All the artificial intelligence in the world isn't enough to make a desktop app that doesn't do this 🤦♂️

💻 I used to make software, now I dictate text in text fields.
From 'slop' to 'Chappii,' how AI terminology became universal across languages and cultures in 2025.

Matt MassicotteThere are two types of code: morse and remorse
It's baffling how neither Anthropic nor OpenAI offer a public API to access your chats made through their official clients. This would allow all kind of cool context management workflows.
Made a quick fact sheet for Apple's on-device large language models so you don't have to.
My takeaway is this: If you're building something using AI under the hood, ask yourself why someone would bother creating an account, getting familiar with the UI, and changing their habits if they can make a workflow in n8n or Make that will get the job done then notify them in the channels they are already using and familiar with (email, Slack, Discord, etc.).
If you don't have a clear answer to this question, AI automation tools are coming for your niche.
I only spent a couple of weekends playing with #n8n and I'm already convinced that most utilitarian AI apps out there can be replaced with a couple of workflows that even people who've never coded can put together.
Here is a market watch bot for Discord I whipped together last week. Just a couple of months ago, I was considering making it a full-fledged mobile app, but that proposition is no longer tempting given the amount of extra work involved with no clear gain.
Writing to share what worked for me when using coding agents for debugging, or you know, *vibe debugging* 🙈
TL;DR With the right approach, it works and it's quite effective.
My IDE usage from last week. Cursor as main driver, Xcode for previews and tests for iOS/macOS apps, Zed for one-off file edits, and VS Code mostly for editor extension development.
