Goodbye Baba (Dad)

It was Friday the 9th of May 2025. A typical Friday. I woke up made coffee, started my work and expected the usual family video call.

As usual, my phone rings. I see both my mum and dad on the call. I had this bug that I was fixing and a queue of pull requests to review, so I quickly say good morning, ask how they are doing and say goodbye. I didn’t know this would be the last goodbye.

My dad had a normal day, he woke up and called me and my mum. My brother had breakfast with him and went to Friday prayers with him. A typical Friday routine.

I will miss you dad. I looked up to you in everything in life. You never held a grudge, you never hurt anyone, and you loved sharing your knowledge and your craft.

iOS Build System Sucks

The day I open Xcode and do something with build configuration, I know it going to be a loooong day!

Why is the iOS build system stuck in this messy situation?

It makes me miss gradle 🐘
