This is probably as much fun as I'm going to get out of this iOS api... #SwiftUI

Pro tip: If you want Codex to debug/enhance your iOS animations have it use FFmpeg to convert a screen recording of the animation to a sprite sheet it can analyze.

This also works if you want to 'decompile' an animation to code.

I'm now being asked a question that never came up before this year - "Is there still a manager career path? Should I go back to being an IC?"

[ben hylak @benhylak]

we built the first sane way to debug your agent locally.

you can see your traces. codex/claude code can too. this lets them write evals and test your agents automatically.

best part: it's completely free and open source. install with 1 line.

👋 I’m seeking a part-time PM internship for the summer. The PM role has changed a lot since I led product teams at Slack and Twitter, and I learn best by doing. Who needs an intern?

[Josh Pigford @Shpigford]

what are we calling the things you habitually do while waiting for LLMs to do their work?

[Nate de Jager @dejager]

Free idea: a simple Foundation Models app that finds and opens the iOS Settings menu you're looking for.

Even more broadly, something I'm hearing a lot of: with everyone doing everyone else's job, it's hard to know what your job is anymore.

I love being a designer everything is ugly

I just discovered a new way to handle path following!

Combined AnimatableData with the new keyframeAnimator to create a path follower that handles infinite loops and specific start/end progress points seamlessly.

For as amazing as coding agents are, they're contributing zilch to team culture.
