RE: I'm actually excited about the future of ForeFlight https://charlie.fish/posts/2026/02/re-im-actually-excited-about-the-future-of-foreflight #post #blog #charliesblog

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/

I can’t keep up with @Mastodon anymore. The signal to noise ratio is completely off in my timeline. Anyone have any #tips or #suggestions for how to improve that? #fediverse #mastodon

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 When the call is no longer on hold, it is just silence, and when the call center representative says something, that clip gets transcribed, and they will hear a message that says “This message has been transcribed. One moment while […]

@ivory Any insight on when we can expect a Liquid Glass update?

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.

@steipete I remember you posted before about a speech to text tool that you use with Claude Code. But I can't seem to find that post again. What is the name of the tool you use for that?

I’ve really enjoyed seeing the posts from @steipete about AI coding on @Mastodon recently. Really great content and information about what is working for people in this new era.

Are all the #wwdc sessions really dropping today? Or is this some type of caching issue with the Developer app?

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

#apple just posted every single press release from #wwdc. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/

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

IF this comes true 😍. I’ve wanted a touchscreen #mac since probably the first #iphone came out and I was like 9 years old. I will be buying this day 1. https://mastodon.social/@macrumors/114180816278573114

I've never once gotten a security vulnerability report in my software. Until this year. This year I've gotten 4 beg bounties (all of which are completely false/irrelevant reports). If you haven't read @troyhunt's post about Beg Bounties, I highly recommend reading it. These people are actively […]

@ivory My muted list completely broke in the past day or so. I think my TestFlight updated to the latest build when this stopped working. If I go into my mute list it only lists the username with no profile pictures and actual names, which I’m pretty sure is incorrect. Any ideas on how to fix […]

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 @bsky.brid.gy opt-in only. #fediverse #bluesky

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 - 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. - Certain airport #closures will […]

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. 😅

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 for airport delay information.

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

@ivory It looks like my Notifications tab hasn’t worked for like 3 days or so on my iPhone. I did get one message about Invalid Data. But I can’t get it to show that error again. Notifications seem to be working fine tho.

Also, #apple should really open source their documentation. I'm sure so many people (myself included) would be happy to contribute improvements. It would be game changing for the entire #iosdev ecosystem. (I know there is probably a lot of behind the scenes tooling challenges in making this […]

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 guess I'll join in the trend of posting #bluesky handles on Mastodon 😂. I still consider Mastodon my primary social platform these days, but I do cross-post quite a bit (where it makes sense). I also have bridging enabled (so if you want to directly follow this account from Bluesky, you can […]

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

This has to be one of the more baffling things I've run into during my days of iOS development. I never in a million years thought that increasing the cache size even more would work. But for some reason, it did. And I still don't understand why at all. #iosdev […]

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

GitHub Copilot coming to Xcode.

@Mastodon desperately needs official quote post support. @ivory's integration is amazing, but not getting notified when someone quote posts my post is pretty annoying.

If your #iOS #developer team is struggling to move to #Swift 6/Xcode 16 due to #Apple’s new Swift #Concurrency changes, I highly recommend contacting @mattiem#ios#developer#swift#concurrency even reading his blog posts). He did a workshop for @foreflight that was incredibly valuable in learning about the new Swift 6 […]

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

@ivory It would be super cool if you could mute a Mastodon server/instance as opposed to just specific users.

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 #application that I built. It's called @echo for @LemmyDev. It is an application for #lemmy, which is a #decentralized social network for posting news, questions, and much more. It is very similar to #reddit, but much more open and […]

Why doesn't the #apple #notes app support #markdown?

@ai6yr It looks like there is a lot of duplicate back to back posts from @nwsboulder_bot lately. Also, just want to say, thank you so much for your work on this bot! It's truly awesome.

@ai6yr Is it expected that @nwsboulder_bot is no longer posting images? Looks like the last time the bot included an image in a post was 5 days ago.
