In March 2023, I backed the SeeAir Tankless Dive System on Kickstarter. Compact, battery-powered underwater breathing gadget. Polished renders, a slick video, spec sheets that looked legit. $362 for the dive unit and a couple accessories. Seemed fair.
AI can generate a lot of code. It cannot run your database responsibly.
Release automation gets better the moment you stop asking AI to do the fuzzy part first.
You write a prompt, hit enter, and watch the console light up green. Code pours out. It feels like magic. Then you try to maintain the thing a week later, and you realize your shiny new AI agent just built a leaking bucket.
If you build iOS apps with AI, you've probably hit a wall the second you leave your text editor. Writing logic is fast. Getting the agent to manage simulators, configure a local database, and push a build to App Store Connect is a nightmare of brittle shell scripts.
Anthropic's Claude Max dashboard gives you a vague "weekly utilization" percentage. It's a frustratingly opaque metric when you're trying to figure out if the subscription is actually saving you money compared to just hitting the API.
It's been a while since Bolt-swift got some love. The library has been quietly working away for many users, but Swift has evolved significantly since the last major release, and Neo4j has moved on, so it was time for an update.
Following on from the Bolt-swift 6.0 release, Theo has also been modernized for Swift 6. Theo is the high-level Neo4j client library that sits on top of Bolt-swift, providing a more convenient API for working with graph data in Swift.
Lots of companies are working on VR, and we're led to believe that this is the defining technology of the near future. I'm an optimist when it comes to new technologies, so I wanted to try it out to get a status of where we are today.
I'm an iOS developer at Snapsale, and I spend some time on the road, either travelling to our main office in Oslo, or to conferences. For my out-of-office work, I chose the entry-level Macbook.
