The past couple of months, I’ve been building infrastructure on Scaleway. As someone who has dabbled in AWS, I’m pleasantly surprised at how straightforward Scaleway is while still offering a large catalog of services that play well together.

It’s not on par with AWS in the number of offerings, but AWS is so overwhelming that I tend to consider that a good thing.

If you’re looking for an EU-based alternative to something like AWS, then Scaleway might be it. I think it is for me.

I find it odd that iOS and Mac builds of the same app, submitted at the same time, aren’t reviewed by Apple consecutively. This is especially true for new apps. App Review works in mysterious ways.

One down, one to go. Now I just need Apple to review the Mac version.

In related news, this just happened.

brrr was rejected Wednesday and resubmitted 30 minutes later. That build is still waiting for review four days later. App review is too darn slow right now.

Hopper's MCP in something like Codex is *killer*. I can ask it things like, 'what private API could I use to make a UIKit window dockable on visionOS', and it will just figure it out from the disassembly, same way I would — just a lot faster.

Its solution matches the one I reverse-engineered myself a while back (https://github.com/steventroughtonsmith/VisionImmersiveDockableUIKit/blob/main/VisionImmersiveDockableUIKit/Source/Application/VVUDockableWindowScene.swift)

OMG, @khaost is my hero. They posted about this Apple Watch repair dock which allowed for direct connection debugging in Xcode. Just got mine in the mail and it 100% works. For the first time in my 11 years of active watchOS development that I can reliably/quickly step through code running on device.

It is a bit pricing and does feel a little bit sketchy in terms not being officially supported but I don't care…it will save me huge amounts of time and gray hairs to not doing it wirelessly.
