What is it with ads that are mocked up to look like they’re coming from reputable sources like the @BBC? How are they allowed? I see them daily…

So, what are we expecting for #WWDC25? The tagline is ā€œSleek peekā€ and then an animation of what looks like a variable font. Super-thin iPhones and design refresh of iOS maybe?.

Please stop building SPAs. Just because your pages all have the same header and footer, it does not mean you have a single page app. Over 90% of the SPA projects I’ve worked on should not have been SPAs (and were markedly worse because of it).

I really wish @github would remove whatever ā€œimprovementsā€ it added the past couple of months. Opening any non-trivial comparison just seems to absolutely brick the browser. This is on an Apple Silicon machine, with upgraded memory 🫠.
