1/3 GitHub flipped Copilot training data collection from opt-in to opt-out. That's not a privacy policy. That's a reversal disguised as a setting.

The 'no Xcode needed' part is the real unlock. Xcode has always been the steepest entry tax for Swift. Vibe coding removes the toolchain friction and lets the logic come first. The IDE becomes optional.

Wendy allows you to write Swift for a variety of embedded devices. Jetson & Raspberry Pi - and even microcontrollers!

Swift 6.3 has landed! 🚀 This release brings community-driven Android support into the official toolchain, along with major improvements to C interoperability, the build system, and embedded Swift. Read more: www.swift.org/blog/swift-6... #AndroidDev #iOSDev

I recently released sequins.dev, to have all the Observability signals you expect like logs, metrics, traces, and profiles, but as a macOS app which you can use for local dev. It's also completely free and open source. Give it a try, and let me know if there's any features you want!

Ghostmoon.app [pre-release] I created a macOS utility app called Ghostmoon. It lives in the macOS menu bar and gives you easy access to hidden system settings, essential stats, maintenance routines and other functionalities useful in everyday work. #macOS #menubar #prerelease #IndieApp #Mac #Swift

The joy of C++ interoperability with Swift.

Every tool I see has to pass a debate before I touch it. Not a quick scan. Agents trained on my roadmap, arguing for and against. I sit in judgment. This is not caution. It is governance.

Hot take: half of LLM use for code editing is safe refactorings that intellij was able to do ages ago, but primarily just in Java, and never quite reached this level in other languages... For better or worse, we now can, but with lots of $$$ burnt each time you do huh

To counter balance my previous agents tweet about source code editing. In having a load of success outsourcing simple tasks and fix up's to agents and aid in research of codebases or problems. Also "try these 20things to reproduce, minimize a reproducer" and stuff like that.

This made me genuinely happy. An AI agent gets dramatically more accurate when you tell it: debate what you're unsure about, and stumbling is ok. We build tech like we raise children. Tech meetings should start talking about love in their stack.

AI can write working code, but can it build a working system? Why engineering discipline still matters. by Miguel Ramos www.linkedin.com/pulse/illus...

The Illusion of "Working" Code: Why Engineering Matters More Than Ever

We are witnessing a fascinating democratization of software development. At lightning speed, LLMs can produce functional code, turning anyone into a creator.

From reviews, sounds like the MacBook Neo is a great little laptop. It has been a while since I’ve thought an Apple product actually followed that “a thousand no’s for every yes” video from WWDC a decade ago… This laptop makes the right trade-offs.

I've just released SwiftCrossUI v0.2.0 (two and a half years after v0.1.0), and I'm aiming to begin making regular releases now that I'm focusing on SwiftCrossUI full time. 492 commits, 127 PRs, and 77k changed lines. github.com/moreSwift/sw...
