YouTube now shows “Concerts Near Me” and Spotify is pivoting to music videos. What the actual fuck is happening. Software development needs to stop.

I’m seeing 1Password offering to auto-fill logins that are archived and deleted. Anyone else? Is this a new bug? Enshittification continues. 🤡

Absolutely insane email from an App Store user. My guy, you literally clicked a “buy” button with a price in the App Store. I can’t comprehend the chain of events that led to this email.

I continue to be baffled at the comical level of complexity that has manifested in Swift. Did AI design this language? https://www.massicotte.org/step-by-step-designing-protocols/

@mattiem what is the ideal way to do file I/O with NSFileManager and Swift Concurrency? An actor doesn’t seem correct. I’ve seen using withCheckedThrowingContinuation wrapping a DispatchQueue. This seems… good? I’m not sure. How would you approach this? I guess I’m looking for “NSFileManager, but with async/await”

This blog post is a great example of how and why Swift Concurrency is an absolute mess. Nonsensical default behavior. Opaque keywords and modifiers that require too much cognitive load. A special case for *everything*. You couldn’t design a more complicated and confusing system if you tried. https://alejandromp.com/development/blog/a-small-swiftui-warning-and-a-long-journey-to-understand-it

Just imagine how amazing Apple’s hardware announcements this week would have been if they had OSes that worked.

Has anyone used this? Do strict LLM permissions not suffice? Seemed like a nice idea. But it&#39;s just an 8000-line shell script written by some guy. So... 🤔 https://agent-safehouse.dev
