@Skoop I do agree about doing things explicitly when it relates to business rules for example. But that’s often more about naming and separating variables/methods, rather than syntax.

I guess syntax is just something we all agree on and have to accept. As long as you use it in the way it was meant, it’s not really bad?

@Skoop Not sure if I agree… I think any change to the language’s syntax requires time to get used to. Just like you needed time to learn the language initially.

In one of your preferred examples you use `++` to increment a variable. Isn’t that just as implicit as some of the new things?

@markbattistella Awesome! Thanks so much šŸ™Œ I’ll buy and install the app tomorrow and give it a try šŸ™‚
@sdw Love it, looks amazing 🤩 If this is real, I’ll finally be enthusiastic about iOS’s design again after 12 sad (flat) years…
@markbattistella Cool, that would be nice! Especially with 'custom builds' in Expo it takes quite some time to test a new version in the iOS simulator. So the value from your tool may be even bigger for such apps.
@markbattistella Hey, does your app ā€œApp Icon Previewerā€ also support loading PNG files instead of an .appiconset? I’d like to use it for an Expo (React Native) app icon, which doesn’t use Xcode or .appiconset.
@jensimmons Nice! But I think being able to specify custom light/dark text colors is quite important for most use cases… Hope that can be added soon. (I read the discussion about it in the post.)

@rmondello Hey! You’re the person with most knowledge about password that I know 😊 I got an interesting case:

I show a username/password input in my web app that allows users to connect an external service. They should enter their credentials of the external service.

Is there any way to indicate to the browser that the credentials are not for my own site, and should thus not be auto-filled?

(I know this is not a good practice, but the external service simply requires this for their API…)

I'm glad somebody out there is brave enough to push back against the "personal ChatGPT usage is terrible for the environment" message https://andymasley.substack.com/p/a-cheat-sheet-for-conversations-about

"If you want to prompt ChatGPT 40 times, you can just stop your shower 1 second early."

"If I choose not to take a flight to Europe, I save 3,500,000 ChatGPT searches. this is like stopping more than 7 people from searching ChatGPT for their entire lives."

Using ChatGPT is not bad for the environment - a cheat sheet

The numbers clearly show this is a pointless distraction for the climate movement
