I've been using my Oriens harness app to work with Claude to help design future Oriens functionality, and LLM AIs have a fascinating duality. On the one hand, I can't imagine ever designing another product without its help -- on the other, it may help me build stuff no one will ever want to use.
Claude decided (on its own) my dropdown buttons were too boring, so it found SF Symbols that matched Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT. I guess it struck out with Ollama. Not enough animals in SF Symbols. #SwiftUI
Private equity capitalist value extraction, here we come! Didn't you just fire half your company employees and replace them with AI tools? Shouldn't that make the products less expensive?
OMG, the Iranians trolling Trump online. I'm practically dying of laughter.
Using Claude for 3 months, I have learned more about practical SwiftUI development than I can explain. However, #HackingWithSwift, HWS+ and the years of listening to @twostraws.bsky.social laid the foundation for understanding what I'm doing.
We've reached Inception! Today, I was 'talking' with Gemini to understand the concept of apostrophe in creative writing. After some explaining, it suggested we do an exercise where I write some text and Gemini judges it! It started off by giving me a prompt to make my part of it easier to start.
What flying through SFO airspace sounds like, I talk to tower at 0:55, 2:44, and 6:15. I flew through as the Lufthansa 747-8i (Flight 455 Heavy) is taking off, the nice new 100th Anniversary livery, and got a rare "nice paint-job" compliment from tower at 5:40. archive.liveatc.net/ksfo/KSFO-Gn...

Was flying over San Francisco, when D-ABYN departed. She’s the prettiest livery I’ve ever seen. The blue and white contrast almost make her camouflaged, kind of hard to make out the aircraft shape at a distance.
Last month I was swept up in ForeFlight's massive layoffs. I wrote about my experiences with AI in software development, what I think this means for the future, and why I have concerns. https://charlie.fish/posts/2026/02/re-im-actually-excited-about-the-future-of-foreflight/
I think Moltbook is an AI Zoo. And that's giving Zoos a bad name. @emilymbender.bsky.social
N846AN (AA 7) BNE-bound 787-9 diverted to Gold Coast (OOL/YBCG), presumably because the two SYD-bound Qantas A380s had to divert to BNE. It's been on the ground 24 hrs, I wonder what happened to the pax, and when it's flying home. @flightradar24.com @jetcitystar.bsky.social
Finished Day 38 & iExpense Challenges of #100DaysOfSwiftUI at www.hackingwithswift.com/100/swiftui/38. I figured out Challenges 1 & 2, but got stumped on #3. Fortunately, HWS+ helps.

🎉 I just finished Day 37 of the #100DaysOfSwiftUI at www.hackingwithswift.com/100/swiftui/37. To understand Identifiable better, I goofed around a bit and looked at a List where SwiftUI won't be able to properly track each row.
#100DaysOfSwiftUI Day 35 Challenge complete! www.hackingwithswift.com/100/swiftui/35 I finally managed to built the Edutainment app, and feel somewhat good about the functionality. The UI will need an overhaul once I get a little further in the course.
Broke the streak. I took a month off, attended WWDC25, OneMoreThing, CommunityKit, Students, Swift & Stars, and heard @twostraws.bsky.social inspire folks at all 3 events! Built a workspace for #100DaysOfSwiftUI and reviewed the animation sections, Day 34 done www.hackingwithswift.com/100/swiftui/34

Ahmedabad's runway 23 is 11,499' long. That's a sizable runway for any international airport. It appears Air India 171 routinely back-taxied. On its last flight (on left) FR24 did not observe any back-taxiing, which is also the case with the flight on June 7th. Note: FR24 data could be incomplete.
James Dempsey introducing the new Apple Release calendar to address the issue of 26 coming out in 2025. #WWDC
The FAA has put up two TFRs in Los Angeles. They're from the surface to 400'. The one over I-405 is specifically marked a UAS-only TFR, presumably to stop the use of drones. The one over downtown bans all aircraft. These TFRs criminalize the use of any non-law enforcement drones.
What a fantastic event to accompany #WWDC25. These student projects were so inspiring, and I'm just amazed how talented all these 'kids' are. Also, great to catch up with Charlie, Kai and Malin.

This may be the first time Guess the Flag from #100DaysOfSwiftUI has run on the iOS 26 simulator. Notice the translucent alert dialog. (Not sure if it's a sim bug, but the alert text is flushed left for incorrect answers and centered for correct answers.)
These glass effects are pretty cool. I wonder what they'll feel like on a real device.
Saw a preview of Matt’s knowhow in today’s OMT tutorial and I highly recommend his session!

@ One More Thing. Warren Moore taught us how to light up a cow! Metal is way more complex than I thought, but Warren's presentation was great. #OMTConf @omt-conf.bsky.social #WWDC25
