I was feeling lazy so I asked Claude code to figure out a swift build error. After 15 minutes and several wrong solutions my laziness went away and I figured it out in about 20 seconds. The direction Claude was headed, I’m not sure it would have ever figured it out.

brew install zig 😬 🙈

Can Zig run on iOS?

Cook has officially lost the locker room

While I’m feeling radicalized, LLMs are not getting us to AGI. They are just fancy search engines that don’t credit their sources.

Eff the suits 😂

It's Friday and you're obviously wondering... what were the best Swift-related Bluesky posts this week? 🤔 Well, wonder no more. This feed's got you covered 🏎️ bsky.app/profile/did:...

This reply is hilarious 😂

I 100% endorse choosing a tech stack based on the cuteness of its mascot. Yo @swift.org you need to step your game up.

If starting a new iOS app today, would it be crazy to use a UIKit lifecycle and just host SwiftUI inside view controllers? Or are we all in on the SwiftUI lifecycle?

nonisolated(unsafe) 😂

Yo @bsky.app and @pfrazee.com and @jay.bsky.team. Any chance you all want to hire an iOS dev looking to get into Go and Typescript? How do folks switch usually switch tech stacks? I feel like i’m only qualified to apply to native iOS jobs.

The future of high quality apps will be some shared logic (Swift, Kotlin, or Rust) and native UI built with SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose.

Swift is finally living up to its promise 👀

It seems like @groue.bsky.social is at least actively thinking about this.. From Mastodon- hachyderm.io/@groue/11531...

Now that Swift on Android is possible - is anyone working on a SQLite swift package that runs on iOS and Android? Does GRDB run on Android?

Getting older is seeing a really nice tree and saying out loud, “wow, that’s a nice tree!”

One time an engineering manager asked me if there was “something we could do so that the app never crashes? Like, the backend has ‘try’ error handling.”

while learning react native / @expo.dev I can't help but feel like there has been so much time and effort put in by a lot of people just to avoid learning Swift and/or Kotlin 😂

I've been in tech too long to be this poor.. someone hire me and give me a big salary please.

what if we all just stopped using AWS?! 👀

Time to really learn jetpack compose 👀

SwiftUI preview canvas. And I guess just xcodeproj in general. I really can’t wait for the day when a package dot swift file can be used instead.

😂 quote post from my iPhone air..

But Tom.. the server in your closet doesn’t have Amazon Black Friday scale.. lol I promise, you don’t need that kind of scale.

You know what isn’t down? The server in my closet 🤷‍♂️

I guess I’m behind on my Apple News; I just found out my M4 MacBook is obsolete 😢 😂

I’m learning react native / expo for a project and it was shocking to find out that it needs cocoapods.. what year is it!?

Wait.. it’s only Wednesday!?

yo @tangled.org 2 feature requests; 1. private repos 2. organization support I am willing to pay for this stuff.

if you were starting a new iOS app today would you use SwiftData or GRDB/sqlite-data?

I am officially moving all my repos to @tangled.org bye Github 👋

When people ask why I still check X.. x.com/stevenacohen...

I started using @tangled.org this weekend. They are doing a great job.

After a few months of vibe coding with Claude code and codex, I’m more sure than ever that our jobs are safe.

i wrote about atproto and why it matters

It’s a little thing, but I’m still very pleased to see async support coming to defer. forums.swift.org/t/se-0493-su...

I didn't use any betas this year. I really like the new UI stuff for iOS and MacOS 👀

we all agree that the iPhone air is the phone to get, right?!

This is very accurate 👀 news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4503...

I have a love/hate relationship with Claude Code..

so much LLM slop gets merged into repos at work and no one seems to care 😜

Yo Android devs, what are the best resources online for learning? What’s the go to architecture in 2025? Data persistence? UI framework? Etc..

I've never tried Apple Vision Pro. Anyone else?

I don’t need to learn Zig I don’t need to learn Zig I don’t need to learn Zig

twitter -> x caused the micro-blogging split: bsky, nostr, mstdn, threads, etc is less independent vibe-coded github (owned by msft) going to do the same for open source: tangled, codeberg (forgejo), radicle, etc 😓

I want 2012 Apple software on 2025 Apple hardware..

It helps speed up some things but overall Claude Code just isn’t a good iOS dev. It’s OK with some swift if you give very strict rules to follow. Overall, our jobs are very safe.

I’ve been doing iOS development for so long that I know how to spell wenderlich 😂 What about you?

Where it all began..
