Meanwhile, I’ve finished that case study that took me a few weeks, so now it’s just some editing work and drawing diagrams that’s left! And, checking the quotes with the authors, ofc.

Vibecoding is a trap. After first successes, you're like: hmm, so it works? So, I can, say, vibecode a note-taking app exactly to my taste? And AI is like: YES SURE DEAR HERE'S YOUR CODE COME WE HAVE COOKIES

I just love it when Kathryn Bigelow shows up and shows us how it’s done.

$70 more, and I will be able to launch the alpha build on Testflight!
I love making things of my own because I can tell you about them and share them.
I've made a camera app of my dreams. Remember Lomo Supersampler? 1/

Good news, everyone: I'm ready to launch #ssssampler alpha test on Testflight. "But" news: it requires an Apple Developer account that costs $99/year, and I totally haven't expected that. Well, I’m not a real developer. Hit the link for ways to donate: linktr.ee/natapokrovsk...

Whaaaaa
I replayed that Wing Commander so many times, I had a cool ORIGINAL EDITION BOX (in the world where 99% of our games were usually pirated bc 1990s Russia).
Walton Goggins, best known for his role as Border Worlds Pilot #3 (callsign "Moose") in the video game Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom (1995).

Me: I just want to test my little camera app…
Apple: Ensure you have an active Apple Developer Programme membership ($99/year).

This is what a camera app developer looks like when their custom LUT works.
