My son is completely obsessed with how things are made

A young child is playing with a large model of a Concorde airplane made of building blocks on a wooden floor. The child is focused on adjusting the model, which has distinct features like engines and wings. Some toys are visible in the background.

@asci @IceCubesApp I’ll look basically icecubesapp://indieweb.social/@asci is supposed to work for example. But only if you’re logged on this instance.

@asci @IceCubesApp I didn’t knew authorize interaction was a thing. What is is supposed to do?

@asci @IceCubesApp sure, actually it’s very simple. Just replace the https:// in front of mastodon URL to icecubesapp://
Work for post page, profile page and maybe more.

Build a little macOS menu bar app for GitHub repos! Mixes AppKit and SwiftUI so it feels just right. repobar.app/

@danielsaidi SwiftUI is definitely an engineering quality clusterfuck

I have Codex working in 100% autonomy on my machine. The only thing I do is validate that the tests are correct.
It can run the builds, run the tests, interact with the simulator, report back, take screenshots, etc.

And then commit and push.
I just have to say fix to Codex.

Listen. SwiftUI isn’t going away anytime soon, and thinking it’ll is a boomer fairy tale for dinosaurs who don’t want to adapt. Same as thinking that AI will magically go away.

Why stop building when you can just keep building?

@rabc full Codex for a while already. Much better IMO. CC has better DX and tooling but Codex has the better models.

@mikesax @IceCubesApp yeah compose multi platform is definitely not there yet. Maybe for some views but definitely not for all.
