The Developer Journey
summary
Advocates for upgrading on a feature branch with the Xcode migrator, using git diff to identify only the code paths that change, adding automated tests for those paths, and committing the minimal migration to avoid regressions. Recommends graceful adoption of new APIs via availability checks (dark mode) and bridging UIKit/SwiftUI with UIHostingController or UIViewRepresentable. Encourages simple abstractions—composable closures and child view controllers—instead of overengineered generics, and reserves one hour per week for focused, fun follow-up learning.
