Proud to share my new two-part series about Building Type-Safe Metrics API in Swift is now live on the @sentry engineering blog 🚀 sentry.engineering/blog/building-…

Is the first default photo in the iOS simulator still broken? I remember it sometimes crashed apps during debugging

Watching some Family Guy while having a discussion with Claude about adding a vector-based search in appmetadata.com Same situation as 5 years ago while in university, different tools though.

@brungarc Reminds me of the good ol' try { work() } catch (error) { /* ignore error */ } the clankers love so much

I feel so safe because AI writes a lot of tests for me. The test:

Changed the distributed worker logic, big jump in a single day.

"Use the Makefile instead of custom commands" is probably my most sent message, because Claude keeps "forgetting" even though it's in the memory and AGENTS.md

Let a couple agents run in parallel and now you can fetch App Store charts data via the appmetadata.com 👀🙌 Full documentation is here: #tag/Apple-App-Store-Charts" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">appmetadata.com/docs#tag/Apple…

Browsing Reddit and X it seems like many developers are entering a „build first myself, search for existing solutions (maybe) later“-era

Just held my first ever talk about Metrics written in Swift at the Mobile Heads meetup in our @sentry Vienna Office. Had a fantastic time, great questions, fun people to talk to!

@copieman @sama It‘s a bit more than that in the pre-AI kula-mono-repo

@sama @philprimes weren’t you the one writing close to half a million lines of code by hand pre-AI at kula haha

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

Excited to attend my first ever #KubeCon from March 24th to 26th. I'll be at the @sentry booth so come by and let's chat.

@mufasaYC It feels to me like initial app submissions take longer than app updates. I think the quickest I ever had was submit → published in 30 minutes

Long review wait times what?

Sometimes GitHub's trending repositories shows me the coolest things I have absolutely no idea how it's relevant for me orhow I could ever use it, but it's still pretty cool. github.com/NawfalMotii79/…

Used my left-over freshly-pressed lemon juice and made some lemonade syrup. This stuff is addicting. Too much sugar though.

Most valuable nutrition table, who would have thought a 100g sugar contains 100g sugar

I miss old YouTube/Vine times. Just a stream off funny videos. Now everything has an agenda or continues a hype which is so irrelevant it‘s gone in 2 weeks

@krzyzanowskim Some much BS in our industry, makes me sad

software cost is $0, say guy who runs SaaS and just got additional $400 million to build and sell the software.

@madbyk @miguelbetegon @opencode Mine is similar, SSH App for iOS, SSH via Tailscale to a Linux Dedicated Server @ Hetzner, tmux, Claude Code. If I want a full IDE → Cursor + Remote SSH Extension

I've set up a great system to work with @opencode for a while: an old but capable Dell OptiPlex server running on Ubuntu Server 24.04, OpenCode server mode as a sercice, and Tailscale to use it from my laptop and foldable phone.

@krystofwoldrich @brungarc Yes! People blame it on bad „harness“ or „verification loop“ but it‘s just absence of proper coding of surfacing and handling all execution paths.

@brungarc So true, AI loves to do this. It’s scared to call throw to death, it always prefers to silently fail.

AI seems to avoid discomfort. "Let me hide this error here", "If this is not set lets just not do the thing". Just error out! let it error so I know I gotta pay attention, no env var set? blow up! Time to add this to agents.md

Cooking something up over here 👀

Hmmm should I just silence these
