@stephencelis @pointfreeco Great timing. I’m almost done migrating to 1.0 😆

We think the Composable Architecture 2.0 is going to be the most SwiftUI-like way to build your app’s feature logic. You’ll be able to compose features, react to state as it’s presented, updated, and dismissed, all in a way that looks similar to a SwiftUI view.

@pointfreeco What happens if you enter an invalid url? Wouldn’t it nil the whole value?

Did you know you can bind a SwiftUI text field to a URL? The simplest way is with a custom computed get/set property, which allows you to derive a binding via dynamic member lookup: Just one of many tricks we employ in this week's episode: pointfree.co/episodes/ep341…

Anyone with a Shopify account can now use the Brandmachine app to try Googles fantastic new image generation model to create a spotlight promotion for any product in their catalog. Check it out!

Wrote a post about the AI agent I built to test iOS & Android apps over on the NewStore tech blog open.substack.com/pub/newstorete…

@HarryStebbings @itsjoeconway @dakolkman

I have interviewed 500 of the best founders of the last decade. Whether they have led a clan or played video games at a high level in childhood is a much greater predictor of success than college or university.

@steipete Apple could have taken my experiment from two years ago! thomasvisser.me/2023/05/04/gpt…

One guy casually building what whole of Apple couldn’t ship.

@steipete Guess I don’t know how a model decides when it is done thinking. To what extent does it relate to the complexity of the problem?

Never seen Gemini think so long. Guess I stumped it with my question. That was a solid 6 minutes!

@steipete I _so_ understand your excitement. I built a Slack bot (powered by Gemini) that instructs a UI test agent (also powered by Gemini) to perform a certain test case. Works pretty well, and I have yet to build the feedback loop.

Agents in agents is extremely powerful. Supercharges Cursor.

@steipete It might even prevent them from eventually taking over the world. Who knows!? 🙃

Setting up main branch protection on GitHub, not for me, but because my AI kids are sometimes not behaving.

@steipete Thanks for sharing! I’m also adopting AI assistants for coding more recently so it’s interesting to follow along!

This has been incredibly useful to make all Agents smarter, those help for Cursor too not just Claude. anthropic.com/engineering/cl…

Been burning through 60 bucks just with writing code today. Cursor in agentic mode + Claude 3.7 is amazing.

@mvvmvc Stop switching branches then!

Update: Xcode now also crashes every time I switch branches x.com/mvvmvc/status/…

@steipete This is how I played Baldur’s Gate 3 last year. Worked so well!

Been playing the new Diablo 4 Expansion on my Macbook Air with NVIDIA’s game streaming in 4k on Ultra settings running 120 FPS + HDR + Ray Tracing with 8ms lag. I’m impressed how well this works.

Het 3de jaar op rij minder nieuwe stamceldonoren in NL. Dat gaat me aan het hart, want ik heb bij mijn dochter gezien wat voor 'n verschil het kan maken. Meld je vandaag nog aan om in de toekomst mogelijk iemands leven te kunnen redden. nos.nl/artikel/253762…

@twannl @ridmaur Reminded me of Reveal being able to do that without a code change, just a breakpoint: support.revealapp.com/hc/en-us/artic…

@ridmaur Exactly! It does require linking RocketSim’s library with a few lines of code though, hope that’s okay?

It took me two years to find out how to build this, but it's finally here 👀 docs.rocketsim.app/features/hzQMS…

@jordibruin Na de eerste transplantatie kwam de ziekte terug. De tweede was in februari, so far so good 🤞

@thomvis Heeft die persoon het gered uiteindelijk?

Found out this week I'm a stem cell donor match for someone. Going through the process of medical checks now to see if I'm the best match. It takes only a small swab to register, and the chances of matching are tiny (<0.06%) so please consider it! wmda.info

@jordibruin Heb zelf gezien hoeveel dit kan betekenen voor de ontvanger. Wat goed dat je dit doet, of je nou de uiteindelijke match bent of niet!

80% of donations are for blood (in which they extract the stem cells from the blood so you don't even lose any). The other 20% is through bone marrow from your lower back. This is done under anaesthetic so you won't notice it. Due to medical reason I have to do the latter.
