If you've been wanting to switch to a new search engine but didn't want to pay $5/m, https://www.kagi.com will be releasing free accounts shortly:

Within the next week, anyone will be able to use Kagi Search with 50 free searches from the homepage – no sign up, and 100 more if they create a free account.

For context, I've used 140 searches this month

Kagi Search - A Premium Search Engine

Better search results with no ads. Welcome to Kagi (pronounced kah-gee), a paid search engine that gives power back to the user.

I keep writing iOS 26 on all my checks
First day off since mid-April. I’m proud of what we delivered for the developer community. Now to re-learn how to rest…

There’s still time to sign up for the WWDC Group Labs, streamed online! Don’t miss the UI Frameworks lab, Wed., 9am PDT. I’ll be joined by a panel of Apple engineers and leaders to discuss implementing the new design in your apps!

Annual reminder: A whole bunch of new API just shipped at #WWDC25, but it's early days – if you have suggestions for improvements, or find early bugs, please report them *now*. Filing feedback early maximizes the chance of your feedback being addressed before release.

Good morning! And a very merry WWDC to all who celebrate. It’s show time!

Seven years ago, I scarcely dared to dream that I would:

1️⃣Write code that runs hundreds of times per second on billions of devices
2️⃣Teach thousands of developers how to use new tools
3️⃣Build features to help engineers do socially important work
4️⃣Help to improve code quality across entire platforms
5️⃣Become an expert in low-level programming topics
6️⃣Write forum posts that changed the direction of multimillion-dollar efforts
7️⃣Take on a technical leadership role in an open source project
8️⃣Help people like me to see a future for themselves

What will your list look like if you join my team? https://hachyderm.io/@holly/114642792711239884
