SwiftPH Meetup! AI + iOS Development
Hi All! We have finalized our speakers and topics for the month of April!
Mark Kevin King will be discussing Framework Fatigue: When Tools Become Tyrants.
We've all been there: A new framework drops, the community hypes it up, and suddenly it's the "right" choice for every project. But what if the real problem isn't the framework—it's how we decide?
In this talk, we'll challenge the myth that the tool is the bottleneck. Through real examples and hard-earned lessons, we'll explore:
Why hype is a terrible decision-making framework (pun intended)
The patterns that actually matter — and why they survive framework churn
How to separate signal from noise when everyone's pitching the next big thing
Making principled choices that scale with your team, not against it
When to migrate, when to refactor, when to stick it out — and how to know the difference
