Fading in… and fading out with CSS transitions
Fading in… and fading out with CSS transitions
Jesus. A lot of code editors are so horny for AI now that it’s not even clear how to make it all go away if you want to.
I’ll always use and have BBEdit it in my dock, but if it had better syntax highlighting and auto-indenting as I type, I’d use it for everything. Those might seem like small things, but they come up so much every time I code that those two quality of life issues really add up.
This is freaking me out and why I turned off all AI assistance.
There are things I wrote just three or four years ago without any AI assistance that looking at now, I wonder how I did it without help.
Nope nope nope. Don’t like that.
When you use AI to program, it gives you an answer tailored to your code. You don’t need to understand or learn much for it to work. When you research on your own, you have to synthesize what you find into a solution for your codebase, and you can’t do that without understanding at least a little.
Can’t believe it’s 2025 and new products that come with USB-C to USB-A cables instead of USB-C on both ends.
I find the “normal people can’t tell” to be a bit offensive to the non-technical. You think if you showed this photo of CG Tarkin next to Peter Cushing to someone asked which is real they’d have no idea? If they say they can’t it’s probably because they’re trying to get out of the conversation.
I set up instructions for Copilot to confirm it’s got the MCP server connected and using my project when it starts, and to never write code for me, but to talk to me and answer questions. I much prefer this de-vibed version.
I am pruning and organizing my Safari bookmarks. Is this a waste of time? Probably.
I’m sure there are other minimal-JavaScript frameworks or things that are better than Stimulus, but I am getting pretty good at creating composable controllers, and I think that’s pretty neat.
My hot take: Image Playground sucks, Genmoji is pretty good.
I currently have one small iOS/macOS app, a small-medium sized one, and a larger project which also involves a Rails app I want to design and finish. Should keep my free time occupied for a while.
A nice thing when Apple refreshes its design language is that, in the beginning at least, you can just use the standard controls and have it look cool and fresh. #iOSDev
I’m doing pretty well with YNAB so far. Having fixed expenses in their own bank account was a great idea, too. I should be able to start funding some of next month’s expenses when I get paid tomorrow, which is much better than I had been doing. My immediate goal is to be funding 30 days in advance.
Trying to get into the sport of precision pistol shooting. It turns out it is pretty difficult to hit the middle of a target one-handed from 50 plus feet away.
Has anyone experimented with integrating AppIntents as a sort of core part of their SwiftUI apps architecture? It seems like it could be an interesting idea at least for manipulating data? AddItemIntent().perform()?
I know how I would define the difference, but I’m curious for others — how would you explain the difference between a View Model in MVVM and a Controller in MVC?
Kind of nuts, I can’t use SwiftUI’s TextEditor for something as simple as basic syntax highlighting. It’s easy enough to pull in NSTextView, but still, it’s surprising how not-powerful the text editing abilities of SwiftUI are.
I don’t understand how people drive fancy cars. I got a Subaru Outback, which is nice but not fancy, and the payment is $701 a month with only 2.5% interest. I wanted all of the fancy safety features, and that’s been worth it, but after this, I’m never buying a new car again.
Don’t get shingles. It’s the worst thing.
Have about 15 rolls of film to scan 😅
I’m playing with the NextStep emulator at infinitemac.org. This must have felt like it was sent from the future in the 90s. This really feels like early Mac OS X with a different UI, and that UI is kind of awesome.
All this talk of Swift NSCache replacements makes me want to make my own, even though there are seemingly multiple good ones 🤣
I’ve been doing a really good job at work lately, and also figuring out my financial stuff to be more sustainable. Feeling good about life in general.
I’m a little nervous getting rid of my credit card, but I think it’s probably silly. I have great credit. If I really needed money fast, I could get a short term loan for a way lower percentage, or worst case, another card pretty much overnight.
