I’m a freelance developer of many talents. My primary expertise is iOS/Cocoa; I am also very well versed in writing server-side applications in Rails, Node and various Python frameworks. I generally like to work with smaller companies where I can contribute to many areas of the software stack. I particularly enjoy solving problems related to optimizing performance and scaling.
This is purely an opinion and totally depends on where your priorities lie. All of these things are true and your overall cost of living will be lower. However you will most likely need a car and your social life won't be as exciting because everything will be happening in the city.
Developer of Euclid here. I made this app over the last couple weeks mostly to scratch my own itch. As a person who develops a lot of UIs this tool is invaluable to me. Whether I'm working on an iOS app in the Simulator or a web app in the browser, being able to call up fullscreen crosshairs with a hotkey is super helpful to make sure everything lines up. This is also sort of an experiment for me as I've never sold anything on the Mac app store. I would love to know what HN thinks of Euclid, any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks for looking!

It seems to be using a private API method of UITextChecker. [checker suggestWordInLanguage:@"en_US"]; to generate each word in the list. Can anyone explain what this method is actually doing? It doesn't take any sort of argument (other than language), does it literally just give you a random english word?
