As a kid, whenever we went to the Apple Store I'd run to the back to play the demo games on the iMacs. Now, in an absolutely crazy, full-circle moment, my own game @BlackboxPuzzles is one of those games on thousands of iPads in hundreds of Apple Stores around the world.

100% same. Some of the most fun I've had online in years and it's crazy to see them get skewered for this.
Feel bad for the Big Walk devs, it's probably game of the year for me. Really remarkable to see how people outside of the programming industry are unaware how much it's completely flipped on its head over the last ~18 months

I feel like Antoine started this from a text exchange schooling me in my dumb agent use…
Highly recommend if you ever come close to using up tokens or feel like your agents are slow!
My AI Fundamentals course is live, based on months of daily agent use.

So so so stoked to release my very first Mac app!
Nameshot:
A tiny app that solves a big problem: naming your messy stash of "Screenshot 2025-12-15 at 06.59.24" nonsense entirely on device via Apple Intelligence.
Your first desktop Tidy-up is on the house and I would love to hear all your feedback! RTs appreciated!

Thanks Daniel.

If you stress about running out of context weekly these tips have me absolutely sipping usage now and responses are much faster too!
Discussed token usage with @warpling and we managed to get quite some great insights!
You can get the clean-up prompt we used right here:
aifundamentals.dev/token-cle…
And let us know your results!
Someone at @Pinterest is not only responsible for getting rid of the BEST radial context menu but also for replacing it with a non-native one that you can’t even slide your finger along to select an option!!
Do y’all use your own product??
This is THE interaction.

Love @CraigGrannell's summary of @BlackboxPuzzles:
"Your Duo has two touchscreens. Blackbox wants you to touch neither and instead solve puzzles by way of sensors you rarely think about and never use."

Oh and full iPhone Duo support in any pose, orientation, split, fold, you name it ✨ More to come and a lot sooner than last time…

🌧️ I'm making a new app called Droog (Dutch for "dry")
But there's a catch… it's only for the Netherlands! So if you live here please try it out before I launch. I would love to hear what you think. Blijf droog! ☔

I get done in one morning what used to take me over a week yet I'm still stressed and feel behind. Incredible.
If anyone doesn't know what to get my for my birthday
fun fact, we use these (ring laser gyros) to keep airplanes perfectly level. they’re solid state (aesthetically pleasing) and have a drift of 1/100th of a degree per hour. they’re the most reliable and precise component out there for inertial navigation.
they work by splitting a beam of light in opposite directions, when they meet again their coherent waves interfere and recombine, and the change in phase reflects the change in angular velocity
and really, they just look so cool.
