Joined April 2007
Another great tip from Enid. So much power in the #SwiftUI framework that it's tough to have it all in your head at once. Enid's infographics are as valuable as an LLM subscription as a force multiplier.
New in SwiftUI π Use labelReservedIconWidth() to reserve a fixed width for icons in labels. This ensures titles stay perfectly aligned, even when icons have different sizes. β https://t.co/JnFQ3zO29q

When I emigrated to the US over twenty years ago, I struggled to do the (easiest) Monday crossword, because I didn't know all the cultural tropes. Now I just hit a fun streak milestone -- despite some close shaves π

Coding Intelligence in Xcode 26 supports any model that supports the Chat Completions API, whether local or on the cloud. And if you have a ChatGPT account, we now have integrated support for GPT-5 -- starting with the beta 7 release. Thanks for the great video, @OpenAIDevs!

Xcode developers, rejoice! Claude account support is now enabled, adding to the existing support for ChatGPT (now including GPT-5). This changes how I write code, liberating me to focus on the fun parts! Check it out in Xcode 26 beta 7.
New in Xcode 26 Beta 7: Users can now log into their Claude account from Xcode. Generate code and documentation, automatically fix errors, and create inline playgrounds using coding intelligence features in Xcode, powered by Claude Sonnet 4.

Giant news! Todd led the Flutter engineering team and was my partner there for years, and it's delightful to be working with him again here at Apple. He's going to be a fantastic addition to an already great SwiftUI team.
Iβm thrilled to share that Iβve joined Apple as Director of Engineering, working on SwiftUI! https://t.co/kl4hXTFusk

Calling @AAAnews for a flat tire π that developed overnight. Almost sad that we have cell service at home: would have been fun to try out Roadside Assistance via satellite from my iPhone instead!

With iPhone 14 or later, you can text for roadside assistance when you're off the grid with no cellular and Wi-Fi coverage.

Wow -- was that really only six years ago? We all look so young! While I've moved on to other things, this will always be one of the greatest highlights of my career: in particular working with all the lovely kind people in that photo and those who joined us after πππ
It's been 6 years since Tim said "It gives me a great pleasure to announce the general availability of Flutter 1.0" with a big smile! Such a beautiful and rewarding journey, Flutter friends π We've come so far. π₯² Thank you for all the fun! πβ¨π

I'm surprised that about 80% of the folk I pay attention to not only have BlueSky accounts but are posting and engaged there regularly. Lots of fun, positive, technical conversations taking place in my feed there. Not quite ready to say goodbye here, but the contrast is stark.
