@marcoarment 1. How was Phish NYE? Set seemed incredible.

2. Have you checked out King Gizzard yet? The discography is a bit daunting and it won’t all be your jam but I bet you’ll dig a bunch.

Looks aside, iOS 26 is almost unusably laggy/jittery and buggy. I’m using an iPhone 15 Pro but still.

(It also looks awful, to be clear)

Something truly is rotten in the state of Cupertino. If software quality continues trending this way, and there’s no reason to think it won’t, it’ll be hard not to root for OpenAI to mercifully give us something better.

Still haven’t upgraded to iOS 26.

Should I?

@gruber Approx. how many emails and mentions did you get informing you that dark mode icons are not new in iOS 26?

👋 I'm hiring a senior iOS engineer to work on Link at Stripe. This is a very new, very small team with an outsized opportunity to impact the Internet economy: https://stripe.com/jobs/listing/ios-engineer-link/7051918

Happy to answer questions if interested!

iOS Engineer, Link

Help increase the GDP of the internet as part of our Payments team.

It took Amazon twelve years from when they bought Goodreads to add the ability to easily buy the books that you want to read. Truly incredible.
To me, the main thing Apple needed to fix this WWDC was their relationship with developers, and this keynote suggests they think otherwise.

Hell of a line by @chockenberry: “It feels like developers are now part of the supply chain and being optimized accordingly.”

The most obvious flaw in Apple’s scaremongering re: web payments is that people already manually enter credit card numbers into App Store apps in order to purchase physical goods!

If there was meaningful risk of fraud due to people incorrectly assuming that these card numbers were being securely handled by Apple, wouldn’t it be showing up here already?
