JFC, working on legacy projects with CocoaPods and GitLabCI just sucked the last little bit of joy out of my soul today. Claude finally helped me solve it, but man… #CocoaPods cannot die soon enough.

LLMs turn your job into mostly code review, a task everyone famously loves to do and is good at

Hi there,

I'm looking for a good recipe manager for macOS or in a browser with a focus on meal planning.

I tried Crouton, but although the recipe import is really good, the UI and the UX are so broken that I will export everything again, which of course is also painfully difficult.

I'm back at Paprika but its interface feels and looks extremely outdated.

I appreciate every recommendation, especially for indie apps.

Tim Cook sold Apple's soul

Apple used to stand for something. Now Tim Cook gifts golden statues to Trump, removes apps at the administration's request, and cozies up to accused rapists at White House screenings. The company I once admired has become morally bankrupt, but leaving the ecosystem feels almost impossible.

- YouTube Premium cancelled
- First steps towards moving email accounts away from Google and Microsoft
- Audible cancelled, subscribed to Bookbeat
- Installed Mistral Vibe to test if it's a valid alternative to Claude Code.

Baby steps, but steps nonetheless.

Also the Gorillaz are coming back. Always had a sweat spot for Damon Alban. Maybe one of the most talented musicians of our generation.
