@iOhYesPodcast Loved the dive into BDD and the UICV tricks last episode. I'm determined to see @jazzychad embrace testing sooner or later :D

The Discussion

Time Estimation and Deadlines for development projects/tasks

What are your techniques? Are they effective/accurate?
Estimating with a team vs. by yourself
If you’re doing UI work (w/ or w/o a designer) vs. non-UI work
How often do you reassess your estimation?
When do you admit that your estimation is wrong or you won’t make your deadline?
How to prioritize tasks when a deadline is looming and not everything will get done?

SimPholders 2.0

A rewrite of simpholders in Swift.  A tool for viewing your iOS Simulator folders, the apps installed and what was recently run.  Great tool now that Simulators are unreadable GUIDs.

NSHipster (Nate Cook) - JavaScriptCore
A deep dive into using JSContext and related classes to evaluate JavaScript on iOS. Among the many use cases for JavaScriptCore is game scripting (although LUA is perhaps a more popular solution), which may come in handy for a future episode of iOhYes.
