I recently had the opportunity to review CFPs for an upcoming conference. After going through hundred of proposals, I noticed a couple of things that set the good ones apart.

Stargate is being rebooted! 🤩
I'm excited to see what will come of it, but worried they will just ruin it.
The beauty of the original Stargate are the actors and the focus on the story, not so much about the visuals.

One thing that annoys me the most is Apple reverting my settings every time I update to a new version of OS or Xcode or any of their software. Every. Single. Time.
Why is it so hard to persist user settings?

TIL the @.Observable macro doesn't trigger updates for equatable properties starting with iOS 26. But for prior releases, we have to manually check equality for the object properties to improve our app performances.
Thank you for the tip Steven!

TIL Xcode 26 has a View Debugging tool to show when a View is rendered called “Flash Updated Regions”.
This seems very powerful and useful, I’ll make sure to débug my apps with that turned on.

Netflix is absolutely unusable at this point. Movies and shows are hard to find. Categories make no sense and I really don't understand why I can't just filter by type, like fiction, instead of scrolling through endless curated collections of "Boredom Busters". What?!

I am really annoyed with the new OS26 on all devices. Apart from wonky animations that are getting in the way and unnecessarily large buttons covering screen real estate, everything takes extra taps to open and it's not user friendly. That's my biggest issue.
