Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

OpenAI just told investors it now expects to spend $115B before breaking even by 2029, up from $35B. The jump comes from soaring AI training costs and competition for AI talent. $20B will be set aside for stock-based compensation alone this decade. Welcome to the AI talent wars.

Looks like the App Review team workload has increased significantly with the upcoming iOS 26 release. Beta TestFlight approval has been pending for a long time now. Are you experiencing unusual lengthy delays?

A thing I've been doing recently is "on-call consulting". When a Swift Concurrency thing comes up, I'm just there to help. Diving deep, design ideas, quick fix, whatever. It's lightweight, cost effective, and feels so productive/educational. Maybe your team could be into this too?
