I was trying out the new Coding Assistant recently using ChatGPT. It didn't do the best job so I went in and changed most of the code around until I was happy with the result.

The one thing I didn't notice was it also decided to credit @nicklockwood for the work.

So uh, thanks?

You claim to have a device that can transcribe words as you think them, the accessibility implications of which are incredible, but you spend your whole presentation on this bullshit.

But I haven't been to Virginia since before Google was founded?

For years I've tried and failed to fix this bug in ShapeUp but today it has finally been squashed!

Concave corners now inset correctly and beautifully even with reflex angles! This is only in the dev build now but I'll get a new update out soon (with lots of other cool features for drawing shapes in SwiftUI)

Today's attempt to fix a bug by rebuilding concave corners did not go well.

There's an in person #WWDC25 event in Toronto on June 27th. Sign up now and I might see you there!

(lots of other cities seem to have similar events)

I started testing ChatGPT Codex and I'm not sure how to solve this issue. Every time it tries to compile it hits an error because it can't find SwiftUI (or another Apple Framework). Is there a way to get it to compile or if not, change the tests so it's not trying to?

Playing around with liquid glass on custom shapes. This is regular glass with a 10% pink tint.

You really need to have something in the background for the glass effect to look good.

The interactive highlight effect seems to be using a Capsule shape and not the provided shape so it looks a bit weird.

As the designer/developer of the Old English Wordhord, I often ask myself "What would medieval England do?"

Stained liquid glass.

It looked cool in the Dynamic Island but somehow it's different when buttons do it...
