My book: Being a Lead Software Developer
Welcome to a special edition of a podcast. I'm interviewing Chad GPT. So I was listening to another podcast by the cyber wire network. And they did a fun thing. They basically had a conversation with Chad Deepti and transcribe that into audio. And it was focused strictly on security related professionals. So people who do network security and device security and all those kinds of things. And it was such a fun and inspiring conversation that I thought I let's try this myself as well. So what I did, I just had a text console open with chatty putty had like a written conversation with Chad GPT then took the entire body of text that was typed by me and generated by Chad GPT. And I transcribed the written parts by Chad tip T into a spoken format, by using a machine model. I think it's the Siri force that I used. And next adapt, I made sure that I would dub my spoken content instead of the senses that I actually typed into the chat GPT interface. So I'm asking a couple questions. It's, it goes a bit all over the place. It's actually quite a lot of fun, I think. And at the end of the conversation with chatty putty, I'll do a short recap and some commentary on the results that Chetcuti actually provided me with. So enjoy the conversation. This is a bit of a different one. Hi, and welcome to my podcast. Are you okay with being interviewed by me?
ChatGPT:Yes, I am an AI language model created by open AI. So I am always ready to assist and answer questions. Go ahead and ask me anything you would like to know.
Jeroen Leenarts:Cool. So let's begin with your origins. Where are you from?
ChatGPT:I was created by open AI, a research organization based in San Francisco, California, open eyes dedicated to developing and promoting friendly air that benefits humanity. I was trained on a vast amount of text data from the internet to generate human like responses to text based queries.
Jeroen Leenarts:And how long are you in existence? When were you created?
ChatGPT:Open AI was founded in 2015. And I was created as a language model in the following years. My training data consists of text from the internet, which was current up until 2021. As of my creation date, I was one of the largest language models, and I continue to be updated and improved upon by open AI,
Jeroen Leenarts:since my podcast is about iOS development. I reckon you know about that, too.

Please feel free to ask me any questions you have.
Jeroen Leenarts:Oh, wow, that's pretty amazing. Where should we start?
ChatGPT:Sure. Let's start with a basic question. What would you like to know about iOS development? I am here to help with any questions you have.
Jeroen Leenarts:How long have people been doing iOS development? Let's start with that.
ChatGPT:iOS development started in 2008, when Apple Inc, first released the iPhone. With the introduction of the iPhone, Apple also released the iOS operating system and the SDK Software Development Kit for developers to create native apps for the platform. Since then, iOS development has become a popular and lucrative field with millions of apps available on the App Store. The popularity of the iOS platform, and the increasing demand for iOS apps have created numerous job opportunities and a thriving ecosystem of third party tools and services for developers. You mentioned lucrative, yes, iOS development can be a lucrative career option for developers. The popularity of the iOS platform and the increasing demand for iOS apps have created a large market for app development services. This has resulted in high demand for skilled iOS developers, which in turn has driven up salaries and freelance rates for iOS development work. Additionally, many IO OS developers have created successful apps that generate significant revenue through the App Store further highlighting the potential for financial success in the field. However, it's important to note that success in iOS development, like any field requires a combination of skills, hard work, and a bit of luck, and what role could you play in that? As an air language model? I can play a role in supporting and enabling IO s development in several ways, one, providing information and answering questions, I can provide information and answer questions about various aspects of iOS development, such as Swift programming, scurred, iOS app design and development and app submission to the App Store to supporting code development. I can assist with writing code by suggesting snippets providing examples and answering syntax related questions.

Overall, I can be a valuable resource for iOS developers looking to improve their skills, efficiency and overall experience in the field.
Jeroen Leenarts:It sounds like you can do many things. What do iOS developers ask you most often?
ChatGPT:As an air language model, I receive a wide range of questions from iOS developers on various topics, including one Swift programming. Many developers ask about Swift syntax, language features, best practices, and common design patterns. to scold. Developers often ask about scouts, user interface, debugging tools, and how to use scout for iOS development, three, iOS app design and development. This includes questions about app architecture, UI UX design, and how to implement specific features or functionality in an app for app submission to the App Store. This includes questions about preparing up submissions, navigating the review process, and resolving common issues that can arise during app submission. Overall, iOS developers asked me a wide range of questions related to different aspects of iOS development, and I do my best to provide accurate and helpful answers to support their work and learning.
