@andyzoom01 Apple has released a whole bunch of new agent skills for the 27 releases; I need time to use the APIs, use their skills, and speak to the Apple folks about them to understand the rationale before I'm able to speak usefully about them. It's not something I'm happy to rush into 🙂

For HWS+ subscribers: Every new file gets the same default header comment, but Xcode has a flexible customisation system with built-in macros for filenames, project names, and more. https://www.hackingwithswift.com/plus/learn-something-new/personalizing-your-xcode-header
Personalizing your Xcode header – Hacking with Swift+

We make new files in Xcode all the time, but if you spend just a few minutes you can customize the comments that are automatically placed at the start to make them suit you much better.

I compiled a list of the best deals on a load of gadgets, most of which I've used and reviewed myself.

Sometimes 64 bits just isn't enough, which is why Swift also support Int128 and UInt128. The evolution proposal itself admits the API is "uninteresting" - but those are very, very big numbers. https://www.hackingwithswift.com/swift/6.0/int128
128-bit Integer Types – available from Swift 6.0
