Guides from the delivery side
Practical, opinionated guides written from shipping real products, not theory. 6+ years of production work and 25+ apps live in the App Store.

How to define the Swift work, 2026 rates, and the concurrency, SwiftUI and StoreKit skills that predict delivery.
Engagement models, 2026 rates, New Architecture and Expo skills to test for, and where cross-platform hires usually stall.
Engagement models, 2026 rates, the technical skills to test for, and a vetting process you can run in two weeks.
