Yes. Yes it is.

Great post. Lots of developers I know made their choices early and stuck with them. But I’ve seen others move towards the centre and start to experiment. It is those who just think they can ignore it and it’ll go away that I don’t understand. I like technology. I want to play.

The increase in testing at younger ages needs to be explained as causing those numbers to go up. Mortality numbers are also off for this disease because it’s found in older people who have another condition and then not counted as COD. I’m a 2 year, Stage 3 rectal cancer survivor, diagnosed at 43.

This is so true. But it was this line that resonated, having not got enough sleep last night…

“I've had conversations with people recently who are losing sleep because they're finding building yet another feature with "just one more prompt" irresistible.”

I keep rejecting passkeys for the same reason. But we are old. Most users don’t understand passwords.

Apple’s password app does allow you to export passkeys and passwords to other apps that can accept that import tho. So you can get them out. I think that’s new in iOS26.

‎Bob's Word Search Game ‎Bob's Word Search Game is an offline word search game with no ads, no in-app purchases and no coins or gems to buy. I'm Bob and I was looking for a word search game and couldn't find one that didn't...

I wrote an iOS word search game. It just went live today.

I did it to learn. I did it because I don’t want my word search game to be filled with gems and coins and in-app purchases.

Mostly I did it because I like word searches and it was fun.

Just getting back into the blogging game. Wrote up the dev and deployment process we’ve been using for the past few years.

You only need to look at the UK Christmas TV schedule if you want to see how linear television is dead.

I’ve never found it worked for me. Either I need to think about a problem in peace, and the other person gets in the way. Or I don’t need to think about the problem, and the bottleneck is the keyboard.

I’ve seen it work well for juniors who are less confident. Or for very specific problems.

Parallel tracks are also best for those disabled or immunocompromised. So it’s a better long term solution. Having been through chemo last year, some people just can’t travel. Pandemic or not.

I’ve tried to look at the data, and only the US seems to still have a problem. 400+ last week. So I can understand they might be more sensitive to it. But 100 per day are also killed in the US in automobile accidents. And I’m assuming we’re not going to suggest people don’t drive to conferences.
