An extremely infuriating one that repeatedly gets me because I forget about it: the AM/PM wheel when setting an iOS alarm. If I set an alarm the night before and the last thing I do is flick the wheel to AM, but then hit save before th

Yep. I exclusively pay via credit card for this reason alone. (I have my autopay set to pay down the entire balance each month) Rewards are nice, but not the primary reason I use a credit card.

100% agree. I started over in 2022 or 2023 after 10 years of Vim cruft building up by moving to a Lua-based Neovim setup with Packer (now-unmaintained package manager). It was definitely an improvement, and I was impressed by how smooth and

I definitely resonate with this. Getting to the point where you can just write and try things can be a little tough sometimes, but some of my best work has been done the second time around (i.e. the first pass was just doing whatever hacky,

Trade-offs abound, but this sounds amazing to me. I already have hotkeys to instantly switch between browser/terminal/Emacs/etc., so it's not an issue for me. What is an issue is some other application stealing focus w

I definitely did a double take when I got to this section. I am neither an AI optimist nor an AI pessimist (probably slightly on the optimistic side of the midpoint) but this sounds insane to me for any software that people might truly depe

100% agree. My experience to date across the major LLMs is that they are quick to leap to complex solutions, and I find that the code often is much harder to maintain than if I were to do it myself. But complex code is only part of the prob

I am not an iOS/macOS developer, but I resonated strongly with this post because it captures how I feel the general experience of upgrading Apple OSes has been over the past few years: With each update, I find myself asking, what is go

The advice system that you mentioned is such a good example of this! I recently realized that I had come to rely deeply on xref navigation for going to a definition and then xref-go-back/forward to hop between different jumps. I was bu
