Claude can then go consult these docs as I work, rather than only having these docs constrained to the IDE chat in Xcode. Pretty handy!

I added this lil alias to my dotfiles last week, paired with a one-liner in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md about consulting the `AdditionalDocumentation` directory:

`alias xcclaude='claude --add-dir "$(xcode-select -p)/../PlugIns/IDEIntelligenceChat.framework/Versions/A/Resources/AdditionalDocumentation"'`

We are in the “FO” stage of this week’s FAFO cycle

Claude Code's terminal UX is impressively tidy. The little animations are so delightful, and thought process is easy to comprehend. The `/`, `#`, and `>` prefixes are natural, with the lil descriptions below making them stick in your brain too. What a delight!

Generating _and_ consuming. No way she's gonna read all these, probably just gonna slap 'em all into ChatGPT and call it "leadership"

I'm ready for another dscacheutil to mDNSResolver rewrite these days too.

I've been needing to run `sudo killall bluetoothd` once a week since upgrading to Tahoe to fix the stuttering in my AirPods and my mouse movements. 🫠

Since June, I've filed 6 FBs/Radars on Liquid Glass bugs and quirks and zero of them have gotten responses... 🫠

Hoping to see iOS 26.1 and beyond address these, but none of them have been fixed in the first two betas yet

Even custom navbar/toolbar buttons and their transitions are so fun too, like this one for our History filter toolbar item.

Particle's Liquid Glass update is now out! I had a lot of fun adapting what's already a beautiful app to Apple's new design. So many of our components were natural fits for glass containers, like adopting `tabViewBottomAccessory` for our podcast playback

I was today years old when I found out that Jack Antonoff produced GNX.

So many people talking trash about how it doesn’t have the specs, but it’s just enough phone for me! Love mine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'll take "Radar's that fit in a Bluesky post" for 100, Alex:

```
struct WTF: View {
var body: some View {
TabView { Tab { Text("First") } }
.tabViewBottomAccessory {
Button("Press me") { print("pressed") }
.buttonStyle(.glassProminent)
}
}
}
```

TIL a button in a `tabViewBottomAccessory` with a `buttonStyle` applied to it will cause AttributeGraph to cycle, so an `onTapGesture` it is!

I might get the iPhone Air? The upgrade from the 16 Pro to the 17 Pro seems so incremental, so maybe I try out a year of New Phone™ to see how it is.

I think the funniest thing that best describes the iPhone 17 Pro is that Apple doesn't even let you compare it against the iPhone 16 Pro. It... would not look that impressive.

hey! the season is back tomorrow, and so do I. this year, as promised, the "mirror" is being dropped from "mirror bot" in an attempt to make it completely independent of twitter. the idea is to have fewer bugs and, specially, fewer delays with the results

Happy week 1 to all those who celebrate 🏈
