Maybe now they have Claude inside Xcode, the Xcode developers can work faster on fixing all the Xcode issues.
Or is Xcode developed not using Xcode...
(I also 2nd the question about what's really the difference between this and the Xcode 26.2)

Unless I'm mistaken, isn't it illegal to base layoffs on individual performance? My understanding was that it can't legally be considered a layoff unless it meets pretty strict selection requirements at the group level (cutting orgs, cutting a "random" % of a role or org to reduce headcount, etc).
Not sure why that would illegal? Your own performance isn’t protected in anyway as a class that you can’t control. I know Lyft 100% laid off people not hitting meets expectations in 2020 first

Neither should Uber. I never needed to show ID to hail a cab. You just stood at the corner and waived your arm. Are we talking about Uber drivers here? That makes some sense. But passengers? (I don't know, I don't use Uber).
Drivers are background checked but honestly they probably get more abuse and attacks than passengers. After all there's no accountability on riders but there is accountability on the drivers.
HaloZero commented on Ask HN: How many of you Apple developers still use Objective C? · Posted by u/TylerJaacks
I've been fortunate (or not fortunate based on certain views here) to be working on a fully Swift app for the past 5 years or so. The upgrades have been painful but we've had a team helping for that process. But I don't see a good reason to write Obj-C unless I work at Apple or a huge legacy codebase anymore.
I’m a happy, long term Optery user (not affiliated) and they take care of 100% of this for you. https://www.optery.com
The Mozilla offering looks somewhat comparable, but I do wonder if they’re going to beat a company which has the sole focus of solving this problem.
I'm curious, what's the point of paying for Optery per year? Isn't removing your data be a one time request. Except for supporting new brokers that might appear.

Anecdote: I've never seen this. I have seen "cash only" still, though.
I live in Oakland and it's getting more and more popular here in order to avoid theft. SF I think requires you to take cash as legal tender though so it's not allowed there.

I do wonder how much of this will change with the recent EU ruling about Apple allowing side loading if they're going to continue to gate this.
Or you know, completely disconnect the need for cards. My time in india is so much fun since I can walk out of my house with just my phone in hand knowing I can pay using QR codes directly and not worry about accounts or charges.
How does that work with fraud? I noticed that everyone accepts those QR codes.
I will say though as a tourist who was visiting my family but doesn't have a bank account, those QR codes are pretty nice but completely inaccessible to everyone outside of India :/
I haven't opened Xcode in months. My terminal: Claude writes code. build_sim. launch_app_sim. screenshot describe_ui.
What still requires Xcode: Instruments profiling, Signing/provisioning
For UI iteration, describe_ui returning the accessibility tree might actually be more useful to an agent than a preview screenshot.
