Looking Back on June 2018

This article was translated from Japanese by Claude Code.

2018 is now about 54% over…━━━━━━(´Д`|||)━━━━━━!!!! ※As of July 11 (Wednesday)

Let me reflect on June.

What I Did in June
#

Participated in Kyash Meetup #1 iOS & Android
#

I was able to hear LT presentations about app development practices, iOS and Android app architecture, and the workflow used for feature implementation. I thought “frequent seat changes,” “doing KPT retrospectives on KPT results” were great ideas that I personally want to adopt at my company too. Not only could I listen to the LTs, but I also got to ask Kyash team members lots of questions during the networking event, which was fun and helped me learn more about them.

I got a real card! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

Presented about Bitrise at Potatotips
#

I originally was using Circle CI 2.0, but I presented about migrating to Bitrise, adopting Fastlane, and the automation we achieved.

As @OperandoOS pointed out, we probably could have solved it by paying more and setting the resource_class, but the migration was pretty much a spur-of-the-moment decision. There’s apparently a case where another company shortened their CI time by 10 minutes using Circle CI’s parallel task execution, so I’ll continue to check what CI tool works best.

The main content of the presentation was:

  • How we solved the issue of not being able to detect git tag pushes

  • How to use the bitrise file-downloader feature

  • Sample of custom Fastlane actions we created

I really want to do more things and am already working on them.

Here are the materials:

Participated in Shibuya.apk
#

Overall, Google’s Araki’s presentation was interesting. It was about how they create backport APIs.

Other
#

At the company, we’re:

  • Trying pair programming

  • Trying mob programming

We’re still exploring how to systematize this well, but it seems like doing it before thinking about it might be the better approach.

Also, I’m creating a module that only contains image and other resource files, and gradually working toward modularization. I’ll continue to steadily work on this.

That’s all. Thanks for June!
