@Hartdrawss Improper use of both "literally" and "retarded" okay

i'm literally RETARDED for giving you this sauce
but i want you to win so here it goes
Here's my Ultimate App Store and Play Store checklist (prevents 90% of rejection disasters)
Before You Submit:
1/ App Store Assets
□ App icon: 1024x1024 (no transparency)
□ Screenshots: all device sizes
□ App description under 4000 chars
□ Privacy policy URL live
□ Support email that actually works
2/ Technical Setup
□ API keys moved to env variables
□ Error tracking configured
□ TestFlight tested on real devices
□ All third-party SDKs approved versions
□ Memory leaks checked
3/ Legal Requirements
□ Privacy policy hosted
□ Terms of service URL
□ COPPA compliance if targeting kids
□ Data collection declared accurately
□ Age rating matches content
4/ Developer Accounts
□ Apple: $99/year paid
□ Google: $25 one-time paid
□ Bundle ID matches everywhere
□ Certificates not expired
5/ Cost Reality
□ Hosting: $20-50/month
□ Database: $0-30/month
□ AI APIs: calculate per-user cost
□ Payment processing: 2.9% + 0.30
□ Push notifications: usually free tier works
The Gotchas That Cost Weeks:
Missing support email = instant rejection
Wrong privacy policy = 2 week delay
Expired certificates = build fails at 3am
No error tracking = debugging blind
Most founders skip TestFlight testing
Big mistake. Real devices catch bugs simulators miss.
I once shipped an app that crashed on iPhone 12 specifically.
Simulator showed green. Real users saw crashes.
My Rule:
If you cant check every box, dont submit yet. App Store reviews take 24-48 hours.
Every rejection adds a week to launch.
Use this checklist. Ship once. Ship right.

Every AI shitfluencer out there is like:

How do I invest in the imminent coffee boom?

The inefficiencies of WordPress have been around for years, long before gen AI exploded in popularity.
A developer making a change in a shared resource was always more efficient than sloghing through the same change in WP admin UI.
Gen AI just exacerbates the issue.

Cursor published a post last week arguing the cost of CMS abstractions is now higher than the cost of just editing code with agents. I ran the same experiment on our website and cut WordPress, shipped the marketing site and resources as raw code. The site is now static HTML/JS. No server app, no database, no CMS API in the request path. There's an admin UI for drafting and exporting JSON, but publishing is git-first. Why this matters: agents work best when content is grep-able. - "Add a new section to the homepage" is one prompt. - "Fix broken links across all posts" is one prompt. - "Rename the resources taxonomy" is one prompt. Those same tasks in WordPress are very mundane through the admin panel, plugins, and database tables. It took ~0.5 day to get a working static site + resources + admin UI. I used Opus 4.5 in Cursor. It migrated the posts, generated routing, and built the admin UI in one session. If your team can live in git, you probably don't need a CMS or any no-code website builders anymore.

One of my eye opening life moments was when I sat on an HOA board discussing a special assessment.
Resident complained "They won't pay for it?" referring to the HOA.
Board chair responded "They is us".
Resident sat down quietly like they were just told Santa doesn't exist.

My son's HS banned phones.
The algebra teacher requires use of a phone to submit homework assignments.
Make it make sense.

Today on the blog: the evidence in favor of phone bans in the classroom really is overwhelming — and so is the evidence for banning laptops. nicholasdecker.substack.com/p/should-we-ba…

@maxedapps It's so polarizing because the loudest people on the Internet are on either end of the spectrum and that annoys the majority.
English
Why is AI so polarizing?
I don't get why so many people are either in the "omg AI is amazing, do everything with it" or "wow, this thing is total bs, avoid it like fire" camps.
For me, gen AI can already be a great assistant and help with many tasks.
And yeah, 100%, it can also make you fall into the trap of relying too much on it and getting dumber.
It gets many things wrong and does NOT replace me or my own thinking.
That's why you should use it as a tool. Not as a replacement for your brain.
But acting like it's totally worthless and doesn't do anything useful? I'm not sure...

@kvlly Wealthy, maybe. Success? Depends on your definition I guess.

Reading these Epstein emails makes me think I’d probably be more successful and wealthy if I stopped writing coherent sentences in mine

Remember when we used to fight over TypeScript vs. vanilla JS?
That was time well spent.
English
@zeeg Same. And they lack the discretion to just admit they need more context to do a good job and they keep throwing slop at you.
English
The more time I spend using coding agents, the more I find myself fighting with them for quality. This particularly becomes evidence when you're doing something visual - you have to let go of the controls and do it yourself.
Except its not just visual, its everything.

What clown trained the models to use "as any" whenever it encounters a type error? smh

You now know that @cursor_ai is legit because they hired @leerob.

I'm joining Cursor to teach the future of coding! There are millions of developers learning how to use AI and they need pragmatic advice: 1. We need to teach new developers strong foundations, so they know what to learn, and how to solve issues when debugging. 2. We need to teach experienced developers how AI can automate the tedious parts of coding, or save them time reading docs and fixing bugs. 3. We need to help developers become even more competent. AI may end up writing most of your code, but you have to review, understand, and maintain that software. This is why some experienced devs are having a great time with AI. They can ask for a pattern like "add an exponential backoff" instead of “make it more robust to errors” which may or may not work. I want to help developers become an order of magnitude more productive, and help more people contribute to building software. This is going to take a *lot* of education and retraining. So expect more videos soon, and if you have ideas for what I should teach, let me know!

AI tools are being optimized to generate better human readable code. From that I gather that humans are still expected to read the generated code.

@jasonfried @levelsio Translation: "I messed up but don't want to admit it."

@levelsio Of course, and I almost never reply/quote to shit like this, but it's also just fun to jump in sometimes.

Tweets are usually so one note, but Michael's below has two: Envy and anger.
Imagine going through life looking through a minuscule peephole with half an eye open, thinking that all you can see is all there is. Or that what you don't get can't be got. Or that if you don't know someone, then there's no one.
I feel bad for anyone who builds their walls so high they can't see out.
(on another note, I'd never trade places with any of the fine companies listed below. They all make great stuff too. But we have it really fucking good over here, and it's a special pleasure to know some people just can't fathom it)
Michael Grinich@grinich
imagine losing to jira but boasting that you save a couple million dollars per year dhh shares all this virtue signaling as if they are business masterminds but seems they just got smoked by linear, asana, monday, and even atlassian does anyone actually use basecamp? i literally can’t thing of a single company

@wesbos I'm pretty sure their plan is to replace the assistant with Gemini. So instead of saying "I don't know" it can just make shit up.

Who's working on side projects this long weekend? What are you building? 👀

AI tools often behave as well as junior developers. So it's not surprising that shoving AI down the throats of teams is having the same effect you'd get if you unleashed a swarm of junior developers on your codebase.
