Founders, let’s talk about our AI journey of using AI for development.

@sherifgjini Building iOS apps since 2010.

The developers who are getting the most out of AI tools aren’t the ones using AI to build everything from scratch. They’re experienced people who know exactly what they want and are using AI to get there faster.

@mscode07 Re-launched my old ExtraMile app that tracks your mileage and driving pattern after a few years. Things have really changed how we code.

@sherifgjini Re-launched my ExtraMile app - a mileage and drive tracking app after two years and boy world of programming has changed!

@KaiXCreator You can create code with Claude but can't create your audience with Claude. Single most profitable skill to have is to reach your audience.

Back after two years. Rebuilt my mileage tracking app from scratch, shipped it, and finally updated my bio. Feels like a good time to be here again. Building @ExtraMileApp and WalkBuddy - follow along.

Here I tell you, you can do it yourself:

Almost all of my apps provide notifications that not only launch the app but also navigate to different parts of the app. Today, I want to share how I build deep links for local notifications in my apps.

Google just introduced ScreenAI, and it's wild.

This is going to transform the future of UX forever

@emergetools @Fidelity Nice ad and great chopping of Fidelity app! Yes, it doesn’t make sense for a financial app to be that big that fetches all its data from network calls.

100% Cancer Remission: Groundbreaking Study

A groundbreaking study has achieved a 100% cancer remission rate in all patients through a monoclonal antibody trial, as reported by Moffitt Cancer Center. This innovative approach to cancer treatment has shown remarkable results, eliminating the need for chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, or the toxic side effects associated with these traditional therapies.

This is Scott Wu.

10 days ago, he launched "Devin", the first-ever AI software engineer & it's insane.

It took the tech world by surprise.

Here are 7 most-shocking things Devin can do:

@thejuan @ios_dev_alb Yes same here

@ios_dev_alb SwiftUI, no need to add tech debt where the code will need to be re-written in a year

[Lily @designalily]

I recently interviewed at Eight Sleep and it was the most demanding take home I've ever had. Their brief: "Create an in-app experience for a new product, integrating the existing app and flagship product." Even linked their design system and font family to use.

I want to clarify why I think the labor dynamics in tech are beyond fucked

Everyone wants to hire a an amazing engineer or salesman, but they've been out of production since March 2020.

Most of these layoffs and "firings for performance" people are young laptop americans. It makes sense. Spending the majority of your career doing zoom and slack robs you of proper monkey see monkey do learning.

The best periods of my 6 years in ML were spent in the lab or irl with leaders on a daily basis. Most of my corporate life has been zoom and slack. There is absolutely no behavioral learning going on in these environments. It's just camera on, show time

That's not to say I'm anti-remote work, I just think its toxic for early career development.

I heard this idea first from one of the founders of a previous employer. It's clear industry leadership knows this is a problem.

We always talk about how far behind students fell in math during covid. But do we just assume the fallout ends at 12th grade? Realistically the most important learning is early career development.

The only people I know who have had normal career development in this time are people who worked irl, most notably the trades or really big companies. They work under the supervision of an experienced superior who wants them to succeed and grow.

Most of the managers of young laptop americans are only a few years older. They mostly became managers during the covid expansion. They're just as insecure about not knowing how to do their job. They can't lead, they cant nurture, they cant establish development milestones. Especially through zoom!

Crafting talent is an art form that hasn't been handed down to them. But tech talent is fairly commodified now. "Why build when you can buy?" so they play a game of cronyism or panning for gold, trying to find talent to manage.

But the problem is I don't see that problem resolving itself. Especially not with the current glut of workers accustomed to working from the poolside.

Simply, the overseas tech workforce has gotten stronger while we have fallen behind. Most of them have not been wfh for the past 4 years.

On top of that LLMs have basically automated tech work first -- the economic incentive to replace high paid employees is obvious. Tech jobs like writing documentation, commenting code, light debugging, reviewing PRs, and automated QA testing are almost completely exposed to replacement in the next 5 years.

It would be one thing if we were all in this together, but the market dynamics make me think it's a lost cause.
