Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 reimagined as an episode of The Twilight Zone, in 4:3 black and white, of course (-:

It’s no secret I’ve been working on some sort of music app for iOS, but I’m making it official.
Say hello to Groove. A local-first music player for people who love music. Coming soon!
Most importantly, full credit for the name Groove goes to @davidbures
I'm still fairly suspect of anyone who claims they're building full apps with AI. I ask Claude fairly basic questions that can easily be answered by looking at the Apple Developer docs & it still invents solutions more times than I'd be happy with.
That said, I'm find it useful in criticizing my own code base & then I fix it myself. It has a solid hit rate at spotting problems (it seems to lose context & doesn't get some things are just fine). It's just less reliable at offering solutions
There’s lots of people saying they’re producing a decent app with AI. Okay, but producing v1 is always easy. Imo that’s why some devs love always jumping to new things. You can do all that easy stuff over and over, writing libraries for a new language and more importantly you don’t have to read as much code or learn how to integrate functionality into it.
Let’s see where these people are after 5 years of AI development. I think that will be the real test.
“In a report released in January, Anthropic researchers found that software engineers working with a new software library saw a small, statistically insignificant boost in speed when they solved a task with the aid of AI compared with a control group working without AI assistance. When the coders were quizzed about the software library after the task, however, the group given AI assistance scored 17 percent lower than the AI-free group.”

This is the type of clarity in approaching this topic and the people surrounding the industry that I wish was practiced by most tech writers and popular tech podcasts.
