This is why we don't use English for math

📣Announcing the first preview releases of Swift for Android, enabling you to build Android business logic with the same Swift that you use for Apple platforms. https://t.co/UAR6LO3prQ #Android

Developer kept complaining our RDS instance was too slow. Wanted to upgrade from db.t3.large to db.r5.8xlarge. Cost increase: $140/month to $3,400/month. I checked query performance first: - Query ran 47,000 times per hour - No indexes on the WHERE clause columns - Missing

Android has become very aggressive re: battery saving in recent years, breaking changes crippling whole categories of apps in order to boost "battery life metrics." When the phone is actually used, it becomes clear why. The software architecture of Android is not very efficient.

You all understand that the AI bubble is about to pop, right? And when it does all the hiring managers, who have been holding their breath waiting for the AI miracle, will take a deep breath, realize in horror that they are badly understaffed, and start hiring programmers with

I sent this note to our entire team at @Opendoor earlier today.

Xcode beta 7 auto complete has been hallucinating methods and arguments

As I get more experienced with using LLM assistance, I'm finding it closer to supercharged autocomplete than anything else. And I get better results if I think about it that way too. If I simply write prompt after prompt without the closest idea of what it's actually doing,

Needs more lidar

Royal Caribbean must pay pretty good money to keep their brand name out of these headlines.

Are we supposed to be spending $40k per month on ads for a $100k revenue app? 🤔

New icon mask for iOS/iPad/macOS 26 is a rounder parametric squircle. #WWDC25

Long-term, AI is not replacing any software engineers, and in fact will lead to the wildest headcount growth this industry has ever seen. Yes, there are leaders out there who are experts in value extraction over revenue growth who are massively reducing engineering headcount

@dwlz Yes. When power tools were invented (circular saws, drills), builders weren't out of work, they could just build houses faster. But the important takeaway is once electric tools were invented, the builder who opted out was quickly out-competed by those who embraced the new tools.

Mark Rober: Should we show how Luminar LIDAR based cars perform much better in dense urban traffic? Luminar: No, our system can't do that Mark Rober: Should we show how much better it is than Tesla at driverlessly operating in parking lots Luminar: No, our system can't do

@dhh Companies will just swallow worse software as a cost of eliminating their expensive coding teams. It will suck.

Please no.

Ugh. You’ll see a lot of takes like this over the next few years—just write them off. Programmers will be the highest paid vocation in history, and TC will exponentially increase because of AI. There’s never been a better time to learn how to build software.

I guess I spent years showing up to the office to first-thing-in-the-morning in-person stand-up meetings where everyone (including your boss) says what they did the day before and what they plan to do today. What's the big deal about this "send an email progress report" thing?

Some times you just gotta admit defeat. System tests -- the end-to-end variety that drive a headless browser -- just aren't worth the effort. We'll bring back a minimal set for smoke testing, but rarely been happier to see 5,000+ lines of code erased!
