I build opinionated dev tools that help Apple developers ship smoothly, from first commit to final release.

Did you know that if you open Terminal and type `defaults write https://t.co/awTP55BSDy.dt.Xcode ShowBuildOperationDuration YES`, then Xcode will say how long your project took to build, rather than just saying what the time was last time it compiled?

[Steffen Finsland @starv]

@emin_builds Smooth scrolling, tho 👌

[Steffen Finsland @starv]

@emin_ui It counts your git commits. Also looking at using code lines changed.

[Steffen Finsland @starv]

I'm a coder at heart, and I'm happiest when I feel productive. So I'm making a little app to tell me how I'm doing.

[Steffen Finsland @starv]

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for me to build another app!
I'm only going to reveal the app icon for now. Can you guess what it is for?

[Steffen Finsland @starv]

The RC of Xcode 26 has a handy new checkbox!✅

[Steffen Finsland @starv]

[Steffen Finsland @starv]

@willccbb You're lucky. You still have 4.5 ❤️

[Steffen Finsland @starv]

@emin_ui Oh wow, you did it! Congrats!🎉
This is a new era for sure!🏡

The places where Codex and Claude Code does the best are in those of my projects that use the most complex architecture patterns.

Those architectures we developers love to hate, where you need to add a ton of boilerplate for the smallest feature - that’s where it really shines!

@FloWritesCode I spent around 10 minutes staring blankly at this earlier today. I still have 40 left!

@danshipper Someone should turn it into a sticker.

@illyism @ahrefs This checks out. You may have forgotten a step or two, but it looks about right to me!

Trying *so* hard to be Alex, but often feeling like Steve.

@sergeynazarovx My wife has a checklist:
- does it have lasers?
- spaceships?
- someone with «powers»?

If it does, she falls asleep.

@FloWritesCode @xmarioapps 100%
It’s just taking a little longer than grindfluencers like to have you believe.

[Steffen Finsland @starv]

@signulll This is the real Apple tax.

[Steffen Finsland @starv]

I’ve had the word «MRR» muted for years. Today I added «on autopilot».

[Steffen Finsland @starv]

@adamc0dez Whenever I do that I get around 0.

@amikalash Mostly they are lying to get engagement.
