@thsottiaux Reconnecting MCP’s on the fly

@jmoretto9 @theo The Xcode MCP from Apple

@unclebobmartin @ariwez I bet the houses are built with a Clean Architecture! 😆

[Martijn van der Wal @martijn_vdwal]

@theo Yeah, bought a Mac mini a few days ago because Apple said pricing would be going up, had I not done that, that same configuration would be another +€300 with today’s price increase 😅

@thsottiaux When you stack multiple cards it looks awful 😫

[Martijn van der Wal @martijn_vdwal]

@PaulSolt I only checked briefly but I couldn’t see it.

There is a huge difference in the tools, Xcode 26.5 has around 25 tools, but Xcode 27 has somewhere in the 40’s!

But the documentation tool didn’t show up, and Claude couldn’t call it when I explicitly asked it.

[Martijn van der Wal @martijn_vdwal]

@bielakd @unclebobmartin @code_bytein Yeah okay, you could, but that would require another package dependency, at least for Swift

What advantage does a more information dense ID have for a local database?

[Martijn van der Wal @martijn_vdwal]

@unclebobmartin @code_bytein Interesting! For my mobile apps I have UUID’s for everything because it doesn’t require the domain to need the database before it has a stable and unique ID. The domain can just have a valid ID from the start, no optionals either.

How do you deal with that? 🤔

[Martijn van der Wal @martijn_vdwal]

@jacobtechtavern I love how iOS 26 will basically force apps to just have a native tab bar 😌

[Martijn van der Wal @martijn_vdwal]

@thsottiaux The way multiple cards don’t stack nicely, I really like the card design, but the stack is a bit awkward

[Martijn van der Wal @martijn_vdwal]

@9to5mac @apollozac Or just use @raycast 👀

[Martijn van der Wal @martijn_vdwal]

@jacobtechtavern Yeah I use YOLO mode often as well, I’ve tried auto, it works fine, but the big problem for me is that another model (I think it was sonnet) is assessing if it’s safe to run, which burns through more tokens and adds latency, so I don’t bother with that mode anymore 😅
