@arcticconference.bsky.social was amazing! Certainly a top-tier conference. Most notably; a very funny and energetic MC who made it all extremely memorable.

I would love to go back next year; whether as speaker or attendee. It was a blast.

The past two weeks I've hit a new level with LLM-assisted coding. Found a feedback loop: define code standards -> add as Skills -> have Claude turn them into linter rules. The code quality is incredible.

A reminder:

Being silent doesn't make you neutral.

Being silent makes you side with the aggressor.
Tech and politics have always been intertwined, despite some people trying to pretend that when you work in one, you don't have responsibility for the other.

Tech used to be a force for good in politics. We should bring that back.

hot take, if you want to give an OSS maintainer money, give them money. Github Sponsors exists, or you can literally ask them how/where to donate and everyone will be quite happy to share payment info.

We’ve made huge leaps with remote debugging, platform availability annotations, java interoperability, and more!

Coming soon are things like vscode support, packaging tools (apk & aar)

Wel’ll be releasing proper with Swift 6.3

It's been three months since Swift on Android launched with nightly previews. The ecosystem is growing much faster than I expected. This is just the beginning!
