The odd thing is that UIKit can easily be transformed into a much more pleasant experience if you just fix some of the worst API’s, like embedding ViewControllers and adding constr…

Loss or breakage. I had the original AirPods and vowed to never buy them again because replacing the battery was so expensive. Just ridiculous to throw away expensive audio equipme…

Reminder me of all those “{trivial thing}, on the internet” patents 25 year ago

Yet I never had issues doing any design thrown at me using AppKit, UIKit or SwiftUI. Only storyboards and XIBs were hard to style globally. All of the flexibility, but a lot faster…

And Intents

It’s funny how a US$30 ReSharper license that would give me a 20% performance boost in programming was out of the question, while me burning US$3000 per month on tokens for a 40% b…

“…if you give it good context…” that’s what the architect session is for basically. You throw around ideas and store the direction you want to go. Then you execute it with a clean …

I think stable API versions are going to be really big. I’d rather have known bugs u can work around than waking up to whatever thing got fixed that made another thing behave diffe…

Poland is quite intertwined. But Catholicism has its own government, which prevents individual catholic countries to veer off too much.

Hungary was outpaced by all WU countries in the last 20 years: https://gki.hu/language/en/2024/06/18/hungarys-20-years-in-t... I guess it’s attractive for its low wages? But not be…

Bloomberg also has a link, but doesn’t mention ASML is actually adding 1400 engineers while cutting 4500 managers: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-28/asml-plan...

Apologies for the Dutch source, but I couldn’t find any source in English yet. “ ASML plans to eliminate approximately 3,000 of its 4,500 management positions in engineering. The e…

It’s much easier to make stuff work with Safari first then last.

“In the EU” only because some countries might have individual laws, unless you have more information about the EU specifically causing that? The country with the worst “bad opinion…

Problem with SwiftUI is that it only works well on macOS 26, maybe one version prior. AppKit works well on all macOS versions. Building a macOS 26 only app in SwiftUI today is a gr…

I had similar experiences working with the RAW data API's that appeared a few years ago in iOS. My photos were barely better than the stuff I would take with my old Nokia! I have a…

Worse is the Git UI, where random English words that seem to have a clear meaning in the context of source control don't do at all what you think they do, or five different things,…
