I built obsidian-mind over the past month without seeing any of this, arrived at almost the same architecture independently. Convergence is real. :)
Three layers (raw knowledge, LLM-maintained wiki, schema via CLAUDE.md), QMD for search, index files, lint passes via /vault-audit, obsidian as the IDE. all there.

I built the most advanced IDE for iPad that has ever come. It's basically Xcode for iPad.
It implements its own Swift interpreter, allowing iOS and visionOS to run code and SwiftUI apps (with UIKit support).
It is even faster than SwiftUI Previews on macOS.
More to show soon. Will be able to replace the Mac for many developers and allow developers that didn't have access to developer tools this advanced to now build whatever they want.
If you are maintainer of a Swift Package and would like to analyze and lint your package's graph, you might want to check out this new open source tool by the team at GetYourGuide

Today, the GetYourGuide iOS team released: https://t.co/4qUqHzfY8Q
It helps you visualize, run selective tests, and lint Swift Package Manager dependency graphs.
Give it a go, we hope it's helpful for you too!

4 hours ago, the Swift team released the `swift-subprocess` package 📦
Swift was always designed to be a general-purpose language, and that includes scripting. Today, however, writing a Swift script is an enormous pain compared to a regular bash script, because it isn't designed to run other processes. The Process API exists, but is verbose and terrible, even for simple jobs.
By importing the Subprocess package, our Swift scripts can call into other CLI tools like git, ls, ffmpeg, or curl naturally, with full access to modern async/await.

Screenshot #2 - the verbose, old-school Process API
Screenshot #3 - the brand-new subprocess package

Xcode developers, rejoice! Claude account support is now enabled, adding to the existing support for ChatGPT (now including GPT-5). This changes how I write code, liberating me to focus on the fun parts! Check it out in Xcode 26 beta 7.

@florianpeninon@camsoft2000@jsedlacekjr True, but snapshot tests and controllable dependencies on the view allow you to have “unit tests” of the view and cover that it looks correct for all permutations of view state, etc. The more expensive & flaky UITests can be used for interactions and the integration of layers.
Don't just accept what AI suggests. Ask why. 🤔

Gen AI for software development is the biggest jump up in abstraction since assembler to HLLs, but also a jump sideways.

@vatsal_manot On that I’m 💯with you. The Apple’s development ecosystem is ages behind and if it wasn’t for the amazing community we would be lost. We have to hold them accountable way more than we do! Thank you for being a big force on that!
This is one of the developers who made TypeScript 10x faster. And he just got laid off by Microsoft.
There will be countless stories like his - of engineers who went above and beyond, shipped game-changing features, improved dev experience for millions…..and still found themselves out of a job.
This week, @Microsoft laid off around 6,000 employees, roughly 3% of its global workforce.
Not because they underperformed. Not because they didn’t deliver.
But because AI just got “good enough” to justify replacing thousands overnight.
The takeaway?
A bitter reminder that no matter how hard you work or how much impact you create, companies will always do what’s best for the business.
So let’s do what’s best for us too.
Build your network. Keep your options open. Protect your peace.
Because loyalty is admirable, but so is self-preservation.
No one else is going to look out for your career like you will.
Do I know anyone looking for a project to build up experience in Swift on the Server? We could use some hands for @rocketsim_app’s backend!
Vapor, MySQL, Swift Testing, and lots of exciting features coming up!
@pepicrft That's the dream! There are several alternatives available besides `Foundation.FileManager`, so I hope they can consolidate it into a single cross-platform Package.
This one is cross-platform but tied to the SPM ecosystem and deprecated:
