Why can’t they get AI to do shit like this so I can focus on writing friggin code?

Just here trying to continue development on a new feature, but have to update my stupid Xcode and figure out how to get the app to build again. Probably download more simulators…

Anyone else get super annoyed by these types of disruptions to your workflow?

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it:

Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

I think it was trivia or some other types of games. It just always feels so forced. 😖

It’s giving “stop trying to make fetch happen.” Why are they still trying? 😫

In case you’re wondering what does:

Besides team on-sites and less formal company sponsored gatherings, opportunities for real collaboration are much more effective.

I dunno which employer or people manager needs to hear this, but NO ONE wants to do Zoom team bonding events ever again.

Please stop. It doesn’t work.

It’s been over five years since I genuinely enjoyed my work, and it makes me wonder if I ever truly loved it. I can’t remember anymore…

Something no one talks about when selling coding as this amazing career path is how difficult it can be to do it long term when you don’t actually love to code.

I'm looking for a JUNIOR iOS Developer to join my team for an exciting opportunity in a growing industry. We've not released the product just yet, so forgive the vagueness. Feel free to send me a DM, recommend folks, etc.

Junior developers only, please!

Not sure what we’re supposed to be celebrating anymore, but I suppose a girl’s gotta eat…

New Yorkers going out in 700 degree heat out of their sheer hate of Cuomo and this once in a lifetime chance of getting a non-clown mayor.

The idea that conservative ideology should be equally represented in everything is ironically a very liberal idea

Maybe the real checks and balances were the friends we made along the way.

The lack of social skills is so off-putting sometimes.

I think about leaving tech sometimes. A lot lately.

But then I see a team photo made up of ppl who look exactly alike, and I remember that my presence here still matters.

Does anyone have a good resource for an iOS system design interview prep? Video would be great, but I’ll take whatever you’ve got.

The limit does not exist.

You might be onto something. Is it confidence, or have we all been conditioned to add more weight to your ideas and opinions?

You ever just stop and wonder, “how did we get here??” I don’t mean politically, but as a people.

Why are we not talking about the extreme cultural shift and how it’s affected and continues to affect us?

I know I’m not the same person I was five years ago.

Truly baffling.

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening:

“Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.”

She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

three panel cartoon by @emilyscartoons.bsky.social … in the first panel one person says "let's not talk about politics any more, I can't bear it" and the other person replies "same." in the second panel, they say nothing. in the third panel, the first person yells "THE THING IS THOUGH" and the second person yells back "THOSE FUCKING IDIOTS"

literally every time I talk to friends

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?
