Apple already built the pieces. Shortcuts travel person to person with no review at all, and enterprise distribution has put apps on employee phones outside the App Store for years. I think they need to aim that same machinery at individuals. Maybe call it a $20/year “Personal Developer Program.”
This would be wonderful. But I think it should be free, for my devices (and the ones of my family) and perhaps make the 20 a year so I can distribute to 20 other devices? Ok, no scratch that it should just five us free side loading.
I’m not yet convinced about the whole Ralph loop stuff, but one big issue is also that my subscription is not big enough for it to work though the night. And it certainly also needs a fully tested and thought though set of tickets to work from.
I’m experimenting with my first Ralph loop today. Feels like I’m half a year late to this.
It is always funny when you think about an improvement to a tool you created and find out that there is a library doing most of the work for you :-).
It a bit worrying that Claude Code found like ten threads issues in my blogging app today. I’ve learned to write such code and still make errors :-(
Finished (for now) my mapping tool. Check it out here.
I’m wondering if frameworks and coding languages still matter in the not so far future. When the LLM is writing all the code, my opinions about a language matter a lot less. Only of course you run out of tokens and want to implement something by hand.
@V_ It probably would matter less, but I think it will still matter to some degree. I’d argue that you’d still want the option of not using AI tools. Say they get too expensive, or they’re not functional for some reason. Having a codebase that you can understand, after some reading, would still be important. That’s generally why I’ve shied away from requesting agents working in technologies I’m not familiar with. Having something in SwiftUI would be nice, but Go and web tech is what I know.
@lmika & @torb you both raise important points. Regarding the type (and provability) I wonder if a separate domain model could help (in whatever form). Of course that would then not yet be provable. And you still need to validate if the generated code actually uses it. And the point of not being able to write on the codebase when the LLM is offline. Is a big issue. I’m also thinking about what happens when you have such a code base and they start to increase the token costs.
@torb Yes understanding of the source code is something you lose – and I feel it for features I’ve added this way. I feel a distance between the product and how it works now. Right now understanding the code is a good still a good thing. Right now I try to help a bit against this issue be adding more comments to the code. But yeah it feels different when you hand craft something vs when you just let it generate. A bit like the difference between tailor made clothing or furniture vs buying in box store.
@torb @torb And yes the ethical issues are something I ingore in part right now. Or try to make smaller by telling my self that it does not matter so much with code as most of it is OpenSource or comes from StackOverflow (which has an open licence for all posts). But I know that this argument is not so strong. At least I make a difference between image/text generation (for fiction) and code generation.
Why does coding with Claude Code or Codex feel so addictive?
My project for today. I finally documented my ground rules when I write code. Now let’s see if this actually works and helps in reality.
Since when is HELLO_WORLD called screaming snake case? I’ve never heard it until today but I sort of like it. Writing this now I’m actually wonder how I was calling it at all, I think I never gave it a name until now. It was just the way how all uppercase constants are written.
@V_ Congrats! what does it do? Just clicked through and tried toggling cities but couldn’t see any difference. What did you build it for?

@holgerfrohloff I use it to make “context” images of where I live for the postcards is send via Postcrossing. Show where the motive is from on the card for example. Or show the travel route I had while traveling through their country. Regarding not seeing differences after toggling cities: I see you just found a bug oO

@V_ cool. It did look good so there is that.
