Last month I was swept up in ForeFlight's massive layoffs. I wrote about my experiences with AI in software development, what I think this means for the future, and why I have concerns.

Last month I was swept up in ForeFlight

Pro #AI #Coding Tip: Describe the bug you're trying to solve, ask AI to add extra debug logs to help it troubleshoot, then tell the AI you will reproduce the issue and share the logs with it to help it solve the bug. My use case: I was trying to work with this intermittent issue that wasn't possible (or easy) to reproduce in an integration test. The AI kept making changes that just weren't correct and weren't solving the problem. Even with high thinking mode. After asking it to add debug logs and reproducing it, it solved it instantly. If AI coding isn't working for you, take a step back and ask yourself: what context is the AI missing to solve this?

Even tho I'm a huge #Apple fan. This is one of the most disappointing #WWDC events I can remember.

AI coding agents (GitHub Copilot Coding Agent, Codex, etc.) seem really bad at formatting code. It's the spaces vs tabs debate, remixed for the AI era.

I'm super excited to announce my latest #iPhone #application that I built. It's called #Echo for #Lemmy. It is an application for #Lemmy, which is a #decentralized social network for posting news, questions, and much more. It is very similar to #Reddit, but much more open and community-driven. Check it out today! #fediverse #activitypub #ios https://echo.rrainn.com/download/iphone

@AirportStatusBot now supports direct messages! Message the bot and ask it questions and it will reply with some useful information. This feature is in alpha, and still in active development. But wanted to ship it to get feedback. On a more technical note, NIP-17 I couldn't get to work at all with it (only supports NIP-04). Asked in the #nostr telegram and didn't get any replies. If anyone wants to take a look and help debug, let me know. But I think #nostr is on track to fail miserably if developers can't even figure out how to use non-deprecated standards after spending days on it.

If Craig Wright truly is Satoshi, why doesn't he actually prove it? Shouldn't it be incredibly easy to sign & submit a transaction from one of the first wallets? What is even his reasoning for not providing concrete proof or evidence? #bitcoin

I'm officially setting up my own #Bitcoin Node. We'll see how this goes. Currently 11.49% synchronized.

That #ForAllMankind finale was amazing (as always). Really hoping we get a season 5.

First patch to #Damus successfully merged! Thanks to @jb55 for getting this merged and reviewing it.

The fact that you can't remove a reaction to a post in #nostr is a huge drawback.

Does nostr even have any type of official icon/logo?

It's 2023, and Windows Home edition still doesn't support disk encryption.

What is your go to method for finding people to follow on #nostr?

Turns out it's near impossible to find Christmas Lights in the exact same color that I bought a few years ago. Of course they don't actually list the light temperature details on the packaging, because that'd be too easy. Great way to increase revenue for companies selling Christmas Lights, but such a scam.

So what exactly is the difference between snort.social & iris.to? They look basically identical. cc/ @Kieran & @Sirius

What is your favorite part of #nostr?
