My new SwiftUI book is finally out! 🎉

I wrote "The SwiftUI Way" for developers who feel like they are fighting the framework as their projects grow in complexity. The book will help you align your code with SwiftUI's internal expectations to avoid common pitfalls.

@natpanferova Looking forward to reading it and learning from it

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a crow it came up that she has never been sat on by a cat. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never been sat on by a cat.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on by a cat.

Have you ever been sat on by a cat?

Just rewatched Dreamworks' Sinbad, which I have only seen once as a kid. It's such a good movie! Beautifully animated. It should be up there with Titan A.E. and Treasure Planet.

Bennett, an American physicist at IBM Research, & Brassard, a Canadian computer scientist at the Université de Montréal, have collaborated over four decades incorporating quantum principles into computational models.

“Bennett and Brassard fundamentally changed our understanding of information itself,” said ACM President Yannis Ioannidis. “Their insights expanded the boundaries of computing and set in motion decades of discovery across disciplines.”

Join us in applauding their pioneering work!

how did the egyptians build the pyramids when they didn't even have an agentic ai workflow and dedicated mcp trained on pyramid documentation???
@patrickmcconnell I am like you, I enjoy programming and seeing the end result. Not going to have any AI do it for me.

@jjoelson I consider any LLM like a junior developer. It has the potential to grow but I won’t make the mistake of thinking it’s the best solution without checking

Just encountered someone uncritically posting a screenshot of an #LLM answer to explain a #SwiftUI bug we were seeing, and it suggested a significantly disruptive workaround.

Turns out its diagnosis was completely wrong, and actual human SwiftUI experts found a very simple solution to the problem in 5 minutes.

I'm sure there are lots of people out there leveraging LLMs responsibly, but imo this is a seriously dangerous tool for non-experts who can't critically evaluate the answers.
