Swift was a fun language to dive back into compared to C++ because it has all of the hallmarks of a modern language.

How Claude Code helped me modernize, unit test, and revive my 25-year-old legacy C++ code for a Swift project.

@cloclodma It’s not by default, but if one wants their agentic AI to avoid anti-patterns, they can set which design patterns, coding standards, or best practices to follow.

Often, what becomes unreadable was “readable enough” in the beginning. Maintenance mindset (barring YAGNI) is key.

@Tech_girlll Learn to read code and understand it enough to debug it, because you’ll be doing a lot of both.

As for writing code, you’ll eventually learn how stable, maintainable, testable code should look like.

When you master those, you may have something to offer that others don’t.

Runner up is XBill on Linux: stop Bill from installing “Wingdows” on all of the computers, “A virus so powerful that it has the power to transmute an ordinary computer into a toaster oven”.

@RealProductGirl A macOS snippet manager that can do AI-powered text transformations, that works both as a standalone app or an XCode extension.

My native syntax highlighting engine is based on a highlighter I wrote 25 years ago.

All of this just to get back into Swift, after 10 years absence.

@kevindotcar @codewithpri It may feel very productive to write in Perl, but as far as reading Perl, Python has it beat IMO.

There’s a reason people joke about it being a write-only language.

And then there’s JAPH obfu, which Perl hackers pride themselves in. Impractical but creative and genius.

@CyberRacheal I’ve lost count how many times I custom compiled the kernel, installed the bootloader or hand-written config files in the 2000s, before I went to mac.

I wouldn’t trade that time back, but nowadays, my time is best spent building things, not struggling to get the basics working.

@elonmusk If you ask for a very shallow answer to a nuanced topic, you will get what you wanted: to race-bait for engagement.

A more fair prompt would be: “What is the history of the term “white pride”? What is the history of the term “black pride”? Why do they hold different meanings?”

@IamAroke And while Linux programs can be compiled and run on macOS with things like macports and homebrew, the reverse is often not possible.

Most macOS apps people run are in the GUI, and macOS has a much different graphics server, kernel aside.

Linux binaries are ELF and macOS Mach-O.

[d.velo.pr @dev_velo]

@IamAroke Linux is POSIX (UNIX-like), and macOS has been UNIX certified since Leopard (2007).

@trikcode And reading header files when you can’t find docs or working examples.

It took years for me to trust AI for coding in production with a million+ lines C++ codebase (outside of Tab completion and unit tests). Here’s why.

@alexbunardzic Agreed. A well-written test tells a lot more about the purpose and accuracy of the code than the code itself.
