube and other podcast content and focused on contemporary news. Erica Sadun’s presence in Season 2 is a very welcome change. Erica is the top contributor to Swift evolution and brings an unprecedented level of technical expertise to this podcast that can’t be found anywhere else. She’s also an excellent personality that complements Paul with great banter. I’m very excited to see where this podcast goes!

I have recently gotten into iOS development as of the last 6 months. I have been learning UIKit, SwiftUI, and anything else I can get my hands on for the last few months, and Hacking With Swift has helped me so much. I then realized how much complexity there is in the furthering of apple products and the Swift language so had to figure out how to keep up with it. And this podcast has been a blessing for keeping up with the latest Swift news and learning more about topics that I have just scratched the surface of. I have listened through most of Season 1 and all of the current 2 episodes of Season 2, and it has been wonderful to hear the opinions of experienced developers to learn from. Thank you so much to Sean, Paul, and Erica for helping us new developers. Keep up the amazing work!

Swift Over Coffee recently popped up in my podcast feed. I had been following Sean Allen and Paul Hudson’s content for a while, but must have missed the release of the podcast. I am so glad I found it though. The hosts present updates on iOS dev culture and bits of Swift knowledge in a very fluent manner. They provide high level overviews of articles and Swift releases. These overviews are easy to follow and are a great way to stay productive while commuting. Thanks Paul and Sean!

I fell in love with this podcast on Season 1. I'm going through Paul's 100 days of swift ui so i started listening to get more plugged into the community. For season 2 i was really excited that Erica would be joining since her efforts in swift were mentioned in season 1. Unfortunately it seems like the podcast is now a lot less focused and certainly a lot more sporadic. Season 1 tried to stick around 30 minutes and it gave each episode this sharpening focus. Now its a lot more rambling and off topic discussion. I love Erica and Paul but for the podcast i recommend setting a time budget of 30 minutes to guarantee only the best makes it in and kicking it back to twice a month.
