If you chase butterflies, they fly away. But if you create a beautiful garden, the butterflies will come. And if they don’t, you still have a beautiful garden.

Not surprisingly, after hyping a few products in my mind for the past year and finally getting them, I’m realizing there may have been some over-hyping. Time to get to know them for what they are, and not just what I imagined.

Trying out development from my iPhone Duo during my cross-country trip. Monitoring automated work on one side, browsing socials on the other. I don’t hate it 👍

[David Vision @DavidSights]

It’s far from a 1:1 match, but sometimes my Duo reminds me of the foldable from the 2014 movie titled Her.

When you’ve mastered a skill, a lot of criticism you receive shifts from objective improvements to a difference in priorities. You realize there are multiple ways to do things, with different groups preferring different directions, based on their personal values.

@dammiedammie35 That guy’s patience and kindness is going to land him an amazing partner. Good for him. If she can undergo the personal development to be a more humble and considerate person, she might be able to dodge dying alone. Hope things work out for both of them.

@dhh Honestly, I don’t blame them. While the world was complaining about the problems of Liquid Glass, I loved it. People are clearly divided on it. Making them decide what works for them eliminates a lot of frustration, right out the gate.

It was 2024 for me. Took a year to settle on a new lifestyle without a programmer salary. Another year out, I have several software projects in the works, with one nearing release (QA stage). Simultaneously a year into fatherhood. Glad I chose to make a change early.

I regret not quitting then

@crushkid Speaks to the sad truth that some people believe it should be clear as day that they are better than others ☀️

@chantastic What is he even doing? My 1 year old babies touch things more intelligently than that

[David Vision @DavidSights]

@LCUncens0red He turned into a man who stopped loving his wife. Sad when it happens. Should’ve been addressed way before getting to this point. You either work on repairing the relationship, or come clean about wanting something or someone else. Especially when kids are involved.

[David Vision @DavidSights]

No thanks. I’ll stick to testing on actual iOS devices. There’s something to feeling the app in your hands. Anything else is clearly not the same.

Mobile devs this one’s for you: test your apps directly on the MacBook Pro’s touchscreen!!!! 👆📲

@Ackermanlevi556 Really? He was a Jonas Brothers member. National heartthrob for a few years. No surprise when women want to fulfill that childhood fantasy. Question is, is it a good enough relationship to last beyond the honeymoon period of a fulfilled fantasy?

[David Vision @DavidSights]

@nathie Hah, I spot that Bionic stand! Overpriced and barely better than most thanks to quality materials, but damn do I love seeing it on my desk everyday. Got mine for less than half price in an apparent eBay estate sale. The savings was my only justification for such a pricey stand.

Ever find yourself deep diving into some internet drama that is completely inconsequential to your own life? Sometimes it’s hard to resist learning about how something went so wrong. Especially when the injustice makes no sense.

[David Vision @DavidSights]

@saralucijad Oh nevermind. It’s one of those follow and tag more people stunts. 🤢

[David Vision @DavidSights]

@saralucijad I’d make good use of one! Been planning to set up a home server to support apps I make for my family

[David Vision @DavidSights]

@HeyXinyang @ashen_one @OpenAIDevs Yup, most apps that involve typing work best on the closed front screen. While typing is possible on the bigger unfolded screen, it feels like typing on an iPad with your thumbs

[David Vision @DavidSights]

@ashen_one @thevrpill Haha what’s so sick about that. It’s a pretty standard UI implementation for Duo apps. Pretty much the same as the stock mail, messages, notes, and settings apps. Not some unique design for codex 🙄

[David Vision @DavidSights]

Some people can only see a thing for what it offers today, vs its potential. A lot of iPhone Duo reviews complain that apps are not optimized. That clearly won’t remain true after a few years. And it does not make the form factor less capable. https://t.co/8bb0SKGtv3

[David Vision @DavidSights]

I want the iphone duo because I like the form factor, and i know I can basically make it do anything, as an iOS dev. After watching all of the early review videos, i almost started to wonder if i had just bought into the hype. Had to reconsider if i really wanted it
