Listen to Podcast 106: Shipping | iDeveloper.
A few notes:
- RemObjects C# on iOS is based on LLVM, so I assume the other platforms use that too.
- Both guys are really busy shipping stuff, and it is hard.

Yet another example of somehow who got bitten hard by using the with statement (I decided to give with its own category on my blog).
This time it got shared by Paul Foster on G+ and comes down to this:
Even in unsuspiciously looking code, the wit statement can bite you, especially if you need to do refactoring and (because of that) introduce two names in the same scope.
Or in Paul‘s words:
Whilst upgrading the code to remove the Containers unit (its not supported on NextGen platforms, so I have to make things work with Generics.Collections instead, (bye bye D7 support for this code) and refactor a couple stupidities in my original design (they always creep in, don’t they) I ended up with two class members of the same name. The with block then looked OK but I was in fact not access the member I thought I was.

I sense a lot of procrastination coming up, as the BBC just released this:
BBC Radio 4 Extra – The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Game – 30th Anniversary Edition.
The text part is still the same as the original InfoCom game from 30 years ago. This is the 2nd BBC remake of THHGTTG game. Unlike the 20th anniversary edition that had pictures that seemed random, the 30th anniversary edition now has pictures that make sense for your context.
One of the reasons I like the game so much is that it stays close to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Radio Series and Book.
