Friday night project: hacking on my personal website. I’m a beginner at modern web dev, but with a few prompts in Claude Code I built a clean project carousel in minutes. AI is such a game-changer for side projects.

I use the iOS simulator a lot, but always test on a real iPhone before merging or uploading. As one of my professors used to say: “It doesn’t mean s*** if it only works in the simulator.”

One week until the new iPhones are announced. Will we see new hardware that makes Liquid Glass make sense? #Apple #uxdesign

Asked Claude Code to review my Swift code.
It came back with: “professional-grade, clean architecture, solid foundation.”
😂 I’ll take the compliment — even if it’s from an AI.
