I've always used em-dash. I got familiar with the hotkeys when I started using Mac OS X in 2002. Option+Hyphen for en-dash, Option+Shift+Hyphen for em-dash. It's unfortunate that i…

I stopped reading almost immediately. The stylistic choices in the writing just felt like LLM to me. Examples: "depth estimation that beats PyTorch on CPU in half the memory" — "…b…

SwiftUI has a lot of failings, but it can also do a lot of things that are really tricky in UIKit. I can render Metal shaders trivially in SwiftUI. Rendering glows, and blurs, and …

It’s incredible some of the little details in LEGO instructions. My son and I were assembling a set, and one of the corner pieces was strangely absent. My son asked, “why can’t we …

Their docs seem entirely LLM written. It seems especially obvious in the FAQ. While I'm not against using LLMs for writing assistance, they've left a lot of the unnecessary languag…

There are a lot of ways that AI speeds up software development processes that aren't the actual software development. I am finding that lately I do not allow LLMs to write any code…

To repurpose a quote from Walt Disney, I don’t make software to make money, I make money to make more software. I want my hobby project to be my job, because I don’t want to work f…

Woah. As an adult man with five kids, two of them infants, the most natural thing in the world is for them to be present in almost every second of my life. It’s not difficult at al…

We had a contention between MCP / Skills for our product and ended up offering both. We built a CLI tool that could interface with the MCP server [1]. It seems redundant but our ap…

I tried to live like this for a while but found I could not separate applications into spaces I would try setting up a space for, eg, all my communication stuff. But suddenly I’d n…

I had Opus 4.6 running on a backend bug for hours. It got nowhere. Turned out the problem was in AWS X-ray swizzling the fetch method and not handling the same argument types as th…

The example given in the article is acceptance criteria for a login/password entry flow. This is fairly easy to spec-out in terms of AC and TDD. I have been asking these tools to b…

That's a pretty extreme take. I've been using the Mac since about 2001. I like Tahoe and a well designed Tahoe app can look really nice on the platform. There are bugs, inconsisten…
