💯 there is lots to critique about the rise of LLMs, but these arguments aren't it. Plenty of data out there that people use and will pay for this stuff, that's why it's booming.

Is it possible you're misunderstanding the purpose of building the headset?

Like this feels less like glass, more like: what if your phone was made of jellyfish?

I think we'll have to use it to see but I bet you're right. There's a LOT of color and motion coming through the new glass elements, I bet it gets more frosted by September.

You know what would look really great with your glass appearance, almost like it was designed for it? Invites.

Easy to say "you're responsible for what you merge," but my experience has been that it takes way more vigilance, especially since you can make a LOT of output to review.

One issue I don't see here is lots of LLM/agent use creates new kinds of hazards for programmers. Diffs that are right in the hard parts and off the rails in the boilerplate, or look good at a glance but fit together in weird ways, that sort of thing.

Hot take: this is also when they made the best iPhones ever. (X and XS)

My first thought too. It’s not far off, they’re both running in 26 and they both might win.

It really is wild how much worse lldb in Xcode has gotten. We have supercomputers of unimaginable power on our desks. How can it take 30 seconds to resolve a few stack frames.

The new RSV vaccine radicalized me on this. We just got a new treatment that more or less fixes the most common cause of infant hospitalization. How can anyone not be for that?

Sooooo close to being runnable on a maxed out MBP, right? Maybe in the next generation.

You would think so. On the other hand, most of software writing history suggests not so much.

100%. It was very visible when it happened! Biden smoked the field in the SC primary and that was it.

Yeah it’s almost a troll for the experienced developer. Here, check out this neat thing we built (every example crosses boundaries in the UI frameworks)

One of the great design posts of all time! I’ve read through it at least half a dozen times.
This and the “fluid interfaces think like us” talk from WWDC might be all you need for iOS design inspiration.

This rules!! I just want to say, we did this last Nov in Portland and it WORKED.
A bunch of acceptable candidates and one dude who really sucks is a scenario where ranked choice can really help.

To me maybe the most interesting thing here is the BEAM GC doesn't get crushed. I guess that's because of immutability and process isolation?

Appreciated this article, thanks! Although it is more or less exactly what I'd expect.

💯 but this seems less like a technical problem and more like a "not any ignition I'm about to pay $50k for" problem.