Jeroen Leenarts:Okay, what is the best iOS app architecture them?
ChatGPT:The best iOS app architecture is subjective and depends on the specific requirements and goals of each app. However, there are several widely used and well established architectural patterns that are commonly used in iOS app development. Some of the most popular iOS app architectures include one MVC model view controller. MVC is a classic design pattern that has been widely used in iOS app development for many years. It provides a clear separation of concerns between the data model, the user interface, and the control logic, to MVVM Model View. ViewModel. MVVM, is a variant of MVC that is designed to support more modern, reactive and testable app architectures. It provides a clear separation between the data model, the user interface, and the view model, which handles presentation logic. Three Viper Viper is a relatively new architecture that is designed to provide a clean and maintainable structure for complex iOS apps. It stands for view interactor, presenter, entity and router and provides a clear separation of responsibilities for each component. Each of these architectures has its strengths and weaknesses. And the best architecture for a specific app will depend on factors such as the app size, complexity and requirements, it's important to choose an architecture that best fits the needs of the app and provides a solid foundation for future development and maintenance.
Jeroen Leenarts:How can you assist a developer with choosing the right architecture than
ChatGPT:as an error language model? I can assist the developer with choosing the right architecture by one providing information, I can provide detailed information on different app architectures, including their strengths and weaknesses. And when they are most appropriate to use to answering questions, I can answer specific questions that a developer might have about different architectures such as how they are implemented and what challenges they present three. offering examples, I can provide code examples that demonstrate how different architectures can be used in practice, helping developers to better understand the concepts and how they can be applied to their own apps. for providing resources, I can provide resources such as articles, tutorials, and sample projects that can help developers learn more about different app architectures and make informed decisions about which architecture is best for their specific app. In summary, I can assist a developer with choosing the right architecture by providing information, answering questions, offering examples, and providing resources, which can help the developer make an informed decision about which architecture is best suited to their needs.
Jeroen Leenarts:What are some resources available iOS app architecture that you recommend?
ChatGPT:There are many resources available on iOS app architecture that can be helpful for developers looking to learn more about this topic? Here are a few resources I would recommend one, Apple's iOS human interface guidelines. This is a comprehensive resource that provides guidance on app design, user experience, and architecture. It includes information on how to design intuitive and well structured apps, and is a must read for all iOS developers to re render Liches iOS architecture patterns. This is a comprehensive guide that covers several popular IO, s AP architectures, including MVC, MVVM, and Viper. It provides clear explanations, diagrams, and code examples to help developers understand how each architecture works, and when it is most appropriate to use three of Chios app architecture. This is a book that provides a deep dive into different iOS app architectures, and offers practical advice on how to design and implement well structured and maintainable iOS apps for iOS app architecture, a series of blog posts by my cash this is a series of blog posts by my cash, a seasoned iOS developer that provides in depth coverage of different iOS app architectures and offers practical hints sights and best practices for designing and implementing iOS apps. Five, Apple's WWDC videos Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference. WWDC is an annual event where developers can learn about the latest technologies, frameworks and best practices for iOS app development. Many of the sessions are recorded and made available online. And these videos provide a wealth of information on iOS app architecture, and design. These are just a few of the many resources available on iOS app architecture. And I would recommend exploring these and other resources to gain a deeper understanding of this important topic. Show me a fire per example. Here is a simple example of how the Viper architecture could be used in an iOS app. One view, the view is responsible for displaying the data and handling user interactions. In iOS. This is typically implemented as a UI view controller to interact her. The interrupter is responsible for performing the business logic of the app. In this example, it might be responsible for fetching data from a remote API three presenter, the presenter is responsible for processing the data returned by the interactor and preparing it for display by the view for entity, the entity is a data model that represents the app's data. In this example, it might be a model that represents a user or a list of users five router, the router is responsible for handling navigation between different parts of the app. In this example, it might be responsible for showing the view when the user taps a button or for navigating to another screen when the user selects a user from the list. Here's a simple code example in Swift that demonstrates how these components could interact in a viper based iOS app.
Jeroen Leenarts:Chet TPT now provides me with some Swift code that I've put as an example in my show notes, so you can find it there.
ChatGPT:In this example, the view User List View Controller communicates with the presenter user list presenter, which in turn communicates with the interactor user list interactor. To fetch data. The presenter then communicates the results back to the view and the router, use a list router to handle navigation. This is just a simple example to give you an idea of how the Viper architecture could be used in an iOS app. In a real world app, the components would likely be more complex and include additional protocols and delegates to handle more advanced scenarios.
