When you have to pay a subscription ($99/yr) to install apps you wrote yourself on a computer you bought, into a phone you bought, it kinda of makes you feel like you don't actually own the things you bought. #iosdev

I Started Programming When I Was 7. I'm 50 Now, and the Thing I Loved Has Changed | James Randall

I still love developing but the shifts that AI have brought are tectonic and are forcing me to re-evaluate my own relationship to building things

@mikepenz I've been thinking about writing a streamlined kmp "about this app" screen, and just realized I want to use 2 of your libs: AboutLibraries and multiplatform-markdown-renderer. Thanks for publishing those!

Everyone's obsessed about how many Xs (1x? 10X? .4X?) they can get out of an AI engineer, but by far the biggest impact devs can make to a timeline is by adjusting requirements to make a feature easier or even skipping facets altogether.

AFAIK, AI never says "what you're asking for is ridiculous."
