Devs pay 100 bucks a year for membership, build the real value of the platform and everyone pays premium for the cake.
Yeah, I think we should be allowed to eat the cake.

I'll be in La Rochelle for a few days from Wednesday.
Reasons:
The ocean, boats and french food.
Ping me if you are in town.

Why is this ridiculous and completely useless? 99% of apps use UserDefaults to store some state, like whether it’s the first launch. It’s privacy theatre at its finest. Bad actors can simply store it in a file or database instead.
UserDefaults now an API that requires a declared reason to use.
Wow.

I admit I have a love/hate relationship with Makefiles.
And I just found "just".

Maybe worth trying as an alternative.
"Speed and Ambition" sadly isn't quite enough.
As it stands, this is really bad for Open Source.

Yet again: Well intentioned but badly executed.
Less than one year after we proposed a #CyberResilienceAct to protect consumers and businesses from products with inadequate security features, the EU Council just adopted its general approach 👏
#SpeedAndAmbition 🇪🇺
It's great to see critical conversations staying so productive - or at least friendly. We need more of this.
And it's a great summary of the beef I have with k8s.

PSA if you’re using @Cloudflare - their grace period on bills is FIVE days INCLUDING weekends and bank holidays. 🥲
I would strongly suggest all users add a backup payment method, and I would also strongly suggest Cloudflare to rethink their grace period considering how integral it is to so many businesses.
So many people think "I use that BIG company. It won't go away. I am safe." while I sweat exactly the scenarios like this.
Their processes are f'ed up and you cannot reach any sensible human support person.
Hey @Cloudflare my card expired and it looks like you suspended my service because an invoice is 5 days overdue, surely you don't suspend business customers after 5 days??
Just recently I tried to call VISA(!). They recently(?) changed their phone support system. There was a problem with the setup. I was getting redirected to a number that does not exist.
I had to work around it by getting to the wrong support person to reach anyone at all. 🤷♂️
💯
As always there is a middle ground between moving fast (and breaking things) and waiting for perfection.
Users have high demands and unless you have flood gates of users waiting, things not breaking is important, too.

Check your Twitter settings if you want anyone to start a DM conversation with you.
They pulled the plug on EU users on "the other place" and I hate not being able to reply. It's a mix of FOMO and not wanting to be perceived as rude.

It's baffling how to this day, Telegram is still the only messenger app that takes developers seriously.
Why would you *not* want to be the platform developers build text, or voice-based AI interactions on?

99% of SwiftUI educational problems would be solved if the framework was just open source. 😭 I don’t see the value in keeping it closed, its just not Apple’s way I guess.

Elon musk gave best reason why not to #buildinpublic
There are competitors with leverage who can copy everything you share
and use their leverage to grow beyond
Thoughts?
Wow - this in browser ESP32 simulator really is amazing!
