I was told there would be benefits Medium daily digest decided to recommend this article to me. It’s funny because the author who claims to be iOS tech lead all but admits that view model is boilerplate code. Quote: When implemented outside of the Microsoft stack, the presence of a declarative data binding technology is what makes…

Ahh… Clean Code, MVVM, RxSwift. Wilful traitors, all. This episode of making fun of MVVM I just love how MVVM devs never seem to be able to write something self-contained. In this episode I’m going to show how MVVM used view model to do view controller’s job, then used networking to do view model’s job, and ended…

How to properly use SwiftUI pattern without MVVM A quick code review while waiting to play Elden Ring Came across this gem (Implementing Clean MVVM With SwiftUI)on google. Take your time to read the linked article written by “senior” ios developer who “live and breathe ios”. Let’s examine why it’s not clean and why MVVM is an anti-pattern. Rename NotificationSettingsViewModel to NotificationSettingsHandler and nothing changes

This is going to be a hot take to explain why I think view model is obsolete in SwiftUI and can be replaced by state management. If you feel legacy MVVM pattern in SwiftUI is awkward or not that useful when implementing, that is because MVVM devs never bother to…

You know their codes are shit when the only technical argument a dev can make is to block you For a guy with 1.1K followers, this guy sure is thin-skinned I asked some legit questions in this article: My basic HttpManager in Swift In which the dude claims to make network requests even easier. …

An example of why MVVM sucks shit in iOS You know you suck when some MVC guy can teach you how to do MVVM This is what a typical iOS MVVM tutorial would cover: Trash Apple MVC Ignore binding, or worse, try to do it manually like it’s no big deal Build around this retarded ambiguous shit called view model, which is nether a view…

Why we should NOT use RxSwift Strike first Just watched this article: Why should we use RxSwift, in which several comparisons are made against UIKit. This is good, because most RxSwift tutorials downplayed this part. They never bother considering SDK alternatives because of the agenda they want to push. The problem is…

With Reactive MVVM + Coordinator, and RxDataSources How do you do the simplest task in the most complex way in iOS? By using every design pattern known to men simultaneously. As shown in this epic article: Reactive MVVM and the Coordinator Pattern Done Right Full disclosure, I got blocked by the dude for pointing out flaws in his grand design. But no this ain’t…

Aren’t you tired of massive view model with complex dependencies? Introducing MVC Nothing fancy. Just follow Apple SDK, but with some refactoring in mind. Now let’s refactor the supposed-to-be refactor of MVC: Refactor MVC iOS App to MVVM with RxSwift in Minutes First let’s get a broad overview of the example app…
