Email marketer checklist:

✅ Has alt text for all images

I mean, technically… 🙄
An image from an email marketing campaign with a popover showing the alt text, which says "ENTER TEXT THAT WILL BE READ ALOUD FOR ANYONE USING A SCREEN READER IF HARD OF SIGHT"

Today in deciphering reminders dictated to Siri.

I'm *completely* stumped, which means whatever I had to do is not getting done. 😬 What's extra weird is the capitalisation of "Ocean" 🤔

… and you try and tell me Claude isn't as good as a "real developer" when it also completely skips over Swift 6 concurrency warnings, just like real developers do 😂
⏺ Perfect! The build succeeded! There are only some warnings about Swift 6 language mode, but the app compiles successfully. Now let's run the tests:

As soon as they announced Dia this was inevitable, but it still sucks. Arc was the only browser that has ever taken me away from Safari and it's been my browser for more than 2 years. The tabs, ⌘+T UI, GitHub PR integration are great and I'll miss it. browsercompany.substack.com/p/letter-to-...

Six votes 😭 (and yes, this is my constituency)
Line chart showing vote share change between 2024 and 2025 in the Runcorn and Helsby byelection, focusing on Labour and Reform parties. Labour’s red line drops from 52.90% in 2024 to 38.70% in 2025. Reform’s light blue line rises sharply from 18.10% to 38.72%, narrowly overtaking Labour by 0.02%.

Is there a less useful type of alert than these?

If time < 30 mins of it stopping, don’t tell me 😂

Do I know anyone who works with Swift at @nytimes.com? Especially someone who works with the GitHub org `nytimes`. I'm having an issue adding one of your packages to Swift Package Index. Could you drop me an email at [email protected] and I'll send details.

I've been struggling with disk space on my MacBook Pro for a couple of years now. I keep offloading things to external storage, but what I really want is to buy a new Mac. I'd love a Mac Studio, but there's no way I'm buying an M2. Come on Apple, update it!
