I’ve been testing @bitrig.bsky.social . If only it and Swift Playgrounds was merged it would e a perfect app. They seem to be focused on the AI functionality. It’s barely got any features to build a real app but its a great start.

Sure we have coding agents now. But the fundamentals of the trade and being very good at what we do still matters.

This is a real problem and developers need to be vocal about it.
I wrote this almost a year ago, and things have become even worse. I’ve held my promise and haven’t bought any new Apple devices, except a new pair of AirPods that i needed, and will continue this 1 man boycott until Tim Cook resigns and Apple admits guilt.

I like writing apps on iPad -> Swift Playgrounds. It’s “zen” minimal.
I wish they would add features to make it more than a "learning tool" even though you can publish full apps with it
