Not me making an app for Duo on the way to buying one Friday with no reservation, finishing it while waiting for setup downloads on the Duo, and testing it here as soon as I got home. What a day!

SpinDuo is getting App Store review now, try it out on TestFlight here while we wait: https://t.co/kbcxnFgNWK

Hope you like it! 😅

@wholemars Sure, except the @Cybertruck IS autonomous capable, right? Or isn’t it?

[techsage @techSage]

@wholemars Probably was just the Model Y L 6-seater or maybe thinks the Robovan will satisfy people as a personally owned vehicle.

[techsage @techSage]

@Chris_Mayer @LamarMK Well, fire sales don’t always actually sell. I also predicted a lot of cancellations since so many sounded like they were doing it just in case they wanted them and just in case they could transfer FSD.

[techsage @techSage]

@wholemars They saw that they could’ve saved the Cybertruck at $60K like I said, but here we are instead. 🤷‍♂️

@MacRumors My mini record player app that plays @AppleMusic, @Spotify and @YouTube,@SpinDuoApp is missing waiting 10d for @Apple to approve it already. On TestFlight already though. Link in the post below.

I knew it! Sad to see Cybertruck go but hopeful for something similar (ORV with higher capacity) and maybe even better in the future (not a Robovan, sorry).

Hear me out: What if the $59k Tesla Cybertruck was just a clever way to discontinue it without saying ‘clearance on retooled overstock’? Would they lose less stripping of the premium parts than if they didn’t sell them at all? 🙂‍↕️

@Arnav333 @Apple Tried and writing works but then there was a graphical glitch until I pulled down the control center to start screen recording.

iPhone Duo + @Apple Pencil USB-C sizes

.@SpinDuoApp for iPhone / Duo now has @YouTube search, loads your playlists and a movable mini player on the outside/main screen so YouTube will not get mad and take it out. 😁

@Google just approved the app for letting you load your playlists - if you want.

Try it on free on @Apple TestFlight while we wait for them to approve it.

[techsage @techSage]

Coming soon to @SpinDuoApp for @iPhone (Duo): Search for just songs or any video on @YouTube, @AppleMusic or @Spotify instead of just browsing albums in your library and playlists. When you just need to see a song in vinyl on your mini Duo record player immediately. @Apple

It is interesting to see how little people value what developer hours are and their equivalent in AI coding credits now, but I shouldn't be shocked given how we were often viewed as lowly grunt workers over the years (at least in agencies). This reply got way more attention than I expected:

[techsage @techSage]

@XueJie32 @thsottiaux You're getting thousands of dollars of human developer "time" for $20/mo. If you're not using it that way, then maybe downgrade?

[techsage @techSage]

@SawyerMerritt Not bad: Get a free month of Tesla FSD when you use my referral link and I'll get one, too!:

[techsage @techSage]

@tesla_na All the people I got to get Tesla’s already got FSD cause I did it right! Where’s my prize? 😆

[techsage @techSage]

@KirbyStandUser @XueJie32 @thsottiaux I know and feel your pain. I had it for a year and I used it to make a small tool to help me queue things up over time. I still needed more usage for my timeline goals though.

[techsage @techSage]

@tcdlf_ @XueJie32 @thsottiaux I did use it for about a year before I realized I just needed Pro to remove the 5h limit. Sometimes you just have to pay for what you’re doing. $20 for thousands of human dev hours per month PT or $100 for more thousands per month FT might be a way to look at it.

[techsage @techSage]

@dank_stenty @XueJie32 @thsottiaux Not quite what I’m hearing from someone doing software agency engineering work with it. 🤷‍♂️ Burns quick they say.

[techsage @techSage]

@ajambrosino That was a long 6 weeks! I think it’s 10 now.

[techsage @techSage]

This was via phone number. Via email worked today and they even seem to have fixed the keyboard blocking the category choices on Duo today.

[techsage @techSage]

Impossible to create a new @X account right now by the way. Someone should check on that. 3 attempts across 2 devices is a bad look. And no it’s not just on Duo like I suspected.

[techsage @techSage]

@MostafaGBisher @XueJie32 @thsottiaux I do understand that side too. But if I tried to pay for all the devs (in addition to me) I’d need to get platforms and apps I’ve been dreaming of to get built I couldn’t afford it. So $100/mo for dreams is an opportunity for me not a roadblock. Ask me next year though. 😆
