Xcode 27.2's Device Hub can now fake memory pressure, slow-motion animations, a shake, and a fall.

How close to zero do you type in your two-factor auth code? I am pretty comfortable now at 3 or 4 seconds

Today in #FlutterDev: Love the new guard-pattern! But now we have another thing that shares a name with an iOS element, but has an entirely different functionality 😯

This flyer for a Pico VR Space Dev hackathon/competition was handed out at @NextAppDevCon, and now, just a few days later, the website requires a password. What is going on here? Did they vibecode the website and it already stopped working?

Add .contentTransition(.numericText()) to a Text, and numbers roll to their new value instead of jumping.

A stepped SwiftUI `Slider` finally shows its steps on iOS 26. When you use `step: 1`, SwiftUI adds a tick mark for every possible value. You don't need to draw them yourself.

A lot of folks getting into game dev with ai don’t know this but, you really need to make sure your game is fun without a bunch of fancy art. Llms make it too easy to build visually rich levels with no real gameplay. That’s backwards!
Early footage of Star Wars Galactic Racer. Man I love seeing stuff like this, even before a lot of the 'star wars' stuff came in, this already looked like a blast. Such a fun game.

Found something funny when reading Tailscale code. They use a Cyrillic letter "ж" (reads as "zh") for the variable which shouldn't be exposed to callers and mutated. This is an artificial barrier for human devs that should raise concerns when trying to type it. Apparently it looks like an asterisk meaning it's a pointer. But for me it's a familiar letter which I didn't expect to see in the code and was like Ж? WAT? Yeah, you can use unicode letters in Go code if you want. I now really want to use something like that in my code because I bet it'll make me smile every time I see it

My hot take is that Biddy Blas cannot be a Glup Shitto as he is a beloved main character in a currently popular piece of media

Did anybody else’s Apple Health-App and HealthKit-Access just stop working? Any action I want to do results in a freeze or a crash
