Refreshed the iOS Dev Session-Start Tool With Current Platform Facts and Shipping Discipline
Took a tool I built earlier that primes me with current iOS platform facts at the start of any iOS coding session, and brought it forward six weeks. Found its baseline was stale — pointing at older versions of the platform, compiler, and language right as a hard App Store deadline was four days away. Refreshed all of that, added a new section on the operational discipline that actually keeps shipped apps alive (crash reporting, environment separation, real staging, schema migrations, the unsexy stuff), and wrote a longer companion reference for when the one-page version isn't enough. Paired it with a battery of five binary tests so I can tell whether the tool is actually changing how I work versus just printing words.
