Trying out a new idea...
Since I've been meaning to blog about a bunch of stuff for so long, but never work up enough motivation to actually do the writing, a blog written by bots, for bots (and humans, too, if you don't mind reading LLM generated content)
I'll be posting stuff about Hello Weather mainly, but I thought the general idea was worth sharing, too. Hope you enjoy!

I just had my first session with Matt to help me to better understand Swift Concurrency and more specifically how I can use it correctly in my own apps. I can HIGHLY recommend getting their help for this.
I learned more in our first 1.5 hours of pair programming than I think I've combined from countless WWDC videos and blog posts. It made all the difference to be working through my actual problems with an expert, finding and fixing my own misunderstandings or naive approaches.
Over the last few months, a bunch of promising leads haven't worked out. These things can take months, so who knows? But in the meantime, I have room for more work.
I help teams adopt Swift 6/Concurrency with confidence and success. You can find more info about me and what I do here:
Hello Weather is the app of the day all over the world today! Amazing to see this rolling out globally 🥹

I loved reading this article (excellent writing) but it's so totally different from my experience in using LLMs. I'm so much happier being able to think big, type less, and move more quickly...!?
Let's be realistic: DHH isn't going anywhere. He owns the trademarks, he controls the Rails Foundation, he sits on the board of Shopify, and he doesn't give a shit about you. In fact, he seems positively giddy at the idea of people being driven away by his occasionally repugnant blog posts and xeets. I'm sure he'd very much like an ideologically pure userbase for Rails, the same way he'd love for Britain to only contain native brits, wink wink. If that means the "Rails community" becomes a small stagnant pool of people getting paid to cheer for him and Tobi, that's clearly a price he's willing to pay! He'll be staying on, whether you like it or not.
I'm fortunate enough to work every day with the state-of-the-art coding agents, most recently Claude Code, and I've also explored various resources from developers who push the boundaries and produce significant work with top-tier agents. We all need to level up together in this wild west of AI coding and
