cynicism is a move up on naiveté but it isn't the last stop.

i really want to say something like 'XCODE_RUNNING_FOR_PREVIEWS' is objectively bad engineering but I guess 2 trillion dollars can't be wrong?

are there cases where a conflict exists among elites that cannot be adequately represented by the many who lack the interpretive nuance to intuit this conflict AND it cannot be simplified. if so, what indicators would you look for to see that this phenomenon is occurring?

feel like this approach is somehow missing the spirit of the architecture as i'm sort of recreating the idea of an Effect at the State level (i know Elm does sort of does this). but i'm toying around w/ one reducer to 'gather' up 'signals' and another to read them, very keypathy

might post about this in the SPM forum as I'm sure you guys are busy and these ideas are surely half baked. but here's a draft of the idea put into action:

exp w/ something where reducers can write values to some state which get read by later reducers to perform an effect. its different from 'Effect' as any reducer in the state tree can write a given value to its own state to be picked up by some top level logic (e.g. toasts)

subtle intuitions you haven't connected to the real world yet but haven't thought through to confidently enunciate anywhere so you try to generalize it into a feeling you can tweet without qualification but sadly realize is probably to abstract to be taken seriously :(

sometimes i worry that a fraction of my own intellect comes from mimicking that of others (usually great physicists, philosophers, etc) and although "great artists steal" I feel some level of unease about the uncertainty of this quantity. how many of my thoughts are my own?

why doesn't xcode have that feature where it autocompletes a string you just typed? this is super helpful when you are e.g. adding a property, init argument, and then assigning to it, etc.
