UI Showdown: Tweetbot vs. Twitter App

We used Greptile where I work and it was so bad we decided to switch to Claude. And even Claude isn’t nearly as good at reviewing as an experienced programmer with domain knowledge.

I appreciate the prompt engineering effort, but it's a lot of claims and not much substance. Also, I wouldn't call Japanese used in anime "real Japanese", especially from anime like Attack on Titan. And how do you get around the copyright issue? Does this fall under fair use?

This article is full of statements that are not backed up by any material proof. The author claims that Swift features no longer compose without giving a single example. I write Swift SDKs for a living and I have never thought that any of the recent features felt incompatible, incongruous, or redundant. Sure, each has its strengths and weaknesses, but that results in an expressive language where every problem has several solutions with different tradeoffs.

When it comes to governance, it’s not without wrinkles, but it’s not as bad as the author makes it sound. If anything, things got a bit less “dictatorial” since Chris left. Different core team members pull in slightly different directions which made the language more balanced in my view.

One reason they are charging is to weed out bad actors or people not serious enough about publishing apps on their stores. That said they could do this as a one off like Google, and make it cheaper too.

This going to be a naive question due to my lack of familiarity with WebAssembly, but what does it it being to the table that wasn’t possible to do with any other standalone program packaged as a binary?

As an iOS developer I’ve learned to never put 3rd party secrets in the app. I typically go with a proxy backend server and attach a request-unique nonce that’s created using an obfuscated secret key stored as an array of integers on the client.

I’m quite confused by the paragraph arguing that advertisers don’t want to violate my privacy. So if I’m a parent and rather keep that private from everyone, how’s showing me diaper ads by obtaining that information from somewhere I didn’t suspect not a violation of my privacy?

I don’t see Apple going the route of bundling Chromium. Catalyst does allow porting iOS apps to macOS but it’s been not great so far.

I think there will always be a category of people who prefer using native apps for performance, security, or access to OS features. Anecdotally I looked at the apps I have installed and I found out that I don’t have many electron apps on my Mac beside chat apps and VS Code. I suspect non tech-savvy people might have even less, since they do a lot more inside their browsers compared to before.

I’m not sure what you refer to when you say “native desktop apps aren’t coming back”, given that they never left t begin with.

Please take some time to read the documentation and see the examples. The omega() (there is no alpha() mixin btw) mixin doesn’t compile to CSS, so debating whether it's semantic or not is beside the point. If, after having a closer look, still think that Neat would not be solving any of your current problems, then you are more than welcome to stick to your guns. No tool is perfect for everyone.
