I noticed the SNCF Connect app for France's rail was using it in their showcase which explains why the scroll views are so weird and busted feeling. They still stutter on a new iPhone. As a native iOS developer I'm somewhat biased

I don’t necessarily disagree with the article but I think the language is in a much but better place than it was a few years ago, with a few exceptions. As the author points out, Foundation and a bunch of frameworks and libraries are being

I don’t really care for the culture much, the people seem kind of annoying but is this actually a huge issue?

A rich text CRDT in Swift. I don’t know what it’s for yet but am enjoying optimising it.

This is pretty much where I landed as well, I also love being able to quickly copy and run SQL queries to test and modify them somewhere else.

Kantstraße is a bit of an extreme case because there was previously no bike lane at all and it’s an especially dangerous area for cyclists. I’m fairly certain the solution is not to reverse all investment in bike infrastructure, it’s just a

Research really doesn't matter if policies are increasingly determined by culture wars. While major capitals are catching up to Denmark and the Netherlands, Kai Wegner in Berlin is busy cancelling bike and pedestrian infrastructure pla

Core Data is tricky to use properly to the point that I avoid it in all new projects and opt for GRDB, sqlite or json files instead. Core Data is one of the few technologies that once I learned it well, I disliked it even more. Putting a ha

> German railways have been chronically underfunded I already mentioned that in my comment. The ownership model intensives cost cutting and share bonus programs.

Where are you getting this data from? Nicotine is an appetite suppressant but so is caffeine. I find it hard to believe that smoking alone is the reason for the difference.

For people less familiar. Germany privatised its national rail company in the 90s but the federal government is the only shareholder. It’s a weird model that doesn’t make much sense. DB is a monopoly so the rules of competition don’t apply

I use aider and claude for some work but I’ve found that the quality varies a huge amount and the fact that I need to closely check it’s output negates some of the productivity gains. Claude in general seems to have gone downhill the last f

Not really because then you need a JS environment everywhere you want to run your code. If I write a Rust module I have the possibility to compile to WASM or machine code. This is what I meant in my other comment, your assumption is everyon

I think in the scenario you’re presenting the engineering team has failed to surface the problem or the other teams have failed to accurately present it. I do agree with what you’re saying about engineering teams becoming bottlenecks if the

If you’re leading an engineering team in a product company you should absolutely be asking why and trying to find the actual problem that’s often buried amongst solutions that are brought to you from the customer or product or sales. This i

You’re assuming a lot of things in this comment, it seems like you believe every software engineer is working with the same constraints, language and platform as yourself.

I work on an iOS app like this right now, it predates a lot of these newer prebuilt solutions. There are some really nice features of working and building features this way, when it works well you can ignore networking code entirely. There

Right now I run them as two separate services. Phoenix does all the user signup and management, landing page, docs and vends API keys while I use Rust for the API product itself, which does some cpu bound work where Elixir would have been w

Awesome work. Yes, I’ve been interested in Rust for a while and have been hacking on a side project. It’s an API service in Rust, but for the CRUD management part I used Elixir/Phoenix and Phoenix gen auth to have something up quickly

There’s a book capitalism and the sea that goes into more detail on this. It’s mostly a means for shipping companies to skirt regulations.

Not OP but aider is pretty useful because it can write files in your repo, run commands commit changes etc. It's pretty flexible and easy to give it context by just providing a path.

I mostly agree with your comment so I don't think we're talking about the same thing exactly. I'm refering to true and accurate information that should be the baseline requirement for entering a discussion or argument being r

Pretty similar observations. Using Aider with Claude on an iOS app I’ve it can be helpful to scaffold new modules for example, if I give it some existing code and tell it to copy the conventions. But it’s virtually useless for editing or ch
