Today I shipped one of the most challenging features I've ever worked on: a frame based play designer with an inline timeline scrubber.

My first, true "AI is changing my own personal life, work, etc" post. In short, I think it's a fantastic time to build stuff:

Thoughts on Xcode's 26.3's agentic coding:
- How to get skills working
- Use Xcode's MCP with other tools
- Impressions

Went on a little side quest with Scores for NCAA.

My first adventures in watchOS development. Different animal, for sure.

@mattiem It's hard to say, what made me think of it originally was when I was chatting with my professor from college. I asked her what it was like trying to teach the next wave of programmers. She said it's been extremely difficult because they all just want to use AI to do homework, etc, for them. So, if the models don't keep improving, we could look at a whole generation of software developers who don't really understand code as well as we do. Interesting times!

@rooster Supabase! Enjoying it so far. New to Postgres but getting it figured out I think
🚨 Testers wanted 🚨
I have a huge update to Elite Hoops coming up. It adds user accounts, user sign up, and syncing data. Tons under the hood.
I'd love a hand testing the sign in/up flow:

A feature I came up with is this concept of "Smart Badges". Here, there are two primary actions:
A pass from the 1 to a 3, and a shot.
Coaches typically will add notes to plays saying "1 passes to 3, 3 shoots" - so this kind of automates it.

@finnvoorhees Ah thats awesome! I really need to "modernize" it for this new world we are in, doing something like what you described with it
Replying to
@esnssr Haha, that is so true! I truly do dream of having enough capital to open one. If I ever disappear from social, you'll know what happened ☕️☕️☕️☕️
