etothet commented on Xcode 26.3 – Developers can leverage coding agents directly in Xcode   apple.com/newsroom/2026/0... · Posted by u/davidbarker

I am already using Claude in Xcode 26.2. What did they change / add specifically in 26.3? It's not super clear behind the marketing haze.

I came here to ask this question. I find the existing agentic coding integraton to be clunky and slow. I've had much better luck with my Xcode projects just using my agentic coding tool of choice in the CLI.

The short answer to your question is “yes”. I’ve been a part of projects that largely leveraged agentic coding tools and produced net posititve results. BUT, we didn’t skip code review and we didn’t lower the bar for what good code looks like.

In my personal experience (working as part of a team and not a solo dev), good documentation and well-documented/enforced practices can produce great results. That said, it’s not 100% perfect but neither are humans.

News next week : "Donald Trump Jr opens US Drone company with exclusive import license from China."

> DJI responded publicly that month that they had nothing to hide, and subsequently spent a year trying to convince the U.S. government to begin the audit. But no federal agency even began

There's your answer. There was never any concern over Americans data being sent to China.

Also they didn't "Follow through", they simply let the clock run out without even evaluating DJI's reponse to the claims.

Maybe the US government can make a requirement that DJI divest and spin of a US controlled subsidiary. That seems to have worked great with ByteDance and TikTok.

It feels like the author is conflating Tailwind the open source project vs. Tailwind Labs the business, which Adam says has run into a bad situation with their revenue because Tailwind Labs’ paid projects aren’t getting as much traction as fewer and fewer users visit the official Tailwind docs, which is currently the primary source people find out about those commercial products.

Regardless of what happens to the company (my personal opinion is that they’ll come out of this strongee than before) Tailwind as OSS probably isn’t going anywhere for the foreseeable future.

From what I understand, 3 left and they had 4 total. Not 3 are there and they had 9 total
etothet · a month ago
They had 8 people total: 3 founders (who is still there), 1 businessy/partner program person (who is still there) and 4 devs, 3 of which were laid off.

They now have 5 people total - 3 founders, the business person, and 1 other dev, which according to Adam’s podcast was the first dev they hired.

I'm not sure this will play well for them politically. A fair bit of what got Trump elected was saying they'd protect ordinary Americans from immigrant criminals. Now they have footage of a white middle class mum in an suv, pretty much their median voter, being shot dead by their thugs and saying don't believe you eyes and clear video evidence, she tried to run an officer over when she obviously didn't.

You may be correct (and I hope you are), but speaking anecdotely, I have several friends & acquaintances on the right who justify pretty much any actions taken by the admnistration (including this one). Many of the supporters of this administration are religious zealots who see left wing thinking and people as just about the most evil thing out there. To them, the end (fewer “radical” left wing thinkers) justifies the means.

etothet commented on Vibe coding creates fatigue?   tabulamag.com/p/too-fast-... · Posted by u/rom16384
Zigurd · 2 months ago
I don't want to be that contrarian guy, but I find it energizing to go faster. For example, being able to blast through a list of niggling defects that need to be fixed is no longer a stultifying drag.

I recently used a coding agent on a project where I was using an unfamiliar language, framework, API, and protocol. It was a non-trivial project, and I had to be paying attention to what the agent was doing because it definitely would go off into the weeds fairly often. But not having to spend hours here and there getting up to speed on some mundane but unfamiliar aspect of the implementation really made everything about the experience better.

I even explored some aspects of LLM performance: I could tell that new and fast changing APIs easily flummox a coding agent, confirming the strong relationship of up-to-date and accurate training material to LLM performance. I've also seen this aspect of agent assisted coding improve and vary across AIs.

I 100% agree. It's been incredible for velocity and the capabilities and accuracy of the models I've been (mostly from Anthropic) have improved immensely over the last few months.

I was hesitant buying my Tesla this year (first one) as I really liked having CarPlay in my prior car (Jeep). But after having it a while, it's really a non-issue. The Tesla Apple Music app is pretty good. Their maps and navigation is pretty good (and integrated with FSD). And I can easily just use the bluetooth connection for a couple other minor things I occasionally use.
etothet · 2 months ago
I’ll start off by saying that the model Y is one of the best mid-level cars I’ve driven so the issues I mention below are worth the tradeoffs to me.

In my experience, Tesla navigation can be pretty bad when navigating my large urban city. During peak traffic times it often tries to send me down roads that are notoriously known for traffic backing up. Most times when I end up following those suggested routes, my ETA essentially becomes meaningless.

I’ve found Google, Waze, and Apple maps to be a lot better in this respect.

I do miss having CarPlay. That’s not to say I think the music integration you mentioned is bad, but I find the overall UI in my model Y to be a bit confusing - and the lower icons seem to sometimes randomly change from what I have them set as.
