I’ve been a diehard Apple Maps user since the day it came out. You should know that two weeks ago I switched to Google Maps, and it’s vastly better.

I may be the product with Google Maps, but Google Maps is also more focused on me having a good experience than Apple Maps is.

The thing is. Claude is just by far the best tool for the job like 95% of the time.

Me: I’m probably good with going back down from Claude Max.
Claude: ha ok if you think so
Claude: 4hrs off being in max “you’ve reached your limit”
Me: I’ll wait
Me: 60min later, fuck it, back to Max.

(I also pay for Gemini and various APIs ugh)

Discord is the worst iOS app I use daily. Won’t even open on my phone today. Point to this bullshit whenever someone says “no one needs native iOS development”

All current public evidence points to Tim Cook supporting ICE.

Moltbot is simply carefree with its token use and it still often fails on tasks and has to be prompted to try again.

Literally used the Claude Mac app to clean out the BS Moltbot created. Lol

Played with Clawdbot / Moltbot all day today on a Mac Mini. Compared it to a similarly styled app I vibe coded. In the past few days my vibe coded app used about $3 of tokens via Open AI on a mixture of cheap and expensive models.

Moltbot hit $7 just today on a very cheap models.

Sounds like you’d need an XL for that much. L might fit it but it would be a squeeze.

iOS/iPadOS 26.1 allows you to disable swipe to open camera from the lock screen, I always hated that gesture, good riddance. (Settings > Camera)

iCloud sync used to be magic. Now I spend a lot of time staring at my iPhone’s Photos app waiting for it to sync 1 photo and then staring at my iPad waiting for it to pick up that one photo.

Then I go use my open source, self-hosted, photo app and it’s synced everything before iCloud launched.

My member intel this week includes at what elevation it’s ok to wear certain outer layers, making it perhaps one of the most CO based style guides out there.

Claude v. GPT-5
- GPT-5: “wow that was fast, but not really what I asked but kind of, don’t be lazy”
- Claude: “my dude, I just wanted a quick short answer, not a dissertation on it, could you chill a little”

Happy to test out if you need a TestFlight user, I use your app more than Reminders itself, haha.

Hey I love your app, like so much, but in iOS 26 I get a persistent lag and a spinner while it looks for lists. Which means I can’t launch the app and start typing, I have to wait. This happens more on my M4 iPad Pro than it does on my iPhone, but I still see it there. Advice?

For sure. And while I’m not a Musk fan, the progress they’ve made on grok is seriously staggering.

Reasonable explanation but doesn’t do anything to build any level of trust in grok such that I’d want to use it over the other models. Top of the benchmarks or not. Which is likely going to be a big problem when they need to sort out making money.

Will be telling about so much when the next board next hires Yaccarino.

I got angry enough to write about why you should never let the sales team run the app strategy.

I used to be fluent in Japanese and was using it to brush up and thought it was not good.

I heard this went out of stock and I think the brand might be on a well deserved vacation. But, I stand by the fact that you can’t spend any amount of money to get something better than this for the office. And some would say I’ve *tested* way too many backpacks.