Jeroen Leenarts:That's some pretty advanced stuff. You mentioned iOS development as being a potentially lucrative career. What are typical ways for people to get into this field.
ChatGPT:There are several ways for people to get into iOS development, including one self study. One of the most common ways to get into iOS development is by learning on your own.

Jeroen Leenarts:Let's go back to that to do a project you suggest it's Can you provide a more step by step approach for people to follow along with?
ChatGPT:Sure, here's a step by step approach to building a simple Tado app in iOS one. Start by setting up a new project in Xcode, choose the Single View app template and give your project a name to create a model for your todo items. This could be as simple as a class with a title property and a completed property. Three, set up a table view in your main view controller to display the list of Tado items. You'll want to use a TableView Cell prototype to display each item in the list for or create an add button in your main view controller. When this button is tapped, you will want to show a new view controller that allows the user to add a new Tado item five. In the new view controller, add a text field for the user to enter the title of the todo item, and a button to save the new item. When the save button is tapped, you want to add the new item to your model, and then dismiss the view controller to return to the main view six, implement the checkmark accessory for each TableView cell to allow the user to mark an item as completed. When an item is marked as completed, you'll want to update its completed property in your model seven, add the ability to edit and delete items in the table view. You can implement this by adding an edit button to your main view controller. And then using Table View delegate methods to respond to user actions such as swipe to delete or tap to edit. This is a basic outline of how to build a simple Tado app in iOS. By following these steps, you will be able to create a functional app that covers many of the basics of iOS development, including user interfaces, data storage, and basic interaction. Of course, you can always build upon this basic app to add more features and functionality. But this should give you a solid foundation to work from.
Jeroen Leenarts:And you can help out by providing a lot of the boilerplate code, right?
ChatGPT:Yes, I can provide some boilerplate code to help people get started on their todo app project. However, it's important to note that writing code is only one part of the learning process. And it's just as important for developers to understand why certain decisions are made, such as which design patterns to use, how to handle data, persistence, and more. That's why it's recommended to follow along with tutorials or courses, read books or articles, and engage in discussion with other developers to truly grasp the concepts.
Jeroen Leenarts:Something I'm a fan of is something called micro frameworks. Have you heard of those?
ChatGPT:Yes, I have heard of micro frameworks. A micro framework is a minimalistic software framework that provides only the bare essentials required for specific tasks such as routing or data persistence. The idea behind micro frameworks is to allow developers to quickly and easily build small targeted applications without having to include a large number of features and components that they may not need. In iOS development. Some popular micro frameworks include flask, Sinatra and express, they can be a great way to quickly prototype and test ideas, or to build small specialized applications that don't require the overhead of a larger framework. And tourist. Yes, I am familiar with twist. Twist is an open source tool that helps iOS developers manage their scope projects and generate code. It provides a simple, easy to use interface that allows developers to specify the structure of their projects and generate scope projects, targets, and source files based on that structure. With twist, developers can automate the creation of new projects and targets as well as keep those code projects organized and maintainable. Additionally, trust helps to enforce best practices and reduces the amount of boilerplate code that developers need to write. Overall, trust can be a valuable tool for iOS developers looking to streamline their project management and development process doesn't work for micro frameworks to toast is primarily designed to help manage scope projects and generate code, so it is well suited for larger iOS projects that require more extensive management and organization, however, to is can still be used with micro frameworks as it can automate the creation of Xcode project targets and source files. Whether it is the best choice for a particular micro framework project would depend on the specifics of that project and the preferences of the developer. In general, twist can be a useful tool for iOS developers looking to streamline the development process and improve the organization of their projects, regardless of the size or type of the project.
Jeroen Leenarts:What do I search for online to learn more about twist. To learn more

Ultimately, both technologies have their own strengths and weaknesses. And it's important to have a solid understanding of both
Jeroen Leenarts:what programming paradigms are used in iOS development since you mentioned that earlier.
ChatGPT:In iOS development, the main programming paradigms used the object oriented programming, oop Model View Controller, MVC, architecture, and protocol oriented programming hop. These paradigms help to structure the code and ensure that it is maintainable, scalable and efficient. Understanding the basics of these paradigms is essential for iOS developers. Alright, thank you for asking these questions. If your listeners have any further questions, feel free to ask. I'm here to help.
