Summer holidays = coding season. Last term I have really enjoyed building a feedback and marking app to try and help save teachers hours of work. Now I’m finally cracking on with the other ideas sitting in my notes. School starts again, and we’re expecting a baby, in September... Better get building now while I have the chance...!

Artificial Gmail Intelligence?

It’s got better but I tend to turn it off for a week I know I’ll be hitting the limit to give a bit more breathing space. That said, having it on is a very useful and I genuinely think it has saved me tokens at times as it uses context it knew rather than me having to give it

Is this a hint that a slower but less costly version is coming that we can run through the night?

Nice to see even my feed has taken a break to watch the eclipse too. This capture is just stunning!
SUCCESS! Total Solar Eclipse 2026 from just outside the rural town of Duraton, Spain.

It really explains why the whole App Store review process is getting slower and slower - I imagine they are getting inundated with requests

What's the best book you have read on AI? I've got a bit more time over the next few weeks before work starts again and I'm wanting to do a bit mroe reading before this. I've started a few books recently but even ones published 6 months ago feel outdated with the current pace of AI at the moment. Has anyone read anything really good that stays relevant with the newest releases?

I'm in the other 'half' where the office isn't for my dev work so it's all on my time at home. Hoping one day to turn it into Remote working for myself!

Finally into developing for the latest iOS and must say the new Siri app is aesthetically beautiful. Eco sites to try out and see if it is more usable now

Honestly I think at this point, Google disappearing would have the least impact

It used to be writing code but now it’s got to be shipping features

The Codex models themselves are powerful and each update has built on the success of the last and made them more usable each time. But for me the Codex desktop app hands down is the reason I keep consistently coming back

Ok, Codex is telling me this will take six to 9 engineering days. It's a big implementation I am planning so how long do we think it will take Sol Ultra on fast mode? Lets see...

This still baffles when it gives the days worth of estimates. But I think maybe AI companies are purposefully getting their models to state this to constantly remind developers how quick models can write code.
