Took a break from coding & wondered: “Can I return?”
YES I’m proof! Back building iOS apps after a big gap 🔥
What’s a real everyday frustration a simple iOS app could fix for you?
Pet care? Health?Remote work chaos? Other?
Ideas 👇❤️

@elonmusk@JOBhakdi Appreciate the candor. Better to under-promise early volume than disappoint on deliveries again.
April 2026 start + 5× efficiency target still sounds like the right kind of crazy.
@dmuthuk Many are still treating AI like a better search engine or faster typist.
The real edge is shifting to "systems thinker + agent orchestrator" — designing workflows that run themselves instead of just using tools.
Everyone is optimizing their AI coding setup for speed.Wrong bottleneck.
The bottleneck was never how fast you generate code. It's how fast you can verify the code is correct.
Speed without verification is just faster technical debt production.
What's your verification bottleneck
@elonmusk The Galileo test is brutal because it forces the model to choose between predictive text compression and actual correspondence to reality. Most systems are still heavily optimised for the former.
@elonmusk Stories like this always hit different. Makes you think—what 'impossible' thing are we accepting today that future generations will look back on and wonder why we didn't fight harder?
@elonmusk Fair point on common culture being essential, but why single out English-Scots-Irish as the origin worth fighting for? German, Italian, Asian immigrants all helped forge what we call 'American' today. Isn't the magic how that core adapted and expanded while staying recognizably?
@paulg Thanks for this one, Paul. Feels like the natural sequel to 'Maker's Schedule'. The next decade is going to sort people not by who can code fastest, but by who can feel what's missing before anyone else does.
@milan_milanovic Every time I see 'engineers haven't written code in months' I think: cool story.
Who’s:
- Deciding the architecture?
- Handling edge cases Claude misses?
- Debugging the 3 AM outage when the AI-generated retry logic deadlocks?
Interviewer:
Your SwiftUI view updates smoothly in previews and on device in dark mode, but switches to light mode and the whole list flickers/re-renders 20 times on scroll. Identical code. Why?
When a massive bug/feature feels overwhelming:
Don’t stare at the whole thing.
Break it into the smallest possible steps:
• Reproduce
• Isolate component
• Log one value
• Test one edge case
Nail the tiny wins → the big problem crumbles.
Works every time.

@azamsharp Congratulations, Mohammad! 🎉
Finishing a full book like that—especially one diving deep into SwiftUI architecture after three whole years—is seriously impressive.
@dev_maims Clean code isn't 'more time'.
It's discipline.
The devs who ship fastest long-term are usually the ones who refuse to create massive cleanup debt in the first place.
@elonmusk@DOGE DOGE really is a state of mind now 🔥
Finally treating taxpayer money with the seriousness it deserves. That 10 GB Medicaid claims dataset drop is massive. Thank you Elon + team
@Prathkum 100% this.
Every 5–7 years someone declares “developers are finished” because of new thing.
Reality: the people who learn to wield the new thing brutally efficiently just eat everyone else’s lunch.
Tools don’t replace builders — they replace the builders who refuse new tools.
