With all of these models getting cheaper, that means less data centers, right?

The check engine light is on again, and you can't tell if it's the same code as before. So you pay for a second diagnostic, on the shop's word instead of your own. Write the code and the fix down once, and you already know. apps.apple.com/us/app/auto... #AutoCare

I'm having trouble exhausting my Claude usage this week now that Opus 5.5 cost less, and with Claude's higher five-hour usage limits. Writing mostly Swift these days. #Claude #Opus #Swift #SwiftUI www.anthropic.com/claude-opus-...

Stop writing "You are an expert marketer/coder/lawyer" in your AI prompts. For the latest 2026 models (GPT-6, Claude 5.5), persona prompting is dead • It wastes token context • It limits cross-domain capabilities • It can actually increase hallucinations #AI #PromptEngineering

You can now add an auto, log a service, check recalls, decode a VIN, or ask what is due without opening the app. Siri, Spotlight, and Shortcuts all work with it. 1.6.0 is live, one build across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. apps.apple.com/us/app/auto... #IndieDev #AutoCare

After waiting seven days, I usually submit an expedite request. I state that since our app has been in the store for over four years, it shouldn’t take so long to get an update approved. It then takes about 24 hours to get the approval.

That’s good that you are not seeing these long wait times. It is not uncommon for us to wait seven or eight days.😬

We just released an app update on Android yesterday and it took 8 days to get approved by the Play Store. 8 days seems to be the average now. The Play Store has deteriorated so much in the last year. Sad. #Android #PlayStore #Flutter

Recall notices go to the registered owner of record. If you bought your car used, that's the previous owner, not you, so an open defect can sit for years. Stop waiting on a letter that isn't coming and look up the VIN yourself. apps.apple.com/us/app/auto-... #AutoCare

I love it when Claude Opus 4.8 (high) says: "I overstated it. Here's the honest breakdown." The word honest should never be used because it implies that all other times you told lies. #Claude #Honest

I used GPT-5.4 to verify a change made by Gemini 3.1 Pro, and it found an issue that Gemini later acknowledged: "You correctly pointed out that passing an AutoEvent (an NSManagedObject) into an async Task while synchronously deleting it from Core Data creates a race condition." #Swift #IndieDev

It has become almost impossible to release an app on the Play Store these days as approval times have sky rocketed to 8-10 days. This horrible developer experience is becoming the norm for Android. Are teams planning to stop supporting Android apps as I am? #Android #PlayStore #Flutter

That would’ve been very helpful years ago. I used to score baseball games with my iPhone and it used to overheat in the sun during the summer. That umbrella could’ve reduced the heat on the phone.

I like using Google’s Antigravity, but it doesn’t seem to move forward as fast as some of the other tools and it doesn’t seem to keep up with the latest models. Hopefully it will catch up or I will be forced to use Claude Code.

I’ve spent the last few months rebuilding my app from the ground up, applying everything I’ve learned since 2020. It’s now fully native in SwiftUI. If you’re an organized car owner, I’d value your feedback on the new foundation.
