I'm surprised so many iOS content creators are still active on X (formerly Twitter (formerly Twttr)). I learned this lesson before and I am learning it again: Just because you belong to a community does not mean everyone in that community shares your values.

The timing of this is interesting but makes sense considering Apple was close to acquiring Halide and then one of the cofounders left for Apple earlier this year.

UIKit now has native support for Swift Observation, automatically tracking reads of @Observable properties in update methods, making it easier to share data between UIKit and integrated SwiftUI components: nilcoalescing.com/blog/Automat... #iOSDev

The imposter syndrome has been intensifying since rejoining my original team at work. It’s not just one thing but several small things that compound to make me feel like I don’t know what I’m doing.

Low power mode on an iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 26 is embarrassingly hitchy. I’ve found most everything else with iOS 26 is fine, but I’ve stopped using low power mode because of how unpleasant the experience is.

I kinda like that ChatGPT simplified the model picker. I could never remember which model was best suited for the task I was giving it. So now, supposedly, it should route the request to the most appropriate model without me having to think about it. This is how a consumer product should work.

Haven’t seen a single Star War so forgive me if this is obvious, but is there an in-universe explanation for why Andor is just one letter off from Endor?

I first saw Napoleon Dynamite at the second-run, dollar theater. The scene where Napoleon is eating tater tots out of his cargo shorts elicited a theater-wide, audible “what the f***?!” from someone sitting two rows in front of me.

Be skeptical of claims like “AI will replace X in Y years” when the author has a major stake in AI succeeding.

I’ve been using Codex with one of my side projects and while it’s amazing how it can go off to implement changes, I find very little joy in the process. I enjoy reasoning and writing code. This is instead describing the end state and reviewing code. Is this closer to how senior devs work?

i missed that at the end of the Bills-Rams game last night we had a legitimate fair catch free kick situation, as the Rams punted as time expired while up by two points. The Bills made no attempt to catch the punt, which landed at the one-yard line and thus would not have been practical, but still!
