Wow. So the director of NASA has an Imperial logo on his flight helmet?

Bugonia was insane, and I actually liked it for is strangeness.

A few insights by Don Norman from 30 years ago that are still relevant today An interesting interview with Don Norman from 1995 still giving food for thought today.

Good insights

Also that binding for a Text() versus TextField()

Staring at the screen and I want a SwiftUI view for editing AND viewing a complex SwiftData model. I would have done this in macOS/iOS as a view with a controller with and editing state. I grok the solution but it seems so odd for a redundant for a single HStack to transform based on a flag…

Prime Suspect seems like a fun geeky thriller with British and American convergence.

Wrote some XCTests last night (can’t use SwiftTesting for a few reasons right now) and it ran incredibly slow on an Intel Mac. I wonder if Apple even cares about Intel Macs now?

I think that is the challenge. Obj-C was an odd thing that felt right to me.
The complexity of Swift defeats my goal, which is making great apps. I get the safety aspect. Still? Is it the platform or programmer they are protecting against?

All I’m trying to do is flush out a SwiftData model for an app concept and it feels tedious.

SwiftUI is a great innovation that will hopefully evolve in combination with the toolset. Still, I feel we have lost something important with no visual representation of models and UI bindings. Xcode needs to up its game.

The complexity of SwiftData versus CoreData is interesting. I recall the model schema and bindings in Mac OS X that made creating an editable data model and AppKit interface easy. Mind you, it wasn’t pretty when you started. But you molded it to be nice.

A foggy #seattle night. Lovely.

Remember when software development, apps and websites, was fun?

Goodnight Seattle. We love ya.
