The 'no Xcode needed' part is the real unlock. Xcode has always been the steepest entry tax for Swift. Vibe coding removes the toolchain friction and lets the logic come first. The IDE becomes optional.

I recently released sequins.dev, to have all the Observability signals you expect like logs, metrics, traces, and profiles, but as a macOS app which you can use for local dev. It's also completely free and open source. Give it a try, and let me know if there's any features you want!

The joy of C++ interoperability with Swift.

Xcode local archive panel for the macOS app target “Preflight-macOS-AppStore-Release.” The left shows the app title, the right column lists many builds in chronological order: each line reads “Build Today, [time],” with a yellow warning badge on the latest entry and red hazard icons for all previous builds, indicating failures for a whole day until it succeeds

Every tool I see has to pass a debate before I touch it. Not a quick scan. Agents trained on my roadmap, arguing for and against. I sit in judgment. This is not caution. It is governance.

Hot take: half of LLM use for code editing is safe refactorings that intellij was able to do ages ago, but primarily just in Java, and never quite reached this level in other languages... For better or worse, we now can, but with lots of $$$ burnt each time you do huh

To counter balance my previous agents tweet about source code editing. In having a load of success outsourcing simple tasks and fix up's to agents and aid in research of codebases or problems. Also "try these 20things to reproduce, minimize a reproducer" and stuff like that.

This made me genuinely happy. An AI agent gets dramatically more accurate when you tell it: debate what you're unsure about, and stumbling is ok. We build tech like we raise children. Tech meetings should start talking about love in their stack.

The AI bubble: everyone building "better search" because that's the frame people understand. The actual shift: AI as context engineering—understanding YOUR data, YOUR work, creating value from what you already have. That's not search. That's different.
