What does it take to become an airline pilot? In the latest episode of Learning to Work, Dan O'Leary talks about starting to fly at 14, surviving three engine failures, and what the job is really like after 26 years. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/so-… open.spotify.com/episode/6E5EIS…

I’m happy to announce winners of short story contest that I hosted to celebrate 2.0 release of Comprehend-Reading app. I think they’re very talented and creative people. comprehend-reading.com/writing-contest

I'm thoroughly enjoying reading entries for the short story contest I'm hosting. People are unique, incredibly creative and a little weird - in a good way. I'm really heartened to think about all this talent. Reminder of 3/15 deadline: x.com/VicDevPiano/st…

Here is a breakdown of topics we discussed

I recorded my first podcast episode. It’s called “Learning to Work“ I started it for young people and parents navigating careers in age of AI. @DonnyWals shares his origin story, core skills and his thoughts about AI and coding podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lea…

I'm hosting a short story writing contest. 4000 characters or less, any genre. $200 prizes across 3 reading levels. Free entry, AI tools welcome. Deadline March 15. comprehend-reading.com/writing-contest #WritingCommunity #writing #writers

I'm thrilled. I received my first story and it's good! I'm really looking forward to hearing more wonderfully creative stories!

I built Comprehend-Reading for parents and tutors working with struggling readers. AI-generated passages at any reading level, text-to-speech, comprehension quizzes. Free trial. apps.apple.com/us/app/compreh… #dyslexia #homeschool #education #readingcommunity

I haven't touched an iOS app w subscription for ages, am trying to release a minor change and noticed that I get error 23 when RevenueCat is fetching the product offerings. I went to AppStoreConnect and updated my paid apps agreement. Still error, m assuming propagation lag?

Because nothing else has changed since I tested this except Revenuecat SDK version is a year old and I didn't have outstanding new agreement form to sign.

What I don’t like about wealthy celebrity influencers selling stuff on sm is they’re selling aspirations to social dominance - look we r sisters who love each other - but they’re frolicking at tropical island with nobody else in sight. Selling the performative bragging.

I thought Squid Games finale was very beautifully done despite its flaws (VIPs and one bad CGI). The arc for the main character was the whole point of the series. Stunning visuals and powerful messages, dignity and tragedy of struggles of flawed people.

@SwiftDev_UI I think he might have been joking.

Everyone is saying that developers will be out of a job soon, idk about that. Even after all the code is written, for a website; who’s gonna deploy it? Ok maybe ai can help for that. For an app on Apple platforms? between all the little nuances you only learn from deploying an app yourself I think our jobs are safe for the next while.

@SwiftDev_UI Happy birthday!

Today, my personal version control hit a new milestone: v[myAge + 1]. Feels like a breaking change, but we’ll call it a feature update! 😅

@EMostaque What I’ve observed recently, probably not of interest to most people here, is attitude of lack of respect and sort of nihilism in some people

@EMostaque What do you think is going happen and what was your intention with open source. Whats your plan now? I think some people seemed to have had knowledge of something like coming soon recently.

Ngl kinda depressed thought it would be a couple more years before o3 levels & nobody is near lesson 😞 The bitterest lesson 😣 🪜 Anyway, looks like accelerate we must to the good leg of the trouser of time 🚀 👖

Tomorrow I will make myself soup

Why is restaurant food usually so bad. Not necessarily taste but how it makes u feel after

Whenever I order in, I regret it. Sometimes it’s so devoid of nutrients and so full of junk it makes me ill. I always forget when Im tired and succumb. I need ahjooma to make me vegan food, but wait that’s me. M not good but thankful 2my mom who took so much time, excellent cook
