If you enjoy people telling you what you just said but with different words, then you’ll really enjoy social media.

Who also had Codex slop together a proof of concept that validates the idea and deploy it over wifi so he didn’t have to leave his cozy bed? This guy who’s soon gonna regret last night.

Who has two thumbs and hasn’t been able to fall asleep since 4am because his mind was racing all night brainstorming a new app? This very tired guy.

Misspelling unambiguosly to prove a point about ambiguity.

Programming is challenging, programming is fun. Sorry but I was not put on this earth to do Swift Concurrency.

I sure do.

As much as I appreciate places like Bluesky and Mastodon, all public social networks have the same problem — they're town squares, not communities. What people liked about Twitter was finding their community of developers or sports or pop culture or whatever inside of Twitter, while mostly trying to ignore the rest.

People can spend their time wherever they want so I genuinely won't throw shade at Gruber's decision to go back to posting on X. But the idea that X is "friendly and inclusive" is pretty laughable when you consider that since the dawn of Twitter it's been a thunderdome that people call the hellsite.

Calling it Super Intelligence is a good filter for intelligence.

Much of how you feel about the world and how you will live your life comes down to two questions.

1. When you see opportunity, what do you do?
2. When you see sadness, what do you do?

Everything else is just the details in between.

Spooky season #Caturday update.

Where’s the lie?

Really sad that iOS Dev Weekly was once a great newsletter, but it's new owners are happy to publish AI slop and link to AI slop articles. I used to look forward to the newsletter every week, but now the only thing written by humans is the sponsor copy so I finally unsubscribed. 😔

Executions are barbaric and corrosive for the soul, but I feel confident no matter your stance on the death penalty most people that are not too far gone can agree that we simply should not be live-streaming them. https://apnews.com/article/fort-hood-shooter-execution-pentagon-818853afc1be5c70fe41c5b781a8d559

This Tampa Bay Rays team has a real 2015 Royals energy to ‘em. As a Mets fan, that is a real compliment.

More proof that you should never publicly make a prediction.

I’m sorry but this is called reading a book. Or a blog post, the internet is full of amazing content. Or go to an intellectually stimulating event in your area. It’s not that hard, you don’t have to invent a thinking gym.

AI companies went from offering users tokens based on trained models, then they moved to a bajillion inference tokens, and now they’re giving them full-on virtual machines. The amount of value you get for a $20 subscription is growing crazier by the day.

The bar for what users with accessibility needs accept is pretty low. She listed many popular indie apps that she described as barely usable. One of these apps has won multiple Apple Design Awards. As an industry, we still have a lot of work to do.

Incredibly grateful that a blind user found Plinky and took the time to hop on a user research call to see if I could help fix her issues. She said “Plinky is far and away the best bookmarking app for users like me”, and the proceeded to walk me through screens that still have room for improvement.
