I received a text just the other week from ATT letting me know I reached 75% of the 5GB network management threshold, and that I may experience reduced data speeds. Anything I can do about this now?

Why post this when you have no swift content at all. You're just gathering emails.
Unfortunately, many of us iOS developers work for clients. These projects are usually on timelines, and if writing the app entirely in Swift slows us down substantially, we will likely go with Obj-C.
Also, Obj-C isn't likely going anywhere.
I used to be an IT auditor. I worked in public accounting. The CPAs who really crushed it were partners. They usually had been with the firm for 10+ years minimum, and were basically in sales at that point. You have to buy into the company normally when you make partner, and less than 10% of employees ever make partner.
MDs, yes they're high earners, but many go into a ton of debt, and don't start earning a lot till pretty late in their career. Many blow through all their cash too.
Lawyers, yes obviously some make bank. But many make next to nothing. I have tons of friends who are just graduating and can't find work.
As a developer, I can clear 100K a year working remotely in a very affordable state. And I have no debt. That's a pretty good living. On top of that, I love what I do. Note that I don't have kids though.
The only concern I have about software development is that it seems to plateau around 100-150K a year. I guess that makes sense though. You'd have to go into management to make more, and you wouldn't be writing much code, which is what I like to do.
Anyways, I wouldn't call a good developer making a reasonable developer salary lower middle class.
Besides, why the violin? He isn't bemoaning his decision. He seem happy about it. He may be speaking to all the young recent graduates that are gunning for a role like his. I enjoyed the post.
Also, this "leak", how is it different from other leaks in the past? There were leaks all around the iPhone 4. I don't think leaks matter too much to the average consumer. When Apple does a product announcement, I tell my folks about it. 9 times out of 10 they had no idea.
Hiccups happened in Jobs' keynotes all the time. More options isn't a bad thing. The mobile market is maturing. No big deal.
They do go into dire situations that are under reported. Not only that, but there doesn't seem to be much of a bias in said reporting.
But, when it comes to any sort of opinion piece, pop culture, or something of the like, the bias is overwhelming. I remember there was an article about a woman who went to the Bush Library at SMU. It was obnoxious. Terrible writing.
1. Payscale for native development is higher 2. Your product will look infinitely better. It can do more things that Phonegap can't. 3. Supporting future devices using Phonegap will be difficult. Apple TV SDK? What about the watch thing that could also come out? 4. Xcode is great.
Should that not happen, I will assume the firm doesn't care if I move on after 2-3 years for opportunities with better compensation.
It is what it is. I'm married and have financial obligations. That said, who's to say I don't moonlight and make extra cash that way? ;-)
I get that my work after hours is essentially "free" labor. But I wasn't aware that there are actually laws that say salaried employees are entitled to more compensation when working after hours.
