Woke up to see @delta is now the #1 app in the entire App Store!! In less than 12 hours!!!

I feel like I’m dreaming 🥹

Imagine if every time you looked up anything in the Yellow Pages or encyclopedia, there was this big section at the top of the page called "Notes from Gary" where some guy named Gary who seems to know about 20% less than the average person just sorta gets to say whatever he wants about the subject, no matter how irrelevant it is.

This is what it's like to use Google now.

The first #VisionOS sample project I opened has a view model and big fat @State memory leak in the first file I looked at 😭

Then I looked at ContentView and it has a var instead of a let 😱 I guess these Apple devs are new to Swift.

Quality software deserves your hard‑earned cash

WatchOS 10 is the least satisfied I've been with Apple in a while. It feels like everything became harder to use, and the replacements if they exist are worse.

Not being able to access recently used apps at all, not being able to swipe to get to other watch faces, and changing the gesture for control centre have made it feel like an update has gone backwards for the first time.

Getting used to gestures on the iPhone XS took a few hours. I've had this update for weeks now and it still jars.

Who needs Unity? I present: Flappy Bird in MacOS Finder.

When I do anything involving entering or modifying text on my phone, I feel like I’m wearing boxing gloves. It feels so much worse than doing the same task on my Mac, both practically and emotionally.
