Nick Lockwood @nicklockwood.com · 21/08/2026"AI makes people lose their critical thinking skills" This is 100% true.

Nick Lockwood @nicklockwood.com · 26/01/2025I've been writing code in Swift daily for 10 years and I still keep finding out that my mental model of how basic things work is completely wrong. Take this example - I would have sworn that Swift would find and call the outer, Int-returning version of foo() here - but nope! 120
