I published A refresher on SwiftUI state management, async/await, and common patterns, turning a private set of interview-prep notes into a working refresher for the SwiftUI you actually meet in real codebases. It covers the pre-iOS 17 property wrappers next to their @Observable equivalents, async/await as the default for data loading, and the everyday shapes for networking, navigation, and error handling. The next entry in the Swift series, written for the version of me that has been away from SwiftUI long enough to want one page that catches him back up.

I pushed 1263f2d to SwiftyBites as a Friday-night AsyncDebounceDemo for playing with Swift's async and sync edges. The demo compares a view-owned async .task flow with a synchronous button action that cancels and restarts a stored Task, which makes the debounce mechanics feel a lot more concrete than just reading the pattern.

I updated SwiftUI in the Wild: Memory, Concurrency, and the Gaps in the Docs with a clearer explanation of using .task(id:) for debounced work. The change moves that pattern into the debounce section, where SwiftUI's automatic cancellation model fits naturally, and keeps the button-action section focused on manual task ownership tradeoffs.

I published SwiftUI in the Wild: Memory, Concurrency, and the Gaps in the Docs, a field guide to the parts of modern SwiftUI + concurrency that look clean in isolation but get messy in real apps. The post covers @State + @Observable lifetime bugs, debouncing with async/await, task ownership in views and buttons, closure capture cycles, and why @Observable and actor pull in different architectural directions.
