/*:
 This is a concept re-implementation of the @Binding and @State property wrappers from SwiftUI

 The only purpose of this code is to implement those wrappers myself
   just to understand how they work internally and why they are needed,

 ⚠️ This is not supposed to be a reference implementation nor cover all
      subtleties of the real Binding and State types.
    The only purpose of this playground is to show how re-implementing
      them myself has helped me understand the whole thing better

• Privacy Manifest generator

  Conveniently generate your app PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file.

  Starting on May 1st 2024 Apple requires all apps thet make use of certain APIs to declare this usage in a privacy manifest file.

• We can have a different web

  Many yearn for the “good old days” of the web. We could have those good old days back — or something even better — and if anything, it would be easier now than it ever was.

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

It was wrongly deleted for containing "proprietary information" years later. I think that's bullshit so I am posting it here. Come at me.

The Question

Amazon is a SOA system with 100s of services (or so says Amazon Chief Technology Officer Werner Vogels). How do they handle build and release?
