To kick off this season of Fatal Error, Chris and Soroush discuss code generation in Swift: what, why, and how?

Chris and Soroush spent the last 18 weeks discussing the things they think are important to consider in building software. In the final episode of Fatal Error Season 1, they make the case for why it's important to think about these concepts — and just as crucially, how to use technical debt effectively.

Today on Fatal Error: a crash course on a bunch of useful concepts for testing iOS apps in Swift.

Soroush tells Chris about some of his takeaways from Eric Evans (https://www.infoq.com/author/Eric-Evans)'s book, Domain-Driven Design (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321125215/), and they discuss how we can apply some of its lessons in our day-to-day thinking about iOS development.

A responsibility is an axis of change — a potential motivation for change.

Singletons get a bad rap. Why? Should you use them in your application? And if you've inherited several of them, what should you do?

After recording Episode 2 (http://fatalerror.fm/episodes/2016/8/13/2-view-models), Soroush remembered some other questions about View Models. In this special half-episode, your hosts answer even more View Model questions.

In our second episode, we discuss view models. Chris starts with a bold definition of what they are, and more importantly, what they aren't. Soroush raises some concerns he's had with view models, and Chris explains his approach. Finally, we touch on how reactive programming is related to view models.

In our first episode, we talk coordinators. What are they? How do you use them? How did they come to be? How do they relate to storyboards? Your intrepid hosts answer these questions and more.
