Remember when people thought that everyone would be able to build apps because SwiftUI was so simple?

One awesome thing about LLMs is reviving abandoned hobby projects stuck at 40-60% due to the "this part is boring" wall. I still love "artisanally" coding the parts I want to learn and/or challenge myself with, but LLMs handle the boring boilerplate now :)
Updated for 2026
Just finished this game everyone keeps talking about. Good stuff.
Your comic reader should be as gorgeous as the stories inside it.

I wanted to downgrade my 2020 Intel MacBook to Sequoia. I tried DFU, but it doesn’t work because DFU is only for AS. I tried a USB installer, but that didn’t work either because the T2 chip firmware can’t be rolled back. I asked Claude what I can do about it, this was the answer.
I really love the iPad, but it's a really tough sell now that the MacBook Neo is a thing
Tahoe is a bad choice for Apple’s send-off to Intel Macs. I have a 2020 MacBook Pro, which, sure, isn’t a workstation by any means, but it ran very smoothly, even for some light Xcode use. Now it’s barely usable, opening Finder is enough to bring the machine to a crawl
Using the iPad as a dedicated Ghostty screen is my new favorite thing
I just realized that I've been working with Xcode for 18 years, and now I'm depressed. 2026 - 2008 cannot be 18 years. MAKE IT STAAAPH!
Got feedback on my app → shipped the change → user left a kind Reddit review.
Simple moment, but it means a lot. This is the part of building I don’t take for granted ❤️

MTLCompilerService goes wild in Tahoe, consistently using over 90% of my Intel MacBook's CPU. It's a nice tradeoff: my system is completely unusable, but at least the windows look shiny and transparent
Apparently, Dead Space knew something was going to happen back then.
I can't imagine how many meetings must have taken place at Apple to decide that the settings for iPhone Mirroring should be on DESKTOP & DOCK
They couldn’t make it clearer that they want us to prepare for a foldable phone, well, besides of saying: "We’re releasing a foldable iPhone"
Okay, this is genuinely amazing. I tested it, and it does work on Apple Silicon =D
I had a boss who used to tell me, "Most tech is built with spit and duct tape." I think we need to update that to, "Most tech is built with spit, `sed`, and duct tape" .
