Officially introducing my latest venture: Build Notes! Build Notes serves as a sort of founder's journal for me, documenting my thought processes on the what and how for products I build, the decisions I make, and my analysis of the industry at large

@ParkerOrtolani This is also why I always do trade-ins in person, I've never not gotten full trade in value

@ParkerOrtolani Last one I got was when the scan of my 16 Pro Max caught the chip in the titanium, but the worker "couldn't see it" so they gave me an override for the full trade in value Best day

you feel like you have super powers when you get a manager override in an Apple Store

@ParkerOrtolani It's a requirement: you walk out of the Apple Store with the new Mac, and you immediately have to go to a coffee shop

already seeing people at the coffee shop with neos

@mweinbach I don't dislike the UI directions here, I think it looks nice, and I'm interested to see where it goes But there's a lot to be said about the utility of the VSCode fork

@mweinbach Backend, frontend, agent, plan/browser/file, dual terminals, GitHub/Sweetpad/Figma/etc. extensions The Codex-style editor can't do this at this point And if it did...there wouldn't be a whole ton of reason to go that route instead of refreshing the UI of the VSCode fork

Time to try Cursor Glass

@theo if (turboModeIsOn) { basePrompt.append(“gotta go fast”) }

Can someone smarter than me explain how these “turbo mode” things work on like an implementation level? Are they using better GPUs? More GPUs? Reserved allocation during generation?

@BrandonWaselnuk I’ve been yelled at by enough product teams to always make sure I’m getting their arbitrary capitalization correct

The winning strategy to get anyone who’s ever worked at GitHub to expose themselves “Github” (even my iPhone tried to correct that)

Idk what improvements have been made to it, but the way @diabrowser writes is the best I've used as of late I think it strikes a great balance between being serious and getting the joke Where ChatGPT is trying too hard to be friendly and Claude is just matter–of–fact it's a great balance I really need Dia mobile so I can have it everywhere

@zollotech This is so valid, I curse every day I spend working on a Windows computer

Makes Sense.

@mweinbach Well you better fix it

I have a very upset dog who won’t stop trying to save her broken toy

oh…. oh no

@DylanMcD8 A18 Pro, Mr. Squidward. A18 Pro.

Me when A19 is faster than A18 

is this gpt-5.4 leaking it's reasoning trace?

@mweinbach A no holds barred MacBook would be awesome

Hell ya We need more low-volume ultra premium stuff on the market. I hope we see it on the iPhone, Mac, etc. Something should be accessible to everyone, but there's also an itch for just more which the more accessible pro devices haven't scratched recently

@mweinbach Also "plugging things in" outside of a charger and maybe a display are, quite honestly, assuming more than this is really designed for Like maybe a thumb drive The kind of person to plug in 2–3 high res/refresh displays or a dock would be better served with Air/Pro than Neo

A18 Pro likely has a single USB 3.0 controller because… that makes sense That would explain why it’s limited to a single port. I don’t think this will be a huge deal, but may be confusing if you plug a display into the USB 2 port. I’m sure there’s a pop up letting you know

@ParkerOrtolani I was just thinking this, it's a killer combo for the price of a Pro iPhone

pink Neo and pink 17e gonna be a vvvveeeerrrryyyy popular combo
