It was two in the morning, the hour when even the bravest samurai retires to his bedroll, yet here, a fortress of light beckoned me from the darkness.
Every castle I have ever known has fallen. Fire, siege, taxes. Eight hundred years of my family learning one lesson: nothing stays open forever.
This house has never closed.
Not for storms. Not for holidays. Not for the hour when even the moon looks tired. I asked the waitress when they lock the doors.
"We don't have locks, hon."
No locks. I own walls, moats, and a sword older than this country, and I have never once said anything that powerful.
Inside, a cook was scraping the grill at 2 a.m. with the calm of a man guarding something. I asked if he was the night watch.
"I'm Darnell."
A trucker two stools down raised his coffee. "Place stayed open during the hurricane," he said. "FEMA's got a whole index about it."
An index. The government of this nation measures disasters by whether THIS HOUSE is still standing. In Japan, we measured a clan's strength by its castle. Same thing. Theirs serves waffles.
I ordered. I ate. I confess what happened next.
I did not want to leave. The night outside was large. The booth was warm. I am a grown warrior, and I sat in a yellow fortress at 3 a.m. feeling protected by hash browns.
A castle does not promise to stand forever. It simply leaves the lights on.
I drive past at night now. Just to check. The lights are always on.
Sentries of the griddle — I see you. Hold the line.
This was one of the dopest things I've ever made, and to this day I haven't seen another app use the custom tools API in PencilKit. I'm sure they are out there, it's such a cool way to use Apple Pencil.
I used Xcode 27 and Codex/Claude to vibe code a native macOS app that turns any SQLite database, including CoreData, SwiftData and SQLiteData stores, into a clean, interactive entity-relationship diagram you can rearrange and export.

Before you start work on your next Big App Idea, take a moment to check how hard it is to rank on the App Store for your top keywords – it takes just a minute!
Some facts can be proven just using the software, some need a debugger, and some other by using a scope.
I received the ADP3450 yesterday. I've been since then, trying to understand the software that controls it. I am prepping to record a course on the Low Speed Communications protocol - UART, I2C and SPI. These are very commonly used in embedded systems development.
Yes, there are other protocols - CAN, I3C, Ethernet, USB etc. We'll deal with those later.
The upcoming course on Low Speed Communication Protocols will be added to the Library Access (https://t.co/cd7nNWgK5T).
Our goal with Library Access is to great a repository of topics that every embedded systems engineer would need to learn/refer.
Will keep you posted on the updates.
App Store Connect CLI 1.7.0 is out!
Big one for Windows: `winget install asc` is now available!
Also: screenshot upload guardrails and Xcode export timeout fixes.

@MakeAugusta We did a talk together at VCF SoCal in 2024 talking about how smart decisions in architecture of the Atari systems paved the way for new peripherals today: https://t.co/2jtVC8yyFy
How are circuit boards made? After 8 years, this video continues to be a widely used reference for people all over the world, ranging from university classes to engineering teams inside of Apple. We even gave a prison warden permission to use it in an offline library of videos for inmates to learn new skills!
We’re bringing Xogot, our styled version of Godot, to macOS.
Xogot for Mac brings a native Mac experience, Xcode-inspired project navigation, and easier deployment to Mac, iPhone, iPad, and the iOS Simulator without the usual friction.
The beta is open today:
