A big part of my personal success with using programming agents at work is—I have to say—I finished building the best-architected foundation of my life at the end of Summer 2025. I started with Swift 6 and that forced me to reinvent a lot of wheels and pursue an annoying level of rigor and correctness. UIKit scaffolding and navigation, predominantly SwiftUI screens, cross-framework design system, exclusively AsyncSequence-based data sources, all meticulously documented. The kindling was there.