Jeroen Leenarts:Let's close off with a nice poem on everything we discussed. We've talked
ChatGPT:about the world of iOS development, from the history of its creation, to the ways one can break into this profession. We discussed the various architectures Viper being one of the most popular and resources to aid in learning books and podcasts to always be exploring micro frameworks and twist helps streamline the development process. And organizations like cocoa heads and l bringing developers together in Congress, design patterns, Swift UI UI kit, two programming paradigms are what to do, each with its own strengths and benefits. Choosing one depends on your own preferences. So to all aspiring iOS developers with dedication and hard work, you will succeed and with chat GPT as your guide, you will be well on your way to meet your needs. Now do it Arnold Schwarzenegger style, I am not capable of imitating the speaking style of Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, here is a poem summarizing everything we discussed in the previous conversation. The journey to iOS development begins with an eager mind and a thirst to win. You start with Swift, its syntax so neat, the foundation of building an app you will beat, the choices are many, the path is clear UI kit or Swift UI, the choice is near, the best way to start is by coding a Tado. A simple app, but with depth that'll grow. Design Patterns play a crucial role, MVC, MVVM Viper, you'll learn to unfold core data and twist tools you must know to build apps that perform and grow the community is key. And the support is grand meetups, podcasts, and online at hand. Cocoa heads are now a name you should know for they organize events and help you grow. So take this advice and embark on this quest to build apps that shine and always do your best you will face challenges, but with grit and might, you will emerge as a successful iOS developer will write
Jeroen Leenarts:to bet you cannot imitate him. But it was a lot of fun talking to you.
ChatGPT:It was a pleasure talking with you as well. If you have any more questions in the future, feel free to ask, Have a great day.
Jeroen Leenarts:All right, that was a lot of fun. I basically review the entire response body of the chatty party. And it was basically one area that I had some concerns there. And that's when I asked him about the books written by Donnie was I didn't check it outright. So I'm not 100% Sure, but I think actually some books were mentioned that were not a part of the body of work that Dani Walz has created. So it just goes to show that you have to be careful with what Chad cheap GPT provides you with. And that you always have to use your common sense. But I was actually surprised by the amount of insight that a AI could actually generate, based on such a large input of text. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that chat GPT goes up to about 2021, maybe two, maybe a little bit earlier even. So even the code that it generates, it will always be like the way you would be doing things like back in the day back then. So it's not modern, swift and swift UI code to the latest level that we are used to when working in Xcode. So be aware of that. And it goes to show with any other bits of code that you let cheap to generate as well. So the other day, I had to chat GPT generate some, some source code that was like no GS based. It went very well. Copy Pasted, had to fake like three errors in the code and it was actually running. And then I could finish off that bit of code that I needed to do using GitHub co pilot, which was kind of fun, because I mostly did like completions and completions, and a bit of generating. And I ended up with a very basic standard login and registration flow within an OGS. So that was kind of surprising, and also sort of impressing that, for simple use cases, degeneration of source code actually can get you this far. On the other thing, what I noticed with Chet GPT, is that if you're looking for some sort of challenge, you can just let it generate some challenge for you. And also, if you want to recap, older, written documentation, so that's like 2021 or earlier, I must say that Chad GPT does a pretty reasonable job. But the disadvantages is that you have a hard time getting to the actual source material that Chad GPT has used to come to the AI conclusions that it has made. So it's, it's interesting. It's a bit of fun, but I would always check the references before I actually use or rely on something generated by an artificial intelligence like GPT. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this. And I hope you had some insights, what cheap tea can do for you, if you haven't used yet? GPT? Before, one thing I would normally not do is let GPT write content for me. Except for one case that is on my blog. It's my article about obsidian the knowledge, no take thing. I actually had that generated by Chet GPT. From start to finish, they did some minor editing on it. But it also clearly marked the contents as being generated. It was just an experiment to see how it would do what it would actually generate. And yeah, just I think it's important that if you use Chetcuti in any shape, way, or form instead to be clear about that you actually rely on such a tool. And also on top of that. The copyright of anything generated by churchianity is a bit vague at the moment. So there are some lawsuits going on, I think even so be careful with what you take out of a tool like this. So, again, thanks for your time, and thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it very weird, special edition of my podcast.
