Not Goodbye, just a Change of Scenery! by

It’s been such a pleasure working with you in the Rocket!

Your contributions and teamwork have really made a difference, and we’re definitely going to miss having you around in our day-to-day "Rocket life."

That said, I’m so happy we’ll still be working together, and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.

Wishing you all the best as you start this exciting new chapter!

git commit -m "Goodbye, Paul 😢"

Hey Paul,

The time has come – you’re leaving the project, and we’re left behind with a thousand open tickets and magically working Keycloak in iOS. Your commits were clean, your code sometimes mysterious (just like you), but in the end, it mostly worked.

Who’s going to ignore bugs as confidently as you did? Who’ll “just fix something quickly” and accidentally work on the same tasks for months?

We wish you nothing but smooth builds, zero merge conflicts, and crash-free launches on your next adventure. May your optionals always be safely unwrapped and your dispatch queues forever balanced.

Stay as cool as your custom dark Xcode theme, and remember:

while !success { tryAgain() }

Take care, you UIKit whisperer, SwiftUI sorcerer, and CoreData conjurer. Don’t be a stranger – or at least send a PR from time to time!

Cheers,

Kev (and ChatGPT)

Take your Rocket and bring it to the other team to explore the sky with them too

Thank you for all your time and awesome ideas you shared with us. For me you where the first iOS developer who admit the benefits of IntelliJ. I wish that your dream, of a better XCode IDE, is coming true soon. You are a great and open minded guy who was not afraid at all to dirty his hands on login and authentication topics. You jumped into the puddle of mudd with a big smile and this makes you so great. Please keep this awesome attitude.

It's been a pleasure working with you. Never scared of responsibility, feel no pressure with the expertise to deep dive and deliver on any complicated topic. Good luck on the new challenges and hopefully you're too good for them and have to come back to us :D

I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for everything you’ve brought to the team. Your calm presence, technical expertise, and collaborative spirit have made a real impact, and it’s been such a pleasure working with you.

Even though it's sad to see you leave our team, I’m genuinely happy you’re staying close and continuing to be part of the project. Team Nova is lucky to have you and I’m sure you’ll do great things there too.

Also, I have to say... you timed your move perfectly somehow managing to dodge all the new topics and chaos we've been diving into these weeks. That’s some next-level foresight :D

Wishing you all the best in the new team, and don’t be a stranger! Looking forward to still crossing paths in the project.

All the best,
Sevan

Hey Paul,

I really enjoyed working with you in team Rocket and I am looking forward to see your work in Nova. I am pretty sure you will do it like you did in Rocket which is perfect.

You are always funny, always happy and always someone we can count on. Also I like a lot that you are always calm no matter how chaotic everything is :-D
