Swift is the Goldilocks of programming languages.. I won’t be taking questions at this time.
I’m shipping a new app today.

I just archived and pushed to App Store Connect manually using Xcode. AMA
It's been a while since I setup Fastlane.. is that still state of the art for building and deploying locally?
Xcode Cloud is such a garbage product

Is anyone even interested in a native iOS Bluesky app or is the first party app good enough? I’d say my app is 80% complete. I need to know there is a strong desire before putting in the effort for the last 20% (which is way less fun then the first 80)

Current status: letting Claude agent go to town on a code base in Xcode 26.3. Let’s see how it goes.

Day 1 vibe coding an app: Holy crap - I'll be shipping this by the end of the week.
Day 2 vibe coding an app: Hmm.. this might take longer than I thought.
Day 3 vibe coding an app: **Moved on to a new app idea**

All the fighting between OpenCode and Claude / Anthropic really just makes me upset that so many CLI terminal apps are developed with JavaScript 😂 😢

I’ve done a lot of vibe coding over the past 3 months. I think a lot of the code will stick around (although with tech debt I’ll need to clean). It accelerated a few projects I’ve been hacking on but it took all the joy out of coding.

If I was building an embedded systems flight controller for a drone, why would I not want to use Swift?
Most open source stuff is C/C++ or Rust. But if I’m building everything myself, what are the disadvantages?

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

When Threads first launched I thought the iOS app had the best UI/UX out of all the Twitter like apps and now it is the worst. Meta really makes the worst apps.
The iOS app is a git fork of the Instagram codebase.

I got an email after hours for a PR review request.
I tried to open the PR in the GitHub iOS app to review.
I can't see it because it is using a different GitHub account so I give up. LOL - great process contract gig

A new contract gig just asked me to create a new GitHub account instead of just using my personal account. Explain to me like I'm 5 why that isn't the stupidest request ever.

You are building an iOS app.
Your minimum build target is iOS 26.2.
You are starting today.
Why do you choose to use UIKit over SwiftUI?

Not everything needs an app and just because there is an app doesn’t mean you have to use it. This is an excellent review by @gruber.foo

If you have an expert web dev build a react site, Claude is really good at turning that code into a decent @expo.dev (React Native) app.
