2/3 I'd been playing with jj (Jujutsu) as a git replacement anyway — not to flee GitHub, just because it's better. The data grab made the decision easy. All my code now lives on a European Hetzner server. Fast. Boring. Mine.

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.

Very dangerous putting a wrapper around another concept that does the same thing with async streams. But if it helps you. I was long convex I’d it would too but after Rxswift and its variants bit me way to many times it is just not worth it. It simply does not scale.

Sorry managed to scramble my replies wit for SwiftUI you can use this. ViewModifier or dynamicProperty Gotcha: SwiftUI only resolves it when stored directly on a View. Nested or dynamically created → silently nil. so most cases, I preferred the ViewModifier approach

Stijn Willems @stijn.antping.ai · 17/03/2026

Yes defiantly especially as SwiftUI is ‘t a is you avoid mvvwm and use environment as suggested you do not need all of that with similar or more build in composability

For dynamicproprerty to work it needs to be initialises in the view hierachy. Unfortunately that also excludes init. Only properties work.

Yes, used it. Hidden singleton under the hood — the "container" is global state with a nice API on top.

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

The pattern is the same across everything we build. A tool that “seems good” is an intent claim. A tool that survived debate and proved itself against the roadmap is a structural claim. AI suggests. You decide. Then you hold the line.

Next milestone: ditch GitHub entirely. It doesn’t work with 100 PRs a day. Agent swarms expose every bottleneck built for human pace. GitHub is human pace.

Last incorporation after days of debate: abandon git + Graphite for jujutsu. Paid off. Without the gate I would have drifted to Radical — looked good, but didn’t hold me to the roadmap. The debate surfaces that. My impulses don’t.

Stijn Willems @stijn.antping.ai · 17/03/2026

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.

Juniors used to learn that by being wrong in front of a senior who caught it. Now the agent is wrong and nobody catches it. The senior is gone. And the junior was never hired.

The METR study (2025) found experienced developers using AI got 19% slower while believing they were 20% faster. That gap only closes with years of knowing what actually matters — the VAT rounding case that looks like an edge case but breaks everything.

Not sure that covers my use cases nor experience at all. It is rather the opposite. Before we hired very expensive juniors. Had the most fun with late night pizza and got the satisfaction of seeing them grow. Now a team of agents debate. Do the same think in hours versus months. I have a lot of fun

Also totally agree on Xcode needing Linux as a run target — would be a game changer for server-side Swift workflows.

Note you need the swift.org open source toolchain — the Xcode one won't work. Once the Static Linux SDK is installed, you get fully statically linked ELF binaries with zero external dependencies, not even libc. Runs on any distro.

To me it looked like that the github thing was prompt injection in the title but I may have mis understood. @robbinsa.me so why the lol?

000

Stijn Willems @stijn.antping.ai · 06/03/2026

So this validation on input can eliminate a rough agent from prompt injection as agents by nature need brought operation rights to be able to do there job you better know the instructions you give it are yours.

Stijn Willems @stijn.antping.ai · 06/03/2026

Its a mercel like tree that creates on every bit change a new hash of the tree of files in a folder. Hence giving you an ultra fast hash to verify input data into an agent you trust.

Stijn Willems @stijn.antping.ai · 06/03/2026

@robbinsa.me care to explain what you think it is then. In Mac OS tahoe this system is used to load criptex parts of the os for ai containing the local models. This is to prevent those models from being altered to protect against prompt injection.
