Christoph @hermiteer.com · 15hThe whole point is this: you may be talented such that you're down the "experience" path faster than someone else, but practicing and doing the work yields "taste", and taste is how great code, great design, and great products are made. That is the one thing that you will *always* have over agents. 010
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 15hThis slide had specific advice on interacting with agents, getting better results by referencing your prior work (to inform future work), and leveraging multiple models and agents for higher confidence. 110
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 15hAgents may have already evolved past this in the last 4 months, but I discovered that framing problems as structured data is what allowed the agent to effectively iterate and problem solve. 110
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 15hThe video from my talk with @sfswift.bsky.social will be up soon, but I wanted to share and annotate these 3 slides that are key points I learned from working with my agentic team. 210
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 07/10/2026It's been a while since I've done a talk (Adobe Max 2011 anyone?) so I'm grateful for the folks at SLUG x CocoaHeads and Verkada for the chance to share my summer project. It's based on my recent LinkedIn posts so if that sounds interesting I hope to see you there!luma.comAI Agent Teams and macOS Sandboxing — SF Swift × CocoaHeads · LumaPlease join us for this month's session together learning about Swift with talks by local members of the Swift community. We are so excited to see you all… 020
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 16/10/2025Just pushed the first Feature Complete build for a client. A complete rework of UX that adds a first class iPad experience, drops a very bad TCA implementation, maintains interop with an old 3rd party SDK, and resolves hundreds of memory leaks, while mentoring an engineer, all on a 10hr/wk schedule. 010
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 23/07/2025When you get a good multi-modal idea and push it through to the end. Well done ExploringTheSimulation! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUXQ...youtube.comI Gave Every iPhone USB-C.YouTube video by Exploring the Simulation 010
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 06/03/2025Wow your Vision Pro environments are really getting good. Those goats look very realistic! 110
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 28/02/2025RealityKit has LOD for textures, but not geometry. One could do it manually by measuring distance between camera and object, but it could get complicated if the entity is animated or reacting to physics. 120
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 03/02/2025Well said and agree. I turned mine into a performance art piece, with the hopes that it may be useful someday. 010
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 13/01/2025Severely disappointed that Pantera did not actually score the movie. One and a half stars. 020
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 12/01/2025I took a break after an update that nerfed a lot of weapons, but looks like there is some new content so will hop back in. Also, if you like 40K games there’s an FPS called Hired Gun which is enjoyable and on sale! 010
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 07/01/2025Even though it appears you can turn off iOS 18 notification summaries, I’m still not updating. I expect these sorts of half-baked shenanigans from Google and Meta, but am supremely disappointed with Apple on this. 000
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 07/01/2025* squinting look while trying to decide Jerry’s bits are getting better or worse * 020
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 18/12/2024Business cards from my Halloween costume this year. Literally picked them up from a tiny print shop deep inside Chinatown. $34 for a 100. Good deal. Typos intentional. 020
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 12/12/2024Am I not understanding how moderation lists work? If I add an account to one I’ve made, why do I keep seeing posts from the account? Do moderation lists not work on the Discovery feed? 000
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 09/12/2024Nice one! I’ve been following Unity and Unreal engine fire tutorials which use fractal noise too, so will add this to my list. Thanks! 110
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 27/11/2024Ha! I know that street. And yes the first few times were odd, but I hardly think about it now. Sitting in the back seats you get to see the tracking monitor and how the car is visualizing, or rather presenting to you, what it “sees”. 000
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 26/11/2024I was interning at a little company called Itron. My managers let me tag along as they tried to figure out how to use Java for meter UI apps (in conjunction with Itron’s remote utility consumption meters installed on houses). 010
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 26/11/2024Absolutely! Beta 2.2 fixed a bug where pure white flipped to black when a certain spot in a texture was foveated. 010
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 24/10/2024Huh. Guess I should go get some coffee or something. Thanks for letting me know about that extra 30 minutes tho. 000
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 21/10/2024The saxophone is the pinnacle of human musical instrument invention that can only be improved upon by taking to down to the nearest lake and throwing it in. 010
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 16/10/2024This was common among club DJs in the mid 00s (before USB sticks took over). You’d burn your set (or sets or playlists or folders) to CD then jam into the CDJs at the club. To note: low bit rate or VBR tracks sound terrible on huge club sound systems, so I only burned AIFF tracks. 010

Christoph @hermiteer.com · 26/09/2024OpenAI is in my neighborhood. Yesterday small groups of engineers were walking around. A local bar was closed for a private event company meeting. Walking past I heard “I’ve worked at lots of companies that were running out of money”. Not proof but I know the “my company is fucked” walkabout. 080
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 21/07/2024Clicked into this thread specifically to see who would post this picture. 000
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 12/06/2024Currently at the One More Thing conference near WWDC. Very nice group of folks, good content, good conversations. Hope it happens again next year! omt-conf.com 000
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 13/04/2024Ah yes you’re correct. The actual build must happen on a remote Mac somewhere. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cr... 000
Christoph @hermiteer.com · 12/04/2024I wouldn’t think so because you can build iOS apps with Visual Studio. 100
