Apple announced it will celebrate its 50th anniversary over the next few weeks, “reflecting on the company’s history and values”.

Interestingly, Tim Cook doesn’t mention values in the letter he posted. When I search the page for “values”, I find in small type at the bottom Apple’s values, which list “Inclusion and diversity” and “Racial equity and justice”.

Might be a good time for Cook to reflect on who he’s associating with, supporting, and empowering.

I just posted what I think may be the final TestFlight build of Oughtyo, my audiobook player app for iOS. I’m extremely proud of what I’ve accomplished since I began working on it last summer. I hope to have it on the App Store soon - a dream I’ve had since the App Store first launched. I’m so excited!

If you haven’t tried out Oughtyo yet, there’s still time! You can join the TestFlight beta from my website. #iosdev #apps #ios #apple #audiobooks #booktok

@johnvoorhees Hi John! Longtime reader, first time caller :) I’ve been working hard on my first iOS app - an audiobook player, called Oughtyo.

I’d love to add you to the TestFlight to get your feedback on it!

More interestingly, I’ve done this app ENTIRELY through vibe-coding with Cursor. 0 lines of code were written by me. But, I spent a lot of time making it to ensure it adhered to good iOS design principles and usability. If you’re interested, I’d love to talk further on this via email!

Oughtyo TestFlight users - I know the build expires tomorrow and I’ll be sure to push another ASAP. Hopefully tomorrow! But I’m traveling home from abroad at the moment so depending on the exact time the build expires tomorrow, there might be a small gap in availability. Sorry about that!

Wish humans had a console log to read. Why am I not feeling good? What part of my body is erroring out? Let’s check the logs and see.

Yeah….as a recovering Vikings fan, this seems about right. Cut our starting QB and he wins the Super Bowl the very next season. Solid stuff right there.

We’re almost certainly witnessing the first shots fired in the second American civil war.
