With Apple, you can't repair it yourself, but Apple will repair it for much longer than 5 years.

Not even Fairphone can repair your phone if it's out of parts.

They're the ones out here asking for us to try it.

The magic of distillation!

Ex-PagerDuty here. Without weighing in on the criticisms of pricing and innovation with the product, I will say that the value of PagerDuty is its reliability in notifying you when it receives a signal from a system. Rebuilding the product isn't just asking an LLM to spit out a web app to do scheduling, it's in the notification pipeline (SMS, email, push notifications, Slack), maintaining all that and mobile apps too.

Just like Uber itself, this is one of those "I could replace this in a weekend" things that doesn't actually pan out that way.

16 MB RAM required, 32 MB RAM recommended... how refreshing! Great work.

Cursor Remote Agents are important to our AI orchestration layer. It's possible that Claude can do this directly but Cursor Remote Agents made this laughably easy.

You can get any Uber driver to do it for you if you offer to buy them food too and do it off the books.

He is, but he's also describing reality.

I just got a Docusign and it didn't work in Firefox, I had to use Chrome. That's a huge blow right there. (I sent negative feedback about this to Docusign.)

>There'll probably be a startup tomorrow that digests user input and boils out the noise to provide a robust enough signal to guide some monitoring agent, and it'll help some cases, and train us to be even worse at others.

This sounds like Enterpret.

Come on now, you're going to need Xcode at some point during development.

It does.

By default on a Mac, "smart quotes" is enabled that turns "" into “”. I don't think that's a sign of an LLM. I believe Microsoft Word on all platforms does this too.

Swift doesn't use a garbage collector.

This is the course I used online to learn Objective-C and UIKit to make iOS applications, and now I am a Staff iOS Engineer. Nice to see him still doing this.

It doesn't matter what Steve Jobs would or wouldn't do, Tim Cook took Apple to a $3T company and that's where we are.

Another Forbes 30 under 30!

You don't need this library, it's just an `AlertDialog` wrapper with a check in `SharedPreferences`. It's not particularly well-written.

Referencing Marc Benioff making bold claims about AI isn't much evidence, he's pulling these numbers out of thin air. Despite claiming they won't hire software engineers in 2025, there are plenty of positions open at Salesforce for software engineers.

When did this guy stop writing about engineering and start running a tech gossip rag?

Nice to see PagerDuty mentioned here. I was on the mobile team at PagerDury that battled to get the entitlement to use Critical Notifications in the app. We were refused multiple times before we got the entitlement.

Who would want to work on this thing? It hasn't been a standard part of Windows for at least a decade.

It's been argued a lot that such a move would cause a good portion of American billionaires to just pack up and move to another country. Rich people are mobile in a way that poor people are not.

BuddyBuild was acquired by Apple and used for their server CI platform, almost immediately cutting off Android support. That was a shame because it was a great platform for Android builds.

“Shoot that guy” “Ok”

Super valuable stuff.

I was reading this on my iPhone 11 Pro and my phone was turning warm in my hand. My music kept stopping and starting again. Eventually I had to kill the browser.

I am sorry this is happening to the authors. Maybe it’s related to the scumminess of their blog, maybe it isn’t.

Having the passwords in the cloud is useful though. Before, if you wanted to use your vault across multiple machines, you had to store your vault in someone else’s cloud. This simplifies the process.
