I’m moving off of this site in the coming days. I plan to be more active over here now: bsky.app/profile/a1cook…

The main conclusion from looking at the Xcode benchmark results seems to be that Xcode and the Swift compiler are getting slower faster than Macs are getting faster. github.com/devMEremenko/X…

@chrysb We’ve been through the same hoop 6-7 times this year alone, it gets onerous over time

It’s crazy that one overly strict Apple reviewer can halt app updates for something trivial that’s been approved dozens of times before

Thinking about the @Sonos situation as a customer I’m truly disappointed about the leadership team that allowed the release.However I’ve huge sympathy for the engineering team/s who likely knew it wasn’t ready and said so but weren’t listened to.There is a lesson there somewhere

@Luas Stephen’s green headed south

@a1cooke Hi Alan, from what stop are you travelling from and in what direction? - Sarah

Something up with @Luas green line? Huge amount of people at the platform and no sign of trams

@Shauns_Aviation Don’t mean to be pedantic but it’s not a CyberAttack - hashtag you are using. It was a bug in an update that was released via Crowdstrike

Here is a current aviation situation update on the IT outage: ——— Airports ——— • Ibiza - Arrivals Regulated • Heathrow - Arrivals Regulated • Gatwick - Arrivals Regulated • Edinburgh - Aerodrome not Available • Schiphol - Previously Not available, now open with Arrival Regulations • Zurich - Arrivals Regulated Other airports are facing issues, this is a worldwide issue, the listed airports are Major airports with regulations imposed. ——— Airspace ——— • Sevilla - Moderate delays • Geneva - Moderate to High delays • Zurich - High delays All airspaces are still open, but the amount of aircraft permitted at one time can be reduced. ——— Airlines ——— Most airlines have resorted to manual checkin procedures, this is causing the majority of delays as it is a timely process. Many airlines have requested passengers to arrive earlier than usual to avoid delays while checking in. Ryanair’s advice for Dublin Airport passengers is to arrive 3 hours early, instead of the usual 2 hours. ——————— I will update further if required, safe travels to anyone travelling today✈️ ——————— #Microsoft #Microsoft365 #CyberAttack #Crowdstrike #aviation #Dublinairport #Dublin #it #Delays #EUROCONTROL #airlines #Travel #ITOutage

I wrote a thing about how we release the @UnfoldHQ app. It’s been a while since I wrote anything. Hope you enjoy it and can take away that keep at your process improvement can result in great outcomes engineering.squarespace.com/blog/2024/unfo…

@VirginMediaIE is there an issue with broadband in D18?

Buzzing to see @UnfoldHQ in the keynote of #WWDC looked great in iPhone mirror mode 🎉

We are looking for a Snr PM to join the @UnfoldHQ team in Dublin if you know anyone interested send them my way squarespace.com/careers/jobs/5… #product #jobs #hiring

@danielinoa_ @WildCat_io @steipete @saurabhg Because a monopoly simply doesn’t care, they aren’t incentivized to make xib, storyboards etc as open standards, imagine if Jetbrains could have made Appcode fully work, refactoring that just works… such a pipe dream

@WildCat_io @steipete @saurabhg Can you please elaborate on how monopoly is linked to bad dev experience?

Sharing assets efficiently on iOS is still unreasonably hard, and purely a tooling problem. emergetools.com/blog/posts/mak…

Just had a pushy @SSE person knock at the door, selling to switch plans, starting the conversation with "I see you were a former customer", not sure how you have that data but it's inaccurate, have never been a customer of yours and certainly don't plan to now

@krzyzanowskim I found can do universal control using USB-C cable, might defeat the purpose a little but it’s now the only way I will use the feature

Q: What should I do to make Universal Control work between Mac and iPad? sometimes it work, but then suddenly stop and not even reboot everything make it work again. support.apple.com/en-us/102459

Best was to experience a big game #MatchDaySorted

Old iOS Project not working with Instruments, Xcode keeps injecting get-task-allow as false. Manual signing using @FastlaneTools match and no obvious reason for it not working. Any thoughts on how to debug further? #ios #whyyounowork @twostraws @twannl

As a Director at Amazon, I repeatedly saw that big tech career incentives basically guarantee cycles of too much growth, and then layoffs. I just had someone email me, and say that they're worried about their career as a development manager. 🧵

@thepaulwilliams I really do think it's people being frustrated with the inconsistent application of the TMO when it comes to things like high hits. As an Ireland fan,I was bemused why the hit on Aki wasn't looked at, you look at the other games, it was at least reviewed in a consistent way?

It's amazing the accusations that people throw around on Twitter regarding refs. Saying that they're deliberately throwing games is a very serious situation. It's actionable in court.
