I really enjoyed the latest episode of Learning to Work. I only know Dan because of programming, but it was pretty amazing to hear about his day job.

What does it take to become an airline pilot? In the latest episode of Learning to Work, @danoleary.me talks about starting to fly at 14, surviving three engine failures, and what the job is really like after 26 years. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/so-you-want-to-be-a-pilot-dan-oleary-airline-pilot/id1877762409?i=1000761191053 https://open.spotify.com/episode/6E5EIS6G8kBoaqDZAj5Zfw?si=UvuoVtNBQSqrMdGpuincNQ

I spent a little time today on my multi-cursor library. Can now interoperate with other apps that use the multiple selection pasteboard support, like Xcode.

It sounds like the Bluesky’s team use of AI was not a factor in their downtime (a DDoS), but the appeal of that narrative was huge. So interesting as an outsider though!

Because AI is a form of delegation (IMO), studying the psychology of trust is going become pretty darn important.

I found this bug while trying to understand what on earth was happening in the recent post by @alexito4 . And I just have to share it because it is good.

https://github.com/swiftlang/swift/issues/88498

Incorrect warning about isolation with a pretty epic combination of conditions · Issue #88498 · swiftlang/swift

Description This one was pretty tricky to reduce. And it might seem kind of ridiculous at first glance. But the conditions here actually are not that rare for SwiftUI code. Ultimately, the compiler...

I know a lot of people have moved away from Github, but I've been working on an update of ActionStatus, my CCMenu-style helper for monitoring Github Action workflows.

There's a testflight up if you want to test/break it: https://testflight.apple.com/join/2EVFt38W

(FWIW the website is here, but doesn't have a lot more info on it at this point https://actionstatus.elegantchaos.com/)

I'm thinking I might add support for some other services (codeberg? something else?) depending on what people use and whether anyone cares 🙃

We all indulge in superficial criticism from time to time and that’s (mostly) fine.

But wow. Thoughtful, well-articulated, specific criticism is something else. And combine that with a willingness to understand and engage with the real tradeoffs? Five stars would argue again.

I was made redundant so I’m on the hunt for my next #iOS engineer role. I have over 15 years of experience and I’m based in London. Boosts much appreciated! #FediHire
