In September 2021 Swift 5.5 was released, and it introduced a new native concurrency model for writing asynchronous and parallel code. This model provides a new syntax for running asynchronous operations in a structured way, as well as compiler and runtime support to improve safety and performance. If you are using Xcode 13.2 or newer, you are able to use the new concurrency language features to target iOS versions as far back as iOS 13. However, using any of the new APIs… [continue]
Recognition and Reality
For a 12th year in a row now, E-gineering has been recognized as a best place to work in Indiana. So many people here at E-g are responsible for that – go look at our Whole Team page for the face of each and every one of them! We say “recognized” because before we threw our hat into the BPTW ring for the first time in 2011, we knew we were a great place to work in Indiana. And even… [continue]
Joy and Thankfulness
Before we get started… Surely we can agree that joy doesn’t mean being ecstatic each and every minute. Or as Wyatt Earp comically suggested in the 1993 movie Tombstone, it doesn’t mean we “laugh all day long like an idiot.” In fact, joy can look a lot like peace. And that peace can carry us through those tough times and dark days. Low on joy? Think: thankful There’s a direct link between thankfulness and joy. In fact, it’s a show-stopper… [continue]
One Year of Pandemic
Wow. How has it already been one year? A year ago this week, we all went home from work for two weeks. We watched the news and watched the numbers and wrung our hands over toilet paper shortages… and then we snuggled up on the couch with our pets and our kids to do puzzles and eat snacks and wait it out. Weeks turned to months and in that time we’ve learned. We’ve learned a lot. We started learning about… [continue]
Hacktoberfest! – Celebrating Open Source Software
A quick introduction – Packages, Libraries, and Repos Before we begin, if you’re familiar with these terms, you can skip to the next section. As software developers, we often bring other code into our own projects via “packages,” which are pre-built or pre-packaged libraries that others in the software development community create. At first this might seem strange. But one great thing about it is, the creators of these packages know very well the specific “thing” they’ve been working on…. [continue]
Mental Health Awareness
October is National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month. As a company, mental health is very close to our heart. It’s important to make sure each employee and their mental health is well cared for. Two of our employees, Jen and Rebecca have taken time to write on how we aim to care for our people and their mental health. Rebecca Dean “Weird, just weird.” I’ve heard that, and said that, more in this season than in any other. We’ve… [continue]
Success Is Measured By Faithfulness
Twenty years is a long time when you’re looking ahead at them. But, wow, they sure seem like a blink of the eye when you’re looking back. We started E-g when most of the founding partners were still in their 20s. Back then, leaving stable, well-paying jobs only to launch into the unknown abyss of starting a company seemed … exactly like the thing we should do. Life has a way of mellowing you out. Looking back now, we’re amazed… [continue]
Zoom (Partial) Family Photo
The stories we’ll tell! That’s what we’ve been saying around here as we look to the days ahead. One responsibility of living through these times is to make memories. Most of the E-g family is getting together weekly to catch up on business, but also to stay connected and catch candid glimpses of our families, homes, pets, hobbies, and so on. Whole-company Zoom calls have never happened here before – and they never would have, outside of this crazy season… [continue]
