Had no idea about that status inquiry flow! Thanks for that. Crazy thing: I initiated the status inquiry, went for the "phone call" option instead of going over email, and *while I was on hold for apple support* my app was approved. Coincidence? Definitely not

One of my apps has been *in review* for over a week. Not just submitted for review or waiting for review, but actually in review for 8 days. What's the move here? Cancel and resubmit? Wait it out? Worried I got lost in the App Store sauce

Was recently convinced to switch from Raycast to Alfred, but Alfred was missing a key part of my Raycast setup — so I wrote my first Alfred Workflow! If you're an Alfred + Ghostty user, you might find this helpful (download it from the 'Releases' page):

WWDC keynote thoughts: Loved: - Improving (undoing) a lot of the bizarre Liquid Glass choices - The focus on performance & stability - Core AI and Foundation Models Framework improvements Liked: - A competent Siri - The Safari tab upgrades Meh: - The Siri chat demo - Most of the AI demos

Check out the PR here: github.com/swift-cloud/... Pretty straightforward one: Statically linked Swift binaries bloat from debug symbols (metadata the debugger uses to map addresses to function names, line numbers, etc) Strip those symbols out on build and you get a 66% size reduction!

A reduction in size like this means: - Faster deployments - Faster cold starts - Deploy sizes stay under the Lambda zip size limit - No Docker required Just pass `.stripSymbols` into the function's `buildOptions` param and you're good to go!

I've been using Swift Cloud to write & deploy @swift.org on AWS for over a year. Love the project, but the compiled binaries for Lambda were large Finally contributed back this weekend: got zip size down from ~75MB to ~25MB A 66%+ reduction! Check it out: github.com/swift-cloud/...

I've been doing a *lot* of AI-assisted coding lately, but this weekend I explicitly went all manual again just to reset. So refreshing. Worked on YouHQ, built a simple CLI tool in Swift, spent some time on my zsh config, etc. Feels good

🚨 New app alert! YouHQ: Your life, organized. Where's all my money? What paint color did I use? When's my next oil change? I've kept this stuff in a messy Apple Note for years. So I built a native app to organize it. The beta is live on TestFlight. Drop me a line for access! 👇 www.youhq.app

Lol, perhaps. We’ll see! If everyone can build though, something will have to differentiate the winners from the losers. What do you think that will be? Pricing of course as always, but quality probably matters even more than it does today as a differentiator

Ryan Token @ryantoken.com · 26/02/2026

^ that’s my optimistic take, at least

Ryan Token @ryantoken.com · 26/02/2026

AI on its own produces average results. If everyone relies on AI to build, there’ll be a whole lot of average products out there The winners will be the best products, & software engineers are uniquely positioned to get the best out of AI Software engineers with great product sense will win IMO
