How Mitchell Hashimoto (creator of Ghostty, founder of HashiCorp) got good at using AI tools for coding + work: "I was forcing myself to figure out how to prompt the agent to produce the same quality result as mine. Even though I was working much slower because it was more than double the work."

Before I described the agentic tool revolution as “the next internet moment”, because it makes the cost of entry so much lower for disrupters. But now I’m leaning towards that it’s the next “BASIC for microcomputers” moment, where a lot of “hobbyists” are able to release usable programs.

MLX-Swift now works in CPU mode through SwiftPM! Here's an LLM running inside a Hummingbird app on my WendyOS device!

"Tools I Love: xcrun simctl io booted recordVideo" A handy lil command line tool to visualize changes in my PRs that I use regularly.

Today I wrote an app I've been dreaming about for stage managers, but never had the month I estimated it would take to build it. I did it in 6 hours. That 6 hours also included making my kids breakfast, driving them to school, chatting with an artist at the theater.

"The blood was only ever a means to an end," the vampire confessed in the interview. "To what end?" the reporter asked. "Blood carries vigor, life force, vital energy. That's what we feed on." "So how do you get it, if not through blood?" "These days, we make doom scrolling apps to drain it."

Anthropic has bundled Claude Code features into a more user-friendly interface called Cowork. Looks good. Requires a Max subscription (💰) for now so I can’t try it. Pretty good name, though not as good as Copilot and Codex. Still, I like where Anthropic is going with this.

2025: let’s put mediocre AI in every product 2026: let’s make every product accessible to AI All of the applications that still had support for AppleScript and other accessibility tools are such a pleasure to integrate with Claude. Claude is the most valuable blind user your product ever had

Best post-ride gift shop item ever. At the new Danse Macabre ride in the Efteling theme park they sell snow globes featuring a black cat and dead tree, showing bats and black snow when you shake it.

Interesting post, I'm trying Codex currently to see if it helps. Often I just want Claude to build something and then walk away to do something else, only to discover that it got stuck 10 seconds in.

I've always felt that having one 16" screen was enough for me to work on. An extra screen never felt like a necessity. But I really would like to have the screen estate now to monitor running agents while doing else myself.

This bit from the Amanda Askell interview is interesting. In my recollection, most people on Twitter (in my bubble at least) were really positive and excited about Claude 3. The only negative narratives about Claude I remember seeing came from Anthropic itself.

Would love to get me one of those, but I already have a bunch of originals in storage and a RetroPie. I can't imagine going for the translucent ones, the full sized beige / khaki / brown one really helps bringing back the feel of the original.

posted about my Apple ID woes, please share widely? hey.paris/posts/appleid/

I just updated to iOS 26.1 from 18, and so far it looks good. I would like to thank all of the Gamma testers that ran earlier versions of 26 in the last few months. Your foolish bravery is noted and I'm grateful for your sacrifice.

New Xcode 26 projects come configured with: • Approachable Concurrency • MainActor Isolation • Swift Language Version 5 This makes it very easy to write warning-free code that crashes at runtime! We *strongly* recommend bumping to Swift 6 with complete concurrency checking.

My M2 MacBook Air has been mega slow since updating to macOS Tahoe. Turns out that removing the Spotlight indexing folder as discussed in this thread was the thing my computer needed. Now it's back to normal. discussions.apple.com/thread/25614...

🔌 I have released a new Claude Code plugin: Apple Platform Build Tools. It exposes an Agent Skill—comprehensive examples for using xcodebuild and swift—and a Subagent that can use the Agent Skill to build and test projects and report the results to the main agent. github.com/kylehughes/a...

🏎️ While Swift was originally created for iOS/macOS apps, many might not realize that at Apple we run Swift on the server to operate massive services, on Linux, serving billions of requests per day. Check out our VP's keynote at AWS re:Invent for details youtu.be/JeUpUK0nhC0?...

Never heard about BunnyCDN... until now! Bluesky uses it, it's an European company, and has a rad website Cloudflare outages like this are ofc very good adverts for it bunny.net

I hope anybody in my network can help my friend and co-worker at Nike finding a new job as iOS / Swift developer. He is one of the strongest developers I have worked with, and was both in terms of knowledge and attitude the most important mobile developer in the European Headquarters

💻 Apple just released the Xcode 26.1.1 update. And after using it for a few hours, I’m happy to report that the bug in Simulator that caused Macs to overheat and drain the battery is gone 🥳 🙏 Thank you, good developers at Apple! Updates like this are a huge quality-of-life improvement. #iOSdev

Xcode users. If your Mac is getting unusually warm running Xcode 26.1 (17B55) and macOS 26.1 check the Console for MercuryPosterExtension.ips files filling the crash reports. In ActivityMonitor, "ReportCrash" will be burning up your CPUs. It's related to SwiftUI Previews. FB20986632

I’m religious when it suits me. More specifically, I worship gods. Those 10x engineers who can do stuff with technology I can only dream of being capable of. Today, I’m praying to MxIris, who can look inside Apple’s private frameworks and extract all the internal Swift code like it’s nothing.

Many of us here have issues with Apple right now. I have assembled my thoughts and, as I see it, there are two main problems. https://troz.net/post/2025/apple-has-two-problems/ #apple

Dilemma: - Buy an M4 or M4 Pro Mac mini now, and have a lot more performance now - Wait until the M5 drops, and buy the M4 or M4 Pro anyway for less money Early 2026 is a bit late for me to upgrade, but the benchmarks have been seen in the wild already
