Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
Agents Supersede the Reviewer, Not the Review
A 2026 paper argues coding agents have ended human code review. I run the pipeline it prescribes: the reviewer role is dying, the review is relocating.
AI & TechnologyComputer-Use Agents Overshare by Default
A 2026 benchmark tested 15 frontier computer-use agents for data leakage across contexts. Eleven leaked on over half the scenarios. No attacker needed.
AI & TechnologyContext Compaction Is a Decision, Not a Threshold
Coding agents compact context when a counter trips, not at a safe stopping point. A 2026 paper shows model-decided compaction cuts cost 30-70%.
AI & TechnologySwiftData Performance Is a Storage Problem
What the WWDC 2026 SwiftData lab taught about performance: WAL concurrency, fetchCount and fetchIdentifiers, the Sendable boundary, and the aggregate gap.
DevelopmentWhy Safari 27 Ships 525 Fixes: Notes From the WebKit Lab
The WWDC 2026 Safari lab on how WebKit decides what to build: 525 fixes, a module-loader rewrite for top-level await, :has(), appearance: base, and more.
Web DevelopmentApple's Font Interpreter Is Now Swift, and 13% Faster
Apple's security team rewrote the TrueType hinting interpreter from C to memory-safe Swift, made it 13% faster, open-sourced it, and showed the techniques.
DevelopmentApple's First-Party Answer to Prompt Injection
WWDC 2026: Apple cites the lethal trifecta, ships deterministic guardrail APIs in Foundation Models and App Intents, and moves PCC onto Google Cloud.
AI & TechnologyContainer Machines: A Persistent Linux Environment on Mac
Apple's container tool hits 1.0 with container machine: a fast, persistent Linux environment on macOS with your user, home directory, and dotfiles mounted in.
DevelopmentUIKit's Scene Mandate: What Fails to Launch on iOS 27
Apps built with the iOS 27 SDK must adopt the UIKit scene-based life cycle or they fail to launch. The timeline, the migration steps, and the agent skill.
DevelopmentImageCreator Is Deprecated: What Breaks in iOS 27
Apple is discontinuing Image Playground's ImageCreator class in iOS 27, with TestFlight runtime errors in beta and compile failures at public release.
DevelopmentXcode 27 Ships Agent Skills You Can Export Anywhere
Xcode 27 bundles two SwiftUI agent skills and a one-command exporter. xcrun agent skills export moves Apple's best practices into Claude Code or Codex.
