One day you’ll open an app you use once a week and get a prompt to do the most incomprehensible thing ever.

A prompt in Discord with two buttons:
- Start Earning Orbs
- Maybe Later

To this day, no code editor has come close to looking as good as Espresso did.

Two Espresso windows on Mac OS X. One showing some sample HTML and the other showing CSS. Both use a light mode theme.

My take is: - The experience is very additive and builds upon existing Blade knowledge. No penalty when not using it - The performance increases from Blaze should be part of core - It fits the "batteries included" mantra of Laravel where everything you need is ready - The man himself agrees!

“IMO Livewire takes Blade to the next level. It's basically what Blade should be by default. 🔥”

A Siri prompt where I asked “what is today’s month?”

Siri says: “Do you want me to use ChatGPT to answer that?”

Then offers a button to confirm or to search the web.

We're in the "full self-driving cars is only X away!" phase of AI

An email summary from Apple Intelligence that errantly says a product costing $2499 has shipped.

The actual email where the price is $24.99 but the "99" is in a superscript presentation. It's clear to someone looking at this it's $24.99 but the AI summary thinks it is $2499.

Is there any shot Apple Intelligence will be used to make macOS spell check not be completely and utterly useless?

The word "accommodate" misspelled by missing the second "m".

The macOS contextual menu not offering "accommodate" as a spelling correction.

Does anyone else get the X app when searching “memes” using Spotlight on iOS? I did not expect this to come up, but I wouldn’t put it past them.

The keyword “memes” in iOS Spotlight displaying a “Memes” folder and the X app.

Some of Apple’s branding is *out there*.

Sure, Mastodon might have a more interesting tech angle, but it's hard to not see Bluesky as the winning "Twitter replacement" at the moment. Why? Because most people just "wanna be where the people are".

Wow, OKLCH gradient interpolation is *so* much nicer and more vivid than previous color models. This is the same gradient in @tailwindcss.com v3 (top) vs v4 (bottom).

Two vertically stacked bars that are approximately 100px tall and 1000px wide. Both bars transition from orange to blue. The first bar becomes a very muted, muddy purple while the bottom bar maintains a high amount of vividness and is a bright pink in the middle.
