These people who think he’s playing 4D chess are the new QAnon class. They keep deciphering his shit looking for hidden meaning or genius when the reality is much more simple: the motherfucker is just really that dumb.
What Elon is doing is a revolt by entrepreneurial capital against the professional-managerial class regime that otherwise everywhere dominates (including and especially large tech companies), and that same PMC (which includes the media) is treating it as an act of lèse-majesté.

The new @TEDTalks for iOS is out today. It's the biggest release we've done since 2012 and the culmination of about 3 years of progressively rewriting an app that first shipped on iOS 3.2. I had a lot less grey hairs back then.
Hope you like it.

Be wary of the person who tries to sell you on a language or framework that allows you to “write once and run everywhere” for they are selling you a lie.
This tweet was relevant a decade ago and it will be in the next decade when this comes around again.

Modern iOS development is 25% parsing JSON into table views and 75% debugging analytics SDKs.

Software development and owning a home aren't much different. Ignore regular maintenance and upkeep for long enough and you'll pay for it exponentially when it rears its head.

If you’re not spending at least 30% of your release cycle on code hygiene and paying down technical debt, your software development process is broken.

You don’t join Apple to change the world. You do it to never have to deal with vendor SDKs again.

I picked up a 12.9” iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard a few weeks ago and I honestly think it might be my favorite computer ever.

If Apple isn’t going to ship me a computer that is exactly like my 2004 setup I am going to write negative tweets and blog posts about it!

After nearly 7 (!) years, yesterday was my last day at @TEDTalks.
What's next? Some much needed time off to recharge and learn some new things.
After that? Call me.

I have five years of stories and scars about the work it took to get to this point, but TED for iOS now lets you sign into your TED account.

At least once a week I consider quitting software and going back to school for a degree in turf management. Managing a golf course for a living sounds downright peaceful.

You slept on the floor for this.
A lot of folks have asked about how you'll be able to distinguish between @TwitterBlue subscribers with blue checkmarks and accounts that are verified as official, which is why we’re introducing the “Official" label to select accounts when we launch.
Community note
After this feature briefly launched on November 9, 2022, Elon Musk announced it was canceled and being rolled back. He then stated that the Twitter Blue checkmark would be the only "verification" badge.

How I know an SDK vendor doesn’t give a shit: it’s the year of our lord 2019 and you still don’t support Swift nullability annotations.

My house has been filled with carbon monoxide because of a non-functional flue vent. Replacing the pipe would have required a lot of drywall being knocked out, so I am just replacing my entire HVAC system to re-route that pipe.
A true programmer: rewriting over refactoring.

If you are still getting ramped up I have three recommendations.
1. The WWDC sessions, obviously. Combine in Practice from 2019 had plenty of great examples of real world usage. developer.apple.com/videos/p…

The best part of putting out a new @TEDTalks release is getting to write the release notes. It’s the only writing I get to do anymore it feels like.

Most people in my circles have known for a long time this guy is a dope, but now it’s becoming obvious to the rest of the world. I wouldn’t trust him to run a Starbucks. That requires skills he obviously does not have.

I do hope “gluing the pizza” becomes a thing like jumping the sharp or nuking the fridge.
“Does this need AI?”
Don’t glue the pizza, Jim

If you dread Monday’s, it’s time to find a new gig.
If you think about your job after you sign off for the day, it may be time for a new gig.
If you think about your job on the weekend, it’s definitely time for a new gig.

Companies thinking they need 100+ devs to build an app with 400+ Xcode targets is an organizational failure.

2. The @heckj site is a great reference and explainer. I use it weekly. The entire “book” is free online, but I just realized he sells a digital copy of it as well. Purchasing to support his hard work.

I’ve learned way to much about iOS Data Protection this week.
Pro tip: it’s best to assume your app will always have its container locked with NSFileProtectionComplete.
MDM policies can seemingly overrride your defaults from my research/headaches.

Armchair quarterbacking* Big Fruit’s (or any other company for that matter) SWE practices from the outside is tacky and unhelpful.
* the “quarterback” is the player who throws or hands off the ball in football. He’s what agile developers would call the “Scrum Lord.”

My parents in their 40s: we should really think about diversifying our portfolio and maybe looking into some speculative real estate.

If you still think Twitter and social media in general is as simple as 'the place where people post what they had for lunch' then yeah. You are going to get people killed.

Here it is: Twitter engineers were told today to *print out* their last 30 to 60 days of code, so they could show it to Elon Musk himself.
Then they were told wait, no, actually, please shred all that code you just printed out.

ALT According to four current employees, engineers spent Friday afternoon at Twitter dutifully printing out their code in anticipation of meetings with Musk and some of his senior engineers from Tesla. Other engineers were told to prepare for “code pairing” with Musk, in which they would sit with him and review code together. Just after noon, an executive assistant asked engineers to begin preparing code to show to Musk. “Please print out 50 pages of code you’ve done in the last 30 days (if you haven’t submitted code in the past 30 days, then you can go back up to 60 days),” the assistant wrote in a Slack message obtained by Platformer. “Please be ready to show on your computer as well.”

I blame @buzz for getting me on this hellsite I love, loath, and will never quit.
It was 2007 and I was told it would be good for the blog and my career. I can’t even lie and pretend both weren’t true. #ReasonsYouJoinedTwitter

Keeping track of all the different margin variants has replaced keeping track of the status bar as the biggest iOS pain in the ass.
