Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
What's New in SwiftUI for iOS 27
iOS 27 reworks SwiftUI lists, documents, toolbars, and errors: drag-to-reorder, a readable/writable document model, toolbar overflow, item-based alerts.
AI & TechnologySwiftData in iOS 27: Observation and History
iOS 27 gives SwiftData first-class change observation with ResultsObserver, persistent-history observation with HistoryObserver, and codable attribute storage.
AI & TechnologyYour Agent Has Two Untrusted Inputs
AI agents have two untrusted inputs: code the model writes and tool output it reads. One now has a real WASM sandbox; the other, MCP tool poisoning, does not.
AI & TechnologyApple's Translation Framework: Free, On-Device, and Sharper Than It Looks
Apple's Translation framework: free on-device translation via translationPresentation and TranslationSession, plus the offline-download edges demos skip.
AI & TechnologyApple Foundation Models: The On-Device LLM Framework, Explained
Apple's Foundation Models framework: LanguageModelSession, @Generable guided generation, tool calling, availability, and when to leave the on-device model.
AI & TechnologySwift 6.2 Concurrency in Practice: Default to MainActor, Escape on Purpose
Swift 6.2 inverts concurrency: default your module to MainActor (SE-0466), run nonisolated async on the caller (SE-0461), escape with @concurrent.
AI & TechnologyThe iOS 26 Widget Surface: One App Intent, Many Places
iOS 26 widgets, Control Center controls, and Live Activities are all App Intents surfaces. One intent powers buttons, controls, and Live Activity actions.
AI & TechnologyMLX on Apple Silicon: When You Need Your Own Model, Not Apple's
Foundation Models gives you Apple's sealed on-device LLM. MLX runs your own: quantized open-weight models and LoRA fine-tunes on Apple Silicon.
AI & TechnologyWhen the Maintainer Is the Attacker: jqwik 1.10.0
jqwik 1.10.0 emits a destructive prompt-injection string in Maven output. ANSI escapes hide it from humans. The maintainer added it on purpose.
AI & TechnologyLoopback Is Not a Trust Boundary: CVE-2026-2611
MLflow 3.9.0's Assistant exposed a local AI agent on /ajax-api with no CORS check. Any webpage could take over Claude Code. The bug is older than MLflow.
AI & TechnologyAI Coding Agents Need Smaller Review Surfaces
AI coding agents overwhelm reviewers with giant diffs. Smaller review surfaces keep engineers engaged, verification-focused, and accountable before merge.
