Last month I was swept up in ForeFlight's massive layoffs. I wrote about my experiences with AI in software development, what I think this means for the future, and why I have concerns. https://charlie.fish/posts/2026/02/re-im-actually-excited-about-the-future-of-foreflight/

It's truly unbelievable how buggy #iOS 26 is. Live Activities are broken. Apple Home is broken. App icons are broken. iMessage is broken. Liquid Glass is 🤷🏻‍♂️. Widgets are broken. Basically nothing is stable in this release. #Apple

Few tidbits about #Apple's new Hold Assist feature. #iOS #iOS26 (1/4)

Pro #AI #Coding Tip: Describe the bug you're trying to solve, ask AI to add extra debug logs to help it troubleshoot, then tell the AI you will reproduce the issue and share the logs with it to help it solve the bug.

Even tho I'm a huge #Apple fan. This is one of the most disappointing #WWDC events I can remember.

AI coding agents (GitHub Copilot Coding Agent, Codex, etc.) seem really bad at formatting code. It's the spaces vs tabs debate, remixed for the AI era.

TIL: You can right click (or press and hold on mobile) the copy button in ChatGPT and "Copy as Markdown". Why don't all AI clients do this?

After reading all the news about #OpenAI's new 4.1 model, I still don't understand why its API is only.

The #iMessage #spam has really gotten out of control recently. Surprised that no one is talking about this more. #Apple #iPhone

Comparing AI Accuracy https://charlie.fish/posts/2025/02/comparing-ai-accuracy #post #blog #charliesblog

#Google just changed their #Map to say “Gulf of #America". However, if you continue to zoom in, the name changes back to "Gulf of #Mexico”. Clearly they rushed QA on this one. #GoogleMaps

I'm now more convinced than ever that @snarfed.org made the wrong decision by making @ap.brid.gy opt-in only. #bluesky #fediverse

The first time I've personally seen #Apple Intelligence inaccuracies in news content. Just to set the record straight: #TikTok ban was NOT ruled unconstitutional. #AI #AppleIntelligence

Building some cutting edge technology here 😂 #developers

I have just pushed some major updates to @airportstatusbot.bsky.social! - Dedicated accounts for #airports. You can now follow an account and only see posts for that specific airport. - Updated #airport #delay information will now be posted as a reply to the original post. 🧵 (1/)

For #AI applications that allow multiple model selection, I wish they'd offer functionality to run a query on multiple models so you can compare and contrast the results to determine which is best for the given use case. I never know which AI model to pick anymore. 😅

A PR to fix broken #hashtags in @bsky.app has been open for over 3 weeks now. Not a single comment from anyone on the @bsky.app team. If anyone knows someone at @bsky.app I can ping about getting this reviewed & merged that would be much appreciated. github.com/bluesky-soci...

Useful bot account set up by @charlie.fish covering the status of USA airports. Thanks Charlie! 🙏 @airportstatusbot.bsky.social

TIL: You can bookmark a file or line of code in #Xcode. 🤯 Goodbye all of my random breakpoints that I used to set while traversing through the codebase; you won't be missed.

We are entering one of the busiest #travel periods in the US. Follow my @airportstatusbot.bsky.social for airport delay information.

👋 to all my new @bsky.app followers.

Semantic Versioning is great for many things. Comparing versions is not one of them.

If you're working with the #Apple #Intelligence ImagePlaygrounds API and can't figure out why the `sourceImage` property isn't working, I spent a good part of today debugging this issue. I wrote a StackOverflow question describing my findings. #iosdev https://stackoverflow.com/q/79196270/894067

I wish #GitHub allowed for private comments. Way too often I subscribe to an issue only to later forget which one of my projects it was related to.

I didn't realize that the Eve Energy outlets actually transmit energy consumption information via #Matter. Still converting more of them to Matter. But decided to take the leap to using Matter beta in #HomeAssistant and the results are incredible for my Energy dashboard so far. #smarthome

Bi-yearly announcement: I'm not looking forward to the clocks changing tomorrow.

GitHub Copilot coming to Xcode.

I just wish #Apple Intelligence would automatically filter out all political spam text messages.

iPhone 16 Camera Control Review https://charlie.fish/posts/2024/10/iphone16-camera-control-review #post #blog #charliesblog

Inbox zero = achieved. Question is: will I be able to sustain it? 😂

I'm super excited to announce my latest #iPhone #app that I built. It's called #Echo for #Lemmy. It is a client for Lemmy, a #decentralized social network for posting news, questions, and more. Very similar to #Reddit, but much more open. Check it out today! echo.rrainn.com/download/iph...

Why doesn't the #Apple #Notes app support #markdown?

@mikestucka.bsky.social You should consider following @ap.brid.gy from your @notnwstornado.bsky.social bot. That way ActivityPub (ex. Mastodon) users can follow it. I guess there is some risk in having bridges on top of bridges. But you’ve disclosed things seemingly really well in the profile bio.

Meta’s new “Orion” AR glasses have to be one of the ugliest products I’ve seen in a while.

There is nothing #Apple can do/say to convince me to buy a new Apple Watch this year. I'll keep my existing watch with Blood Oxygen support. Crazy that Apple can't figure out the legal patent issues with it. #AppleEvent

Happy #Apple Event day!!! #AppleEvent

Just pushed a major update to @airportstatusbot.bsky.social, vastly improving the logic for determining the reasons behind #delays. This should lead to more detailed and accurate delay explanations. Additionally, many infrequent #airport delay reasons have been added. (1/2)

Not the first time I've seen an airport delay with a reason of #thunderstorms, but no thunderstorms on radar. At first I thought it was just a glitch with the image, but looking on #Apple #Weather, there is no thunderstorms on radar either. (1/2)

The boat entrance by each team is 🥇 #Olympics

So this is what people thought #Y2K was going to be like. #CrowdStrike #Outage #IT

One of the most irritating things about #GitHub is when people comment things like "+1" or "bump" on an issue. Reactions exist for a reason. There is no need to spam everyone's inboxes with comments that add zero value to the conversation. I really wish #GitHub would do more to crack down on this.

Well that is fun. #Cloudflare DNS seems to be extremely unstable right now. Ping to 1.1.1.1 fails for a bit then succeeds for a bit before failing again. Can ping other IPs just fine, and observed from 2 different internet connections.

I wish #iOS would just default to #FaceTime Audio whenever possible instead of using the traditional phone network.

Well that sucks... #Apple Developer app on Apple TV keeps crashing when trying to load Platform State of the Union stream. #WWDC #WWDC24

It's time. #WWDC

Today!!! 🎉 #WWDC #WWDC24

Saw a #Tesla #Cybertruck for the first time in person today. If you're wondering if it's as ugly in person as it is in the photos: it is.

Sometimes making the wrong decision is better than making no decision.

And just like that, the rate of inflation for #Bitcoin was just cut in half. #BitcoinHalving
