Level Up: Build a Quiz App with SwiftUI – Part 3
In the third lesson of the series, we’ll continue to incorporate the MVVM architecture and build a view model for our quiz app which mediates communication between the view and the model. Additionally, we’ll build a game model structure and add more questions and functionality for new questions to appear as the user advances through…
Diagnose engineering process failures with data visualization
Here's three areas where data visualization can make your engineering life easier.
You’re living in the Metaverse, you just don’t know it yet.
The concept of the Metaverse was coined by sci-fi author Neal Stephenson decades ago. Have we reached some meaningful inflection point in our journey towards this dream?

Level Up: Build a Quiz App with SwiftUI – Part 2
In the second lesson of the series, we’ll add state to our quiz app so that it can show users whether they answered correctly. We’ll also build out a model for our quiz questions, and add a settings tab. Here are some Stack Overflow questions related to the work we did in today’s session: What…
Using stretch work assignments to help engineers grow
Stretch work assignments are tasks or projects that are a bit beyond an engineer’s current skill or knowledge level and that allow them to improve and learn new things. When done correctly these assignments serve a dual purpose of providing learning opportunities for your engineers, while at the same time completing a project or task that will help your company.
Level Up: Build a Quiz App with SwiftUI – Part 1

The strange domain names that developers bought
Not every domain is serious business. Here's a few of the fun ones that we at Stack Overflow owned, as well as those owned by our community.
How writing can advance your career as a developer
“In their first few years on the job, engineers spend roughly 30% of their workday writing, while engineers in middle management write for 50% to 70% of their day; those in senior management reportedly spend over 70% and as much as 95% of their day writing.” - Jon Leydens
700,000 lines of code, 20 years, and one developer: How Dwarf Fortress is built
Dwarf Fortress is one of those oddball passion projects that’s broken into Internet consciousness. It’s a free game where you play either an adventurer or a fortress full of dwarves in a randomly generated fantasy world. The simulation runs deep, with new games creating multiple civilizations with histories, mythologies, and artifacts. I reached out to him to see how he’s managed a single, growing codebase over 15+ years, the perils of pathing, and debugging dead cats. Our conversation below has been edited for clarity.
Level Up: Linear Regression in Python – Part 8
In the eighth and final lesson of the series we’ll practice everything we’ve learned to date by loading and preparing some data, fitting a few different models, and comparing them. This is an open-ended session where we’ll examine some questions from our audience and demonstrate what a data analysis workflow could look like. If you…
