It’s amazing!

Last week I released SwiftUI Pro, a free and open-source agent skill to help everyone write better SwiftUI code using agents such as Codex and Claude. It's already at 1800 stars on GitHub and rising, but it was just the beginning. github.com/twostraws/Sw...
Thank you so much for this, Paul! What a wonderful gift to the community. And, as someone that’s just learning about these agents and how they interact with my code, this is invaluable.
It’s a good post, and also pretty depressing given that state of things. Thanks for writing it.
This piece has been coming for a while, in one form or another. Makes me deeply unhappy to write it. mattgemmell.scot/the-fallen-a...
A one-day slowdown is irritating. A one-month slump is terrifying.
With support for abolishing ICE growing and a bipartisan backlash prompting Trump to at least feign a more conciliatory approach in Minnesota, this is the moment to exert pressure. bit.ly/4aoo0an
This is not normal. Business as usual cannot continue. But what that means, exactly, is up to us.

Great post. I will start “acting different” by not buying any Apple products going forward. I usually spend a lot of money on Apple gear every year. No more. I know it’s kind of lame, but it’s concrete for me. I know there is more to do, but it’s a start for me.

The killings by federal agents of Renée Good and Alex Pretti took place less than 20 minutes from Patagonia’s St. Paul store, a location that’s been part of the community for 21 years.

So much respect for you. Thank you for this!
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Congrats! Will check it out, for sure.
An ad from Google from 1999, featuring a simple search engine interface with a search bar labeled "Google Search" and a button labeled "I'm feeling lucky." Below the interface, there is a description stating that Google is a pure search engine with no distractions, ads, or links to sponsors.
Search like it's 1999, but better!
No ads or sponsored results. Quick, efficient searches. Lenses, snaps and other unique features for tailored results.

I’m sorry for the long post but a lot of you have followed me for a long time, since 2016 when I was one of the first to repeatedly call out Trump for being a Russian asset.
I don’t know how else to say this, as a person who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it) and totalitarian states.
I hate not having a job. I just want to make cool apps. If you need an #iOS or #macOS developer, I've been doing this since 2008. I worked at Apple on the Reminders app, and I've got lots of #SwiftUI and #Swift experience. I'm really quite the catch.
Great session! Thank you.
But not when running Xcode/Simulator on Sequoia? If so, that’s a bummer. I’ve only got one Mac and don’t want to put Tahoe on it. A VM doesn’t seem to work for Apple Intelligence. I guess I’ll need to either buy a “test” Mac or just wait.
Hey devs, how do you handle macOS betas? Two separate machines? VMs? How do you keep things synced up?
I have one Mac and have set up a VM for Tahoe. But it doesn’t support everything. Thinking about a Mini for testing, but hate the idea of managing two machines.
Any advice?

Well, you *can* run Tahoe in a VM on Sequoia, but unfortunately Apple Intelligence doesn’t work in the VM, and therefore neither will the new LLM tools in Xcode. Maybe I’m missing something.
Great to know! Thanks.
Any idea if macOS 26 can run in a VM on macOS 15? (I will try later, just wondered if you’d tried). I only have one Mac and won’t put this early beta in it, but would love to try out the new ChatGPT stuff in Xcode!
While I laud the Swift team’s desire to make concurrency easier and more understandable, right now I just see more @ attributes, settings, and changes that I don’t fully grok. I’m sure after some time and use it will all make sense. Anyway, your posts have really helped me and I appreciate them.
Ok, let's try a thing! I'm going to do an a hour-long live QA/discussion on Swift Concurrency on March 1.
Come, hang out, and let's learn some stuff together. I think it could be fun!

👋 from the Swift team, now on Bluesky!
Where has BBEdit been all my life?
This was a hard one. But we, as developers for Apple platforms and as humans, have a responsibility to respond.

Hoping to go see it tomorrow!
God I hope not!
