    Well that was a great keynote/SoTU. Not a single mention of sports, TV shows or other peripheral services — they got straight down to talking about the operating systems, and kept it there the whole time. I’m still working through the changes, but the changes look thoughtful and helpful! 🎉

    There’s still no DocumentGroupLaunchScene or DocumentLaunchView available for macOS. Classic Apple, it’ll be half a decade before this gets any attention (if ever) 😣 FB21329729

    Argh, you can’t resize the video to fill the window in the updated Developer app again. That’s a frustrating regression 🙈

    Stop being weird, you lot.

    macOS 27 developer beta 1 is really crisp. And smooth. I’m keen to see what the new Siri is like (I’m still on the wait list), but between Xcode 27 beta 1 and the OS, I could spend my time here.

    Personally, I think as with all things, the future will be a watered down (or more balanced if you want to be positive) version of the AI maximalist future that&#39;s being promoted. Yes, it&#39;ll be pervasive. Yes, it&#39;ll be transformative. It already is.

    Okay, I&#39;m back. In some fashion. I&#39;ve read, I&#39;ve pondered, I&#39;ve experimented, and will continue to do all three. I&#39;m clear enough now on a great many things that were worrying me about our profession and its future that my anxiety is at a very manageable level. I hope you&#39;re all doing amazing 🍃

    I thought I would try the AI support tools that @reveal&amp;#39;s support package uses for our site, thinking it&amp;#39;ll help to suggest articles from our knowledge base. Nope, it just flat out hallucinated an incorrect answer to a very direct question. That&amp;#39;s getting turned off.

    I was unaware that Aussie train stations still have a quaint little waiting room. It’s not air conditioned, the seats are metal, and it is definitely not comfortable, but it’s a total vibe.

    I have spent my career leaning on Apple&#39;s excellent design chops when building my own apps. Now they&#39;ve broken the design language of their operating systems so badly that it&#39;s not possible to build excellent, bug free user experiences. I&#39;ve lost a north star here, and it&#39;s heartbreaking because there&#39;s no real way for them to turn this around for a very long time.
