SwiftScotland 2026 (That is to say, there have been frequent #Swift sightings in Scotland this week)

it is difficult to be a caretaker and entrepreneur. i do it because it’s all i know how to do. because it’s the only way i know forward. because the alternative, giving up, is devastating. there’s periods of pure surviving, and there’s slightly better days, but it’s never the freedom from before.

For @mothership.blog, I talked to over a dozen caretakers about the reality of being a caretaker while working in games. The short of it? It's *very* difficult. Here's a glimpse of the current experience, its consequences, and coveted standardized practices: www.mothership.blog/the-games-in...

Excited with my Dundee coffee haul!

“If I take a screenshot of your app at any moment, you should be able to explain what I see.” When developing both games and apps, I constantly screen record little videos to analyse transitions and figure out timing bugs etc. daringfireball.net/linked/2026/... Via @gruber.foo / @tonsky.me

I can't believe how much use I'm getting out of this little side project I built it as a silly experiment but I'm using it ALL THE TIME now ☀️☀️☀️🔥🔥🔥

Woah taking a screenshot in iOS 27 lets you translate the screen contents. Game changer!

They tell me I’m uncultured, but I’ll always recognise a bit of Beethoven.

WIP feature of our next game, presented entirely out of context (it's been surprisingly fun to build tho)

Just spent a couple of hours with Affinity to do some logo work for our next inkle thing and… yeah it's pretty damn good! Still need to try it for bitmap / Photoshop style work, but I'm impressed. And I like the way they've rolled Photoshop / Illustrator / InDesign tools into one app.

Amused by Siri Beta's inability to understand my British accent (and culture) because it's set to the US. Me: Remind me to eat the pitta for lunch tomorrow Siri: did you say pizza or Peter??? Me: pitta Siri: okay, added "eat Peter" to your reminders for tomorrow

Well, after months of work What's My Set is finally out today. It's the workout app I always wanted and I honestly love using it. I hope some other people do as well! apps.apple.com/us/app/whats...

What's My Set watch interface with the set and exercise counts as well as 1 minute and 2 minute rest timer buttons.

As storage and RAM prices skyrocket and make powerful PCs and consoles feel increasingly out of reach, there's only one real option: Everyone go back to 2D

Super excited to release Substage 1.0 today! It's a HUGE update. 🖋️ Blog post: joethephish.me/blog/substag... Substage is a little Mac app that puts a command bar underneath your Finder windows, allowing you to manipulate files and more, by converting your requests to Terminal commands.

Excited about a big update to Substage coming out tomorrow!

Vibe coded websites are my new turn off 😫 Or more fairly: websites that are *styled* that way (tho TBH probably actually are) Don't want to name and shame but: * dark background * single pixel outline around round rects * too much nesting * arbitrary pseudo stylish italic serif font for header

Met Jimmy Wales. Highlight of my day! He's a Good Egg.

Got my son analysing choose your own adventure books. It's a slippery slope from here 😏

Jet lagged 2:30am thought: "Vertical slice" has always been a flawed concept, and the clue was in the name the whole time: you can't have a slice until you've baked the whole damn cake.
