Apple also bundles a /uikit-app-modernization skill which should help with adopting layouts to iPhone Duo.

Apple’s Developer Documentation is historically pretty terrible. So I’d be curious to see if they stepped it up for the agent instructions for the new API’s.

Depends on how far back you go.

Apple's current docs suck, and they have, for a long time (SwiftUI was so bad, that someone came up with this[0], and it was a lifesaver).

But I'm old enough to remember Inside Macintosh[1], and that was a thing of beauty.

Apple used to take technical documentation very seriously. Many of their technical writers had better tech chops, than the engineers making the stuff they wrote about.

I really wish they still did, instead of focusing so much on trying to make it simple and obvious like in SwiftUI. Objective-C was a pinnacle of computing, and ever since Swift they've been devolving into the pursuit of oversimplifying and abstracting away the details such that they don't even feel necessary to teach anymore, even though as a new developer, I WANT TO KNOW THEM.

Historically it was very good. Back when I was writing Mac and iOS apps in objective-c, Apple's docs were some of the best.

Austin — would love to connect. I’m a longtime competitive tennis player and a huge fan of the sport, so SwingVision sits at a pretty unique intersection of my personal and professional interests.

I recently wrapped up engagements as the technical lead for an MLOps initiative at a large consulting firm and as fractional Director of Technology for an early-stage mobile app startup. The Head of ML role may not be the exact fit, but if you have a need for someone senior on the ML infrastructure/MLOps/engineering side, I’d be very interested in chatting.

Is there a good email where I could send over my resume and some more background?


As a techie who is into tennis this looks amazing. Would love to connect in case there is an opening in engineering.


Maybe based off the proprietary Apple expertise that led to the hockey puck mouse.

I play pickleball myself, and I can definitely tell you that line calls can sometimes be a problem.

good stuff here


Maybe it was edited by Apple Intelligence.


Oh wow, it's much clearer now. Guess it was a mistake lol.


Wonder to what extent Craig Federighi was considered and what the decision-making factors were there.


Age, possibly. Ternus has 6 more years until retirement than Federighi.


To what extent do you think Apple software has done well under Craig's leadership?


He could have not wanted the job to begin with. CEO is no joke, and for him would mean to say goodbye to software forever.


I wish he would say good bye to software forever. Apple software is getting worse by the minute it seems.


Some design stuff are quite bad like the Liquid Glass, but the rest is fine I think. The M series wouldn't have gone as well as it did if software side wasn't up for the task


I'm switching because of the higher usage limits, 2x speed mode that isn't billed as extra usage, and much more stable and polished Mac app.


> 2x speed mode that isn't billed as extra usage

...at least for my account, the speed mode is 1.5x the speed at 2x the usage


Whoops yes I meant 1.5x speed!
