NetNewsWire - NetNewsWire 7.0 for iOS
NetNewsWire 7 for iOS 26 and up is available now on the App Store! This version adopts Liquid Glass — and we think it’s a better looking version of NetNewsWire. We think even people who aren’t fans of Liquid Glass will agree with us. 🐣 Credit goes to Stuart Breckenridge for the design and implementation. Wonderful work! Check out the screenshots. This version also fixes some small bugs and adds some small performance enhancements.
jwz@gknauss @Migueldeicaza I have a better solution to the problem of reading Twitter threads and it it this:
Utterly disregarding the thoughts of anyone who is still choosing to use Twitter in this, The Year of our Dystopia Two Thousand Twenty Six.
Anyone who is still making that decision is not worthy of my attention. I do not care what they have to say. They have disqualified themselves utterly.

Chip UnicornOne coworker -- who I'll call Xavier -- does everything through LLMs. He's the kind of developer that managers who have never been programmers adore: 3000 lines of code per day.
I just realized that Xavier cannot read code, even code that he submits for review. He "understands" code by running it against test files and seeing whether results are reasonable. He can only say what the code does, not what causes it to behave in a way.
But that has several problems. An obvious first issue is that if a problem doesn't show up in the test file, then it will never be fixed. A less obvious issue is that his code is brittle and it generalizes very poorly.
Because Xavier doesn't read code, he has a very tough time imagining "What might go wrong?" And because he relies on the LLM, he misses very broad solutions, like using well-established libraries that solve dozens of problems at once.
Programmers who dive deep are still very, very useful.
Ole BegemannOne more thought on `git mv`: it’s very useful when changing the case of a filename on a case-insensitive file system (which is the default on macOS). https://oleb.net/2025/git-mv-case-change/ To prevent the filenames recorded in Git and the file system from diverging.

@ianbetteridge I know this was a rhetorical question but the answer is: because their VC-brained executives long ago abandoned the nonprofit's mission of stewarding the open web, and instead pivoted to trying to make "products" that will be beloved by advertising companies. (And utterly failed at that anyway, just a truly spectacular faceplant.)
