Nice we found a regression in Xcode’s compilers (pretty sure swiftc and clang because of the errors) because of forced updates on my coworker who was using the App Store version of Xcode. So I made the decision we will stick to 26.2 for now since I know it works.

When the acceptance criteria for a feature has “No lag or crashes during interactions” No duh…

So we were like 6 months behind on updates on our Mac (not me since I had bypassed stuff and forced a major OS update for Xcode) but now they are being shoved down my throat by Rippling to finish fully updating… one… by… one… for some awful reason…

Well all my changes to move to the API seem to be working on first go…

I was doing some stuff to avoid bot detection to scrape data for an app and the bot detection got improved and now I have to actually figure out the API. Oh well at least I’ll now be doing things how they want.

Relying on a linter instead of the compiler to define boundaries between systems makes me sad…

Ugh…

So there is a chance my #Daggerheart campaign is actually going to finish up instead of staying fizzled out with like 3 sessions to go!

It is clear that RN devs don’t care about code hygiene. What is a casual 3000+ warnings in an Xcode project…

Finally learning some AWS (first job where I’ve done SaaS instead of hardware integration) and wow it is complex…

When you have unreasonably complex expressions in swift, every day is Xmas! youtu.be/e5ADGENmv3A?...

It makes me just a little happier every time my co-worker that likes react hates on RN because of its limitations out of the box that he knows shouldn’t be a thing in mobile

8 PRs before lunch… Can I be done for the day?

That moment where all but one PR in your PR channel on slack is from you… Ugh…

I just want my full time job to be native again…

The fact that you need to go find a library to do any trivial OS supported thing in react native is honestly ridiculous and embarrassing

Just heard one of the worst development ideas I’ve ever heard…

Dependabot now supports Xcode projects using SwiftPM with .xcodeproj manifests https://github.blog/changelog/2026-03-31-dependabot-now-supports-xcode-projects-using-swiftpm-with-xcodeproj-manifests

The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.

@krzyzanowskim.com realized I should have tagged you in a follow up to this post the other day. This project was only possible by using Sourcery so I thought you might appreciate it (even if the README) is super outdated (but being worked on).

As always, my biggest feedback, which has to do with digital tools, is to allow creators to profit from their digital work in VTT marketplaces. The 3rd party space is keeping Daggerheart interest alive in the community and we want to make it easier to get those things into VTT player's hands!

Planning out a new app to start working on and @pointfree.co once again has done a tremendous amount of heavy lifting for me, this time with github.com/pointfreeco/... supporting CloudKit

Bah 3rd times the charm on sending a post right?

My last job at Cricut finally open sourced this project I worked on: github.com/cricut/FishyJoes. It is how we were able to ship swift code everywhere for our data manipulations as a user would change text or shapes on their canvas.

My app just got approved with CarPlay as part of it. I’m glad it turned out fairly easy to integrate into my app since I use @pointfree.co’s TCA for the main app. I just setup subscriptions via an AsyncStream to receive remote commands and it just works and feeds it into the normal system.

BREAKING NEWS: The Utah GOP's citizen ballot initiative to repeal Prop. 4 will NOT be on the November ballot after enough signatures have apparently been removed. The Utah GOP confirmed it to me: www.fox13now.com/news/politic... #utpol #Utah

I just want to finish the Daggerheart campaign I’ve been running for months. Like 3 sessions left and now nobody wants to play because one friend wasn’t enjoying how everyone was roleplaying. Not that anyone was doing anything to upset them or be rude or anything like that, they just didn’t like it…

Just submitted v1.4.0 of my app, AudioBookIt to Apple for review. It adds CarPlay support which turned out to be way easier to implement than I thought it would be. I spent WAY more time fighting the configuration and setting stuff to get it building than actually coding it felt like.

this is the story of so many technologies and certainly almost every technology that centers itself around knowledge work. that's because the technology isn't built/marketed/implemented with the workers in mind, it is for the bosses, who implement it in order to extract more out of people

Vibe coding make the code production cheaper and while there is an opportunity to enter existing markets, there are many capital-intensive barriers that will foil those attempts. Distribution channels, existing customers, migration, contracts, marketing - all of those need real bodies and money.

Can I just have native development back when doing mobile? React native takes the worst of traditional mobile development and smashes it with the worst of web development… At least it isn’t my focus anymore for the time being.

My 7 year old came in to ask my wife, “In a fight between Thanos with just the gauntlet and Santa who do you think would win?” My wife quickly answered Santa and he said, “Me too.” And walked out to go back to whatever he was up to before asking his question.

If you use Swift Macros in a library, use this script to remove 50 megs of junk that Xcode forces into your binaries: github.com/migueldeicaz... This has been a public service announcement from the Latino Coalition for Smaller Binaries. github.com/feedback-ass...

The fact that @microsoft.com tries to constantly up sale me when they install updates on my machine is absolutely asinine

My Apple Watch just failed at showing me the time! It was just the background with no time and no controls… 🙃

I spent way too much time last night working on a 3D print for a #daggerheart prop. Hopefully it turns out well tomorrow

Hmm. Do I spend 1/2 hour to do the task manually or 4 hours to automate it?

I made a new app! AudioBookIt helps you manage your files that should be treated as an audiobook as if it were. No more 16 hour long MP3s from @brandonsanderson.com being hard to use! #ios #cosmere apps.apple.com/us/app/audio...

BREAKING NEWS: A judge REJECTS the Utah legislature's map and picks one drawn by the League of Women Voters and Mormon Women for Ethical Government for the new congressional districts: www.fox13now.com/news/politic... #utpol #Utah

Good morning from the latest court hearing on redistricting! We're still waiting for Judge Gibson to pick a map, but she's entertaining arguments on SB1011 — the law the legislature passed rewriting some of the rules of redistricting. I'm live-skeeting this sucker. #utpol #Utah

I hear the Epstein Ballroom will be illuminated solely by gaslighting.

AppStore Connect really leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to communication of problems. It is my first time setting up a subscription and I NEVER would have figured out I need localization of the subscription group to finish the metadata. Thankfully stack overflow helped me out.

Dr. Chen seems great from my reading of half of this so far.

The app I’ve been working on, AudioBookIt, is nearly ready to go to the App Store. Just need to give it a bit of polish and a bit more testing. It has been a breeze with all the new things in #SwiftUI since I can target iOS 18 with it.

@darringtonpress.bsky.social tried asking on X since you weren’t active here yet. So uh, how do I get permission to make a utility iOS app for Daggerheart? I keep seeing them pop up and am wondering how they actually got a response (my emails have been ignored) or if they are breaking terms…

I started dabbling into CarPlay today for the app I’m working on in my spare time and it is not very straightforward so far… Just getting it launching without a crash took me a good while… There aren’t many resources for it either which is interesting.

I still am not enjoying react native but wow TanStack Query is incredibly cool. There might be a part of this app I enjoy working with.

@benwinslow.bsky.social just wanted to say I always appreciate the hard work you put into sharing local political news!

Days since crashing the #swift compiler with some complex code: 0 once again 🙃
