Gotta admit those @masseffect scapes are epic and lush #MassEffectAndromeda

People complain about App Store review times but I'm sat here 5 days in waiting for Google Play to approve an update!

We have clever tech right? Why do git worktrees make copies of the files and not just cleverly save the files that changes from the original? Like you don’t need a bit-level copy of everything. APFS can do this github.com/dannolan/git-work…

I definitely need an app to sync all my Twitter bookmarks to so I have another place I can not go to to catch up on my bookmarks.

I'm a big fan of running a lean business but, even when we were at $2,000 MRR, we still paid for managed services because we wanted 100% of our focus to be on our product. I'd do the same thing if I was starting today. Protect your mental bandwidth and focus on what matters.

If you make iOS apps, the App Store Connect app on iOS makes some cute animated videos for socials for updates.

Wondering if @SunriseDevTeam could get to work on reviving Anthem next…

End of an Era. The Mass Effect games were so much fun to play. Shame, as with so many things, that there won't be another.

When did iOS add Apple Watch mirroring?!

I’m not sure why on @cursor_ai agent window it won’t show me all the files changed in a chat window, I can see last turn or uncommitted. But that doesn’t help when I may run a linter or edit something else out of the chat thread. @leerob or am I missing something

It’s cool hearing about people being @bot for coding tools but I’d like to see more screenshots. Being used to the @cursor_ai agent window, it’s hard to envision looking it up to a codebase.

Grok code thinking for 92s…should I be worried.

Did a bunch of old Twitter branding leak back to no X the everything app? I feel like there’s a ton more blue lately

How do I find the Instagram that’s still just cool photos from my friends?

It is wild how different replies on Twitter are in the last 24 hrs. Anecdotally. Amazing how much unpleasantness seemingly can be attributed to bot farms.

Had a chat with ChatGPT via CarPlay the other day. Not sure I like the natural speech patterns; the fake pauses for thought. I don’t need a real sounding voice. I need an authoritative voice like you’re reading aloud. Maybe it’s just me.

Was inspecting why some parts of our CI took a while, noticed every stage that invokes UseDotNet@2 was downloading a fresh zip of dotnet, rather than using the built-in image version. A quick checkForExistingVersion flag later, and its shaving 90s (9%) of runtime. Across

Thats about 22 invocations, saving 30s each across all our pipelines. Check your defaults folks.

Looking for a decent iPhone 18 pro case…

Not sure if its Grok or @cursor_ai but any time I start a new chat on a rails app, it does this and then starts checking for ruby paths. Every time. And it usually ends up stuck.

Threw some tokens at my old Jekyll blog that was running on jquery and bourbon, hadn’t had any love in years, and had it migrate it over to vitepress. Warm build time dropped 88%. Which will be great if I ever update it.
