I gave Claude an ASO task, it worked for half an hour and burned 70% of my Pro account tokens Yes, it was Opus, yes it used MCP and CLIs, yes it had to work with 12 languages, yes it `ultrathought` But still... 70% of 5h usage is brutal

Creating software became so cheap that and people say open source is dead cause everyone can create something for their own. I see a different pattern lately: people create something with agents, open source it and other people can use it AND develop their own features in it too

Read a blogpost from OpenAI telling how they organized development around agents to not write code at all. Then switched to check Copilot blog and “for senior engineers” post explains how to talk to it about architecture and plan it

I've created a SwiftUI skill that helps agents audit your app or certain features against accessibility norms and WCAG (EU a11y guidelines). Just an audit, it wont change your code but will give you a list of potential issues and fix suggestions github.com/ramzesenok/i...

In the last 2 evenings I resurrected a project that I haven’t touched since 6 years: frontend, backend, iOS & Android apps. Put that all in one folder, updated all dependencies, removed features I long wanted to remove, did a massive refactor and covere while backend with tests. All using Codex

Cleaning the house (one of the few things I passionately hate) while AI does the coding (one of the few things I passionately enjoy) wasn’t on my bingo list even last year

Covered the capture LED on my Meta glasses for my toddler to not get distracted when I take a video of her and the glasses refuse to capture anything. Pity for my use case, very glad it’s a thing otherwise!

I released a small utility app that lets you launch files/folders/apps from the widget on your Mac apps.apple.com/app/id675826...

Man, Assassin's Creed Odyssey = Ghost of Tsushima but slightly more childish. Does scratch that itch of mine but it shows me how identical current AAA games are. Also kinda scratches the itch of, I'm sorry, Witcher 3 and even Skyrim

While migrating to Complete Concurrency I stumbled upon such an example and I’m not sure why there’s no isolation inside the property but there’s isolation inside the function. Anyone has any ideas?

Marketing my apps instead of gaming or at least coding so fucking sucks. This better work out or else!

Current status

Oh man, so worth it. Silksong is absolutely amazing!

Haven't used Claude models since GPT-5. Just used it again to review my code cause GPT wasn't eager to talk and man I missed a model being expressive! I hated it before and really liked GPT-5 cause it just did stuff but I guess it's just 2 extremums. What model is in between?

Y'all praising how great iPhone Air is. Try using your Pro phone in a case with a MagSafe cardholder for a day or two and then put both off. That's the same feeling you folks. Right there under your nose

That’s sad 😔 I used those promo codes a lot for my apps: for friends and family, for influencers, for unsatisfied users

Days since interchanged position of .scaleEffect and .offset modifiers in #SwiftUI took an hour of my life to find out: 0

As a foreigner in Austria I'm constantly reaching out to an online dictionary to find articles for the words. I always wished there was a fast way to check the word so I found a german words db and vibe-coded a simple app just for that. It's free, check it apps.apple.com/app/id675456...

‎German Article – Der, Die, Das

‎German Article is a simple menu-bar app that does one thing but does it good – tells you what article a given German word has. An irreplaceable tool for a foreigner learning German

One of the main motivations for me to have passive income or not work 9-5 is to spend time with my family and hobbies whenever I want. While I don't have that just yet, ability to prompt the agent and rock my daughter to sleep while it works is already a very solid step forward

Is there a way to get rid of Liquid Glass default shadow? Looks kinda dirty sometimes on a white background

I've tried Dia, I'm trying out Atlas but I don't get it. When I want human-like response I anyways go to ChatGPT. When I want concrete guide or forum discussion I go to Google. What's the point of having an AI browser apart from having both in 1 app which I still don't find cool

Are you folks using `.matchedTransitionSource`? For me it introduces so many UI glitches. Or am I holding it wrong?

Someone got the IAP for free during promotion 4 (!) years ago and today……. refunded it? I have 3 questions: 1. Why? 2. How come Apple allows to refund 4 years old purchases? 3. Why?

With all the vibecoding I started be a little afraid and hesitant to actually write code myself. I do enjoy building the product even if I'm not directly writing the code but I used to also love writing code. Now it feels inefficient

When doing ASO and updating keywords, how long are you waiting for some result? I imagine I won't get all greens/reds in a day or two but it's rather a long game where the trend is important, right? Or is there some catch? When do I understand if my new keywords were good or not?

I had 10 (ten!) messages with ChatGPT in Xcode and it says I'm over the limit and have to try in 24h. This feels like a trial of some sort, not an Xcode feature that Apple made

Is it passive aggression? Just say

I've updated to my apps for iOS 26. When submitting for review, do I put to release on 15th September or what? If so, what time?

We, devs, hate marketing cause we don’t understand it. Unlike programming. It’s frustrating to not know what you’re supposed to do. But once you start digging into it, once it clicks, it becomes no less (maybe a lil) fun cause you know ROI is worth it
