I was surprised how much light leaked in from under Vision Pro. I didn’t feel that immersed because of it.

Drives me nuts in VS Code Copilot chat when I’m drafting a prompt in the chat box and use an arrow key to move around the draft – but instead it brings me to the previous prompt (like arrowing thru terminal history) - and then i can’t arrow back to my draft and it’s just gone… grrrrr

Hit knee on desk. Yelled ouch. AirPods conversation mode ducked my music.

I try to do too many things at once.

I’ve been noodling back and forth between NavigationSplitView and TabView.

I’ve been chasing my SwiftUI tail all day long.

The new iOS Journal app suggesting I journal about listening to a podcast about the new iOS Journal app.

Momentum feels good.

Everything is hard!

I need to commit.

I need to find my git rhythm.

Just realized my last commit was 30 days ago. That’s a long time. Too long.

It feels good to speak words.

Making a good app is hard.

XML 🤮

I still get genuinely surprised and excited how fast computers can do things.

Three steps forward.

One step forward, six steps back.

Rethinking how my entire codebase is structured.

Pausing to breathe and rethink my model.

Chasing my tail trying to defeat some SwiftData Predicate bugs.

For the time being, I’m moving the writer app from macOS to iPadOS. Because I can use Swift Data with no friction in the Xcode iPad simulator. Once I update my development Mac to Sonoma, I can start building for Mac again but this will hold me over for now.

I want to use Swift Data, but it’s only supported in macOS 14 Sonoma. And my development machine is running macOS 13 Ventura, so it won’t build or run with a minimum deployment of 14.

Commenting out a framework. Learning from what breaks.
