Apple platform developers using AI do you still use SwiftLint and other checking tools? If so where/when do you use them? At one time if SwiftLint was commonly a pre-compile step in Xcode builds, or a pre-commit hook. #AI #iOSDev #AppleDev

Sad to see so many people now looking for work. Good luck to all of you! I certainly hope the Xbox division can pull itself out of the mismanaged dive that it's been in these pasted few years. https://t.co/2lbhwKx8oo

People often talk these days about the moment they were convinced AI was “real” and useful. I think it is but I just had a John Henry moment when I beat it coding threads in Swift. #ai #johnhenry

Wonder if Apple tests this stuff with senior citizens? The ’26 releases changed so many things that were accidentally discovered by my aged mother. She was not delighted #AppleDev #Accessibility

For many Apple users and fans the '26 OS's haven't been so great. Cross your fingers and say it with me... 🤞Snow Leopard!! 🤞🤞Snow Leopard!! 🤞🤞Snow Leopard!! 🤞 #Apple #WWDC #WWDC26

Why can iOS filter a user's "Me" card when you iterate over a contacts lists but macOS can not? You can set your "Me" card on macOS. what gives?

Gemini, What do you think of it for coding? I admit I've only been kicking it's tires via web sit but it's give me 3 straight dead wrong answers. Have I done it wrong? #AI #LLM #GeminiAI

[ Gary Ash @garyash_]

Will this be the week the new Xcode drops? Heard there’s a problem with Gemini AI maybe that’s the reason they haven’t pulled the trigger yet. #xcode #appledev #iosdev
