everything has tradeoffs, on the one hand you are right you have one less dependency, on the other hand the maintenance of said dependency is now on you. many times app store connect has changed some api and fixing our release process was a matter of updating fastlane because the community had already dealt with it, that's on you if you have a bespoke delivery solution.

This is cool but also makes me worried about the tendency with llms for all of us to make bespoke solutions rather than building a better community tool or extending an existing tool to solve the problem. fastlane exists to solve exactly this problem in the mobile space.

Was driving in Lapland with a car like this, snow and ice everywhere on the road except in 2 narrow strips of pavement previous drivers had driven over, naturally it was not always in the exact area of lane that lane assist wanted me and I felt it was actively trying to kill me. Was able to disable but turned back on every time you stopped and started engine and I am forgetful.

You are signing up for another hellscape of unmaintainable slop. Enable package cooldowns and only whitelist internal packages and you are better off than 90%

not to mention rage posting dozens of time a day doesn't scream contentedness

Presumably if they want ai regulation they want evenly applied regulation across the industry, not just for them.

Jira is fine and devs just grow to hate issue trackers because they hate that part of the job. Watch for another one to come and go when people get sick of linear.

I was a fan of Robinhood's mission of democratizing finance and prioritizing UX for casual traders. They seem to jump on every hype train though, crypto, prediction markets, now agentic trading, whether it is ethical or not or good for their customers or not, and it seems like the distance between "democratizing finance" and "finding new suckers" is closing. Disappointing but not surprising.

Not sure i understand. Sure it doesn’t require it but Apple doesn’t trust you to handle it because you’ll probably drain the battery or spam the user or whatever, that is Apple MO, putting themselves in the middle so they can control the experience.

The single persistent connection is just to receive pushes, there is still some daemon controlled by apple in charged of dispatching to correct app.

yeah this is what author hints at with "Push as a battery problem". Apps are limited by default in what they can do in the background due to this, so most apps are in a suspended state not making network calls when you are not using them. To avoid the app having to keep running this stuff is delegated to OS which tells the app, "hey I have a push for you wake up and handle it!" You can send pushes locally but because of the background limitation it is not practical for unpredictable events like messages coming in.

hey now, they should be grateful they get enough tokens for their appointments with ClaudeMD for their statistically below par data labeling performance, we could reduce the allowance if we keep hearing that kind of talk. We have been very generous with portions at the automatic canteen as well, that energy could be better allocated to the maintenance bots in the server farm.

just this week i pushed back on some requirements in a very detailed product spec I was implementing to speed up time to ship. The pm had no idea what I was talking about because the requirements were invented by an LLM. This is not a bad PM, discipline doesn't scale.

a bit of a roundabout way to answer this, but i think most native devs are okay with a self contained app element using webkit, that is what it is there for and generally stuff like rendering html, markdown, a one off static page, it is just a view from UI perspective. When things get more interactive, have a navigation hierarchy, animations etc are when things start to diverge from native feel and performance and you have gone too far.

Just make it a semi-hidden multistep option like browsers when you visit a site with a bad cert, just annoying to leave what you are doing go to system settings and fiddle.

Ruta Maya is quite good as well, probably not as big of a coffee snob as the author though.

Are you sure you wanna live like costco people?

I use this all the time dropping files from old android device to mac, thanks devs!

What do i have to be to get Fridays too?

It makes perfect sense if you think things cannot improve indefinitely

Finally a product for me!

productivity going right back down again, ah well they weren't going to pay us more anyway

Calling Yosemite bog standard beauty in California is a pretty wild statement. California definitely punching above its weight for natural beauty and Yosemite is overcrowded but the valley is still one of the more breathtaking places in the world IMO.

You often find expat communities have the exact opposite viewpoint as those that remain, part of the reason they are expats. See cuban expats, nicaraguan expats, not to say they are wrong but they are not a monolith representing all of a civilization. Presumably those standing around the bridges don’t want them bombed.

these economic incentives for good code would also apply to code before llms no? And we have had plenty of shit code that stayed shit for a long time. I find this idea that economic incentives will necessarily drive the outcomes you desire to be akin to a religious belief for some people.

Yes of course we are all brainwashed by the famously democrat controlled media at _the Wall Street Journal_ which is owned by prominent leftist Rupert Murdoch. bro you are being robbed in broad daylight.

Didn’t even strike me as weird phrasing. Or rather: strike me as weird phrasing it did not.

You certainly built a large strawman out of one sentence.

Crazy how effective at making everything worse this admin has been.

Also https://maestro.dev/ is pretty good these days
