I found this quote when travelling through some Digital garden and after searching who’s the first one who say it, turns out he’s Greg LeMond, the first American who win Tour de France.

I remember when the first time I try to write an iOS app using Swift

Constructing a simple UITableView would cost me dozens of browser tabs. Sometimes I would forget to conform to the necessary protocol, or maybe I haven’t register the cell.

But after a while and continous practices, I made progress, I get the idea and know most of the process. Yes, sometimes I forget a part or two but the time to do it become shorter.
