iOS: Swift Data and CloudKit
Swift Data is a new way for iOS developers to save data on an iOS device. It replaces Core Data which can be a pain in the ass to learn and use (yes, I HATE Core Data and wish it would just fade away).
YouTuber Azam Sharp shows you not only how to use Swift Data, but also how to intergrade it with CloudKit.
This video is a sample of his CloudKit course on Udemy.com.

Hannah Waddingham: No word of a ‘Ted Lasso’ spinoff at all
Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas features special appearances from all of the stars of Ted Lasso, the hit Apple TV+ series that made her a household name around the world.
The special kicks off with Waddingham entering the London Coliseum, singing, “What Christmas Means to Me.” Nick Mohammed greets her at the door, followed by Leslie Odom Jr., Sam Ryder, Luke Evans and more of her Ted Lasso co-stars — Brendan Hunt, Kola Bokinni, Billy Harris, James Lance and Phil Dunster — as well as her 8-year-old daughter, welcoming her to the performing arts theater.
Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein and, yes, even Jason Sudeikis are also featured in the special at different points…
THR: I do have to admit, it was so nice seeing so much of the Ted Lasso cast together onscreen. Have there been any discussions of any possible spinoffs?
Hannah Waddingham: Everyone keeps asking this, but no, there’s been no word of a spinoff at all, and I have made it quite clear that unless Ted was in it… I can’t imagine really a world where Rebecca exists without Ted because they are each other’s inspiration.

Apple employees who leave are most likely to join Google
To find which tech giants attract the most talent from competitors, Switch on Business explored employee profiles on Linkedin for a selection of tech companies.
First, Switch on Business searched how many employees currently worked in these companies: Google (Alphabet), Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, IBM, Tesla, Oracle, Netflix, Nvidia, Salesforce, Adobe, Intel and Uber. Then, for each pair of companies, it searched for employees who currently work in each tech giant and previously worked for each other company from the seed list.
Switch on Business then calculated the count and % of current employees at each tech giant who previously worked at other tech giants.
Some 26.51% of Meta employees have worked at another tech giant — the highest proportion of any tech giant workforce.
However, Google has attracted the most talent by volume: 38,316 (24.15%) of their current staff came via other tech giants.
IBM headhunts the least, with just 2.28% of the current workforce having previously worked for another tech giant.
Apple’s biggest hunting ground is Intel, a company with which they formerly had a close relationship. Until recently, Apple used Intel chips in its desktop and laptop computers, but the company has long had the intention of developing its own chips — and the company now believes it has edged ahead in designing and manufacturing computer parts. Apple also bought Intel’s modem division, which came with 2,000 former Intel employees and further strengthened the case for other Intel veterans hoping for a shot at an Apple job. Apple has its fair share of ex-Google employees, not least due to hiring Google Maps developers for its own map applications.
