One thing that annoys me the most is Apple reverting my settings every time I update to a new version of OS or Xcode or any of their software. Every. Single. Time.
Why is it so hard to persist user settings?

TIL the @.Observable macro doesn't trigger updates for equatable properties starting with iOS 26. But for prior releases, we have to manually check equality for the object properties to improve our app performances.
Thank you for the tip Steven!

TIL Xcode 26 has a View Debugging tool to show when a View is rendered called “Flash Updated Regions”.
This seems very powerful and useful, I’ll make sure to débug my apps with that turned on.

Netflix is absolutely unusable at this point. Movies and shows are hard to find. Categories make no sense and I really don't understand why I can't just filter by type, like fiction, instead of scrolling through endless curated collections of "Boredom Busters". What?!

It's really nice when you can outsource extra work to someone, like in-house - literally 😬
Hubby really did some nice work on my redesigned website. First version I built in Canva in 5 mins to quickly satisfy AppStore rules 😅
This one is much better!

Started my trip to New York for the @revenuecat.com RAGA/App Week!
So far, my flight is only delayed 1:30 hrs. I'd be happy if it's only delayed and I still arrive on time considering half of the flights were already cancelled. 😅

I am really annoyed with the new OS26 on all devices. Apart from wonky animations that are getting in the way and unnecessarily large buttons covering screen real estate, everything takes extra taps to open and it's not user friendly. That's my biggest issue.
