What a fun app! I opened it up and just relived a hundred memories from a recent trip around the world. It’s crazy how lines on a map can feel so personal. Thanks @terhechte

I stopped doing iOS some years ago because Xcode + Apple's Buggy APIs made me a unhappy person.

I just released StepMaps, an app to see *all* your outdoor walks, runs & more on a map - grouped by city.

I wanted this app for years, but didn't are touch iOS again. I let Claude do it. I took care of the testing and feature prompting. I'm super happy with the outcome.

I gave a talk about the ACP protocol & Zed Editor at the Agentic coding meetup at MOIA in Hamburg yesterday. Here are the slides form the talk:

I've start to call Tim Cook "Smaug". As a reference to LOTR: It's a fitting name in that the roots of Apple's success were software development (the "dwarves"), and for a long time developers had a great standing (internally and externally). But then Tim "Smaug" Cook took over the Iron Mountain of Apple (the hoards of Gold). And boy does Tim like money. And anyone who dares wanting any of his money are thieves. Hence software developers are thieves for wanting to maybe pay a bit less than 30%.

I'd be happy to pay a $99 per year "additional" developer subscription so that I could run a macOS or Linux virtual machine on the iPad and do development work in there. That's it, use the already-existing virtualization framework.
Whenever I travel I have to lug the iPad and a Macbook around, and I'd just love to be able to just take the iPad.

The iPad came out 15 years ago and still it is impossible to use it for software development without resorting to kludges (e.g. run in Cloud, use limited playgrounds, be limited to languages like Python or C).

But hey we got a new UI that unnecessarily burns GPU cycles without any kind of functional benefit and at worst distracts attention away from the content.

This is what Apple should have build. Google build it.

Lightweight model that can run on device, understands audio, smarter than GPT4.1 nano.

By listening to long to the employees who hate AI or don't believe in LLMs Apple lost the edge of intelligence.

Thank you Claude. Deleting the file is certainly one way of getting rid of the errors lol.
