I have been looking into some error monitoring tools (Sentry, Rollbar, etc) for Dispatch -a native API client for mac OS. But boy, it’s almost impossible to guarantee user privacy with any of these tools.

I built a lightweight, native #Postman alternative for Mac OS! Meet Dispatch. Let me know if you want to try it out!

Trying to enroll Apple's developer program. Feels like it's much harder than developing the app. Horrible UX + Nothing works.

SwiftUI was fun until I started working on Core Data!

Just tried Github Copilot code reviews. It's literally like those reviewers we all hate. Rename this, add a comment there, etc. 😀

Postman "light weight" API client starts up with ~400 mb memory. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Despite using the same models Github Copilot is falling behind OpenAI in terms of accuracy and problem solving. Copilot chat often will print garbage or even repeat the same code I have as a solution while OpenAI is kicking a** with its latest code editor where it can iteratively rewrite your code.

I am surprised there is no "good enough" code formatter nor highlighter in Swift or SwiftUI. A few relatively popular libraries are using highlight.js which is not ideal for me. For now I need to pretty print (done via builtin JSONSerialization) and highlight JSON data.

Bluesky is dead - at least for tech. Apart from a few accounts it’s hard to see any engagement on posts. We are mostly monologuing. I also hardly see content in my timeline that I am interested. So the algorithm might be to blame. I will keep posting for a while but not sure for how long. Not fun.

I have been experimenting with SwiftUI lately. It's amazing, and very straight forward, especially if you have ReactJS experience. Buy boy...isn't XCode 20 years back in time? I feel like I'd be more productive on Notepad.

I reported this post on Instagram and instagram thinks it’s not racist and they won’t remove it. Do you agree?

I am a non-American space nerd, and I believe Jared Isaacman is a great choice to lead NASA. I’m sure we’ll hear a lot of exciting news in the coming months under his administration. Congrats to Jared and space nerds all around the world! 😀

Unpopular opinion: Over 95% of web apps online today don’t need reactivity or a large framework like ReactJS or Vue. #ReactJS #Frameworks https://buff.ly/4ggTqQd

Developers, which A/B testing tools are you using these days? I'm particularly interested in ones that work well with ReactJS, and don't cost a fortune. #ReactJS #ABTesting #Software

I love and use Notion every day for any kind of writing. But today I realised it doesn't support auto-correction! Total bummer if your keyboard doesn't have the letters of the language you are typing in. (In my case German layout -> Turkish writing language)

Which sci-fi movie or tv show to watch if your benchmarks are Battlestar Galactica, Expanse or Firefly?

It’s almost 2025. Don’t you think we deserve a programming language and a runtime that can give us a proper stack trace without a setup?

If you are using an ORM that allows you to implement database hooks (eg: beforeUpdate) and populate your database models with business logic, STILL don't do that. It's a terrible idea in the long run.

Is SQL the only popular "language" that has "integer" type (not int)? According to ChatGPT Pascal, Fortran, Visual Basic, Ada and SQL are the only programming languages that you can declare integer types with "integer" keyword.

So I have been working on my "imaginary programming language" in my free time lately. Currently I am working on the lexer/scanner/tokenizer (however you wanna call it). It can currently tokenize function declarations like this. Any suggestions?
