![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) I particularly liked her funny songs 
Not sure if you listen to BBC Radio4, however there was a good episode of More or less[^] recently where they went over the statistics of recent celebrity deaths.
The conclusion was that it did appear that there were more celebrity deaths reported so far this year than there have been in the past(for a similar period of time).
It's one of those radio shows that occasionally has a few gems in it and I wished I listened to it more regularly.

So sad, didn't even know she was ill. She was a talented straight actress as well as being a great comedienne.

Bloody shame - she was a very clever comedian and damn good actress.

Even if she's not buried in a flameproof nightie, that's how I'll think of it.

Lately in the world of Swift, I have been using several open source UI libraries to help me achieve nice effects like:
I feel however that I should be able to do this myself. I've only been messing with Swift for a few months, and I have the language and that basics of iOS development down, but I can't help like feeling a poor developer because of this. Should I stop using libraries like this and do it myself? What do y'all think.

It's based on what you are doing at work And how much time you got. If you are a dedicated UI developer, go for it. If not, think twice.
Many of the well built open source libraries are quite usable, you should go for it mainly because it's been used by thousands of people and well tested. The same thing, Unless it's a simple component, we'll end up taking so many hours, sometimes weeks for developing it, based on the complexity. Only to find a bunch of bugs at work at the end. Such a waste of time, I have done these type of things for Network components wasting time. See these libs are well documented and being used by so many, then should simply use it and make use of the time for learning better things that helps your project/product move faster. IMO

User requirement of course. They always request the most useless features, and they don't know what they want until they see what they get...

I think you have done the right thing - a lot of the time it's the case of not knowing if a control exists for what I want so I will write one myself.
So count it as finding a treasure when there is a control that will do exactly what you need.

No. Others have done the work for you, for free. How amazing is that!

Graphics is something completely else, to me barely related to programming (well, the kind of programming I do)!
If you're specialized in creating awesome graphics, yes, you should be ashamed.
If you're specialized in creating applications that actually do something, but that also need a little graphical touch to make it appealing to customers then no, let the people that specialize in graphics solve the graphics
