My 🏀Basketball-Widget-App has a release out that makes sure the app runs smoothly on the newest iOS version, go check it out! :) https://t.co/RDce6w1JNf

Texting is really nice on the Duo

2.5 years in the frame of my new cube-bike broke. This is not supposed to happen, right? My older bike’s frame is atill holding strong after 24 years now

[Matthias Zarzecki @matthias_code]

Sure Google Autocorrect, go for it

[Matthias Zarzecki @matthias_code]

@philprimes Oh sweet, I need to try this!

[Matthias Zarzecki @matthias_code]

How close to zero do you type in your two-factor auth code? I am pretty comfortable now at 3 or 4 seconds

[Matthias Zarzecki @matthias_code]

@WolfyBlair @nextappdevcon Yeah probably. Stupid though the entire website is effectively defunct then

[Matthias Zarzecki @matthias_code]

This flyer for a Pico VR Space Dev hackathon/competition was handed out at @NextAppDevCon, and now, just a few days
later, the website requires a password.

What is going on here? Did they vibecode the website and it already stopped working?

Xcode 27.2's Device Hub can now fake memory pressure, slow-motion animations, a shake, and a fall.

Tonight in #iOSDev: Visiting the Ampli AI Meetup & Talks at the lovely @N26 Offices in Berlin tonight! Who else is here? :D

[Matthias Zarzecki @matthias_code]

Love when a sunrise gets purple 💜

[Matthias Zarzecki @matthias_code]

Today in #FlutterDev: Love the new guard-pattern! But now we have another thing that shares a name with an iOS element, but has an entirely different functionality 😯

[Matthias Zarzecki @matthias_code]

@PICOXR, help!

[Sarun W. @sarunw]

Add .contentTransition(.numericText()) to a Text, and numbers roll to their new value instead of jumping.

[Matthias Zarzecki @matthias_code]

@atkntepe Getting blank faces whenever I bring up this isn’t sustainable, especially if wr want to have new seniors in the future

[Sarun W. @sarunw]

A stepped SwiftUI `Slider` finally shows its steps on iOS 26.

When you use `step: 1`, SwiftUI adds a tick mark for every possible value. You don't need to draw them yourself.

@pvncher @rms80 Bane of my existence is people using high-quality placeholder art (or slop art now) when building something, not realizing this is hurting their project

[eric provencher @pvncher]

A lot of folks getting into game dev with ai don’t know this but, you really need to make sure your game is fun without a bunch of fancy art.

Llms make it too easy to build visually rich levels with no real gameplay. That’s backwards!

Found something funny when reading Tailscale code.

They use a Cyrillic letter "ж" (reads as "zh") for the variable which shouldn't be exposed to callers and mutated. This is an artificial barrier for human devs that should raise concerns when trying to type it.

Apparently it looks like an asterisk meaning it's a pointer. But for me it's a familiar letter which I didn't expect to see in the code and was like Ж? WAT?
Yeah, you can use unicode letters in Go code if you want.

I now really want to use something like that in my code because I bet it'll make me smile every time I see it
