  "textContent": "There's been a lot of drama among the iOS community these days relating to a\nvariety of topics. From\nhow Xcode can't handle my scale,\nto\nObjective-C needing a replacement,\nto usage of Cocoapods.Almost every tweet, every blog post, every Quora answer I would read really only\nshowed me one thing: the entitlement that many of these opinions carried, as if\ntheir opinion was not just an opinion, but rather fact.Everyone is entitled to their opinion, sure. But to bash others for their\nopinion is just wrong.<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This type of blatant disrespect /against others/ literally keeps me up at night: <a href=\"http://t.co/S6deW2xlZP\">http://t.co/S6deW2xlZP</a></p>&mdash; @alloy@mastodon.social (@alloy) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/alloy/status/433989599107751936?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 13, 2014</a></blockquote>The way I've noticed a lot of iOS dev's acting lately has been a lot like an old\nman telling everyone to get off his lawn. Different things work for different\npeople. There's no need to force your own opinions upon others. Listen to others\nand accept what they have to say. Form your own opinion based on it. But stop\nwith the petty subtweets, stop with the bashing of the work of others, stop with\nthe outcry of how shitty our tools are.If you don't like something, don't use it. Simple as that. Facebook doesn't like\nXcode, so they don't use it.\nJeff Lamarche doesn't like CocoaPods,\nso he doesn't use it. Ash Furrow doesn't like the current state of Objective-C,\n...so I guess he's stuck with it (I kid, there's alternatives out there that\nhe's trying like Eero,\nRubyMotion, Xamarin\netc., too). My point is, everyone is different.<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Throwing some positivism into the twitter-sphere. I liked <a href=\"https://twitter.com/CocoaPods?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CocoaPods</a> a lot, but it didn’t do what I wanted. So I fixed it &amp; helped. OSS wins</p>&mdash; @orta@webtoo.ls --leave-this-site (@orta) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/orta/status/433723905082392576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 12, 2014</a></blockquote>I've been watching a lot of the Olympics this week and an entertaining bit for\nme has been Johnny Weir.\nJohnny Weir's outfits\neveryday have been off the wall, flamboyant and attention-grabbing. Watching him\nas he attempts to make a statement in Russia, voicing his opinion, his beliefs,\nin a way that doesn't harm others, has been awesome to follow.We could take a note from Johnny Weir, and voice our opinions in a way that\ndoesn't attack others. Start making cool things with the tools you like. Start\nmaking cool tools that help others make cool things in the way that you work.\nSpeak with your apps and code instead of 140 characters.",
