Built a small prototype using
#GPT3
- every app working with text should make language styling as accessible as text formatting.
This improves accessibility for non-native speakers like myself, and allows to focus on the content while generating auxiliary data like subject etc.

How to stop worrying and learn reverse engineering (iPhone X home button)

I felt like there’s a gap in iOS community: most of the conversations are around the code, but not enough around software architecture.
I am starting a series of videos where I’ll be interviewing folks behind iOS apps to learn how are they built. Your feedback is appreciated!

To optimise table view perf we pass scrolling information from UIKit down to processor controller using historical data of your app - no applause 🤔

Built a prototype for Xcode → Import → Design. Feels great to start with a code getting you 70% there with functional UI and clean code.
Just like GitHub Copilot you can imagine how this can take in account your existing components etc. Coming to Xcode near you in 2031.

I am in love with
#GPT3
, it has a potential to transform what we expect from software. Supercharged an email client from the previous demo:
• Show a summary instead of the first line of the email
• Show actionable emails, not just the unread ones
• Extract action item links…

No one wants to rebuild the entire keyboard, everyone wants to rebuild a suggestion bar. We need a separate keyboard suggestion API.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Self-sizing table-view cells you say…
The software to create the black hole in the movie 'Interstellar' is a full implementation of Einstein's equations in 40,000 lines of C++, and rendered thousands of 23-megapixel IMAX frames on a 32,000-core render farm at about 20 core-hours per frame
