Hey are you riddled with anxiety? And have you made politics a core part of your identity? Well do I have the perfect feature for you
Took them a full year, but finally getting there
“Consistent corner radius” on macOS being the most important u-turn
Google has a legitimately good font in Roboto. And yet, the default font for Google Docs remains Arial.
I suppose typographic sadness is not a measurable KPI.
I’m worried AI coding will entrench existing frameworks/paradigms instead of advancing them. Functional reactive coding was a great leap for human productivity, but terrible for efficiency. Nobody asking what’s the next paradigm forward. Imagine if AI arrived during OOP’s heyday!
And sure, you can prompt to optimize your React usage, and the authors can do the same for React itself. But AI doesn’t feel how bad your latency is, or care how unacceptable it is to drop frames on our pocket supercomputers. The current state of “good enough” is absolutely not.
The best way for Apple to get its mojo back* is to have in-person WWDC again. Hearing bugs reports and feature requests straight from the customer’s mouth does a world of good, and Apple has long felt dehumanized.
*After shipping a competent LLM-based Siri replacement, of course
Turns out, the best productivity hack is having 2 children. Nothing levels up your focus like this.
Just 1 is a piece of cake, but 2 drops you into negative personal downtime, and an exponential increase of people management complexity and interruptions. Stretched in every way.
The fun part about Halloween in San Francisco is playing the game of “is that a costume or do they just dress like that?”
In either case, I’m here for it
We need an Anduril for healthcare
“In the year 2054, the entire defense budget will purchase just one tactical aircraft.”

“In the year 2054, your entire paycheck will go to health insurance premiums”
macOS 26 has absolutely tanked perf on my Intel MacBook Pro. Just moving a window drops frames. Safari hangs for 9 sec at every wake. It’s no better with the discrete GPU or reduce transparency.
Apple should have EOLed this machine from feature updates rather than releasing here
The amount of low-hanging fruit here is incredible
I am a proud capitalist
But any time I use Uber/Uber Eats, I totally get what they mean by “late-stage capitalism”
One more push notification to buckle my seat belt and I swear I’ll just walk to the airport
