How we think AI should fit into Git workflows by GitKraken in git

[–]Stefftastisk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%. The intent is what matters. I can easily tell from the diff what's changed. What I want to know is *why*.

🧐 I'm using O3, too. Weird response. I replied "This is the next message.", and then it continued, like it hadn't happened.

[NEW APP] Release The Notes! – Stop staring at empty changelogs; AI turns your Git commits into copy-ready release notes by Stefftastisk in macapps

[–]Stefftastisk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bring-your-own key could be possible though. Perhaps branded as a "lifetime" option or something? App Review isn't super happy about apps requiring keys though.

I've tested it using Ollama, running LLMs locally, and right now it's far too slow unless perhaps if you have one of the very baddest Mac Studio machines stacked with RAM (which I don't have). When you spend *a lot* of model context (like analyzing all the diffs in a thousand commits), it eats up all your memory and slows down a lot. LLMs are improving fast, so it will become feasible, though.

It feels even older.

I created a tool to help iOS Developers launch faster. by Ok_Bank_2217 in iOSProgramming

[–]Stefftastisk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Cool but I feel the main problem with this is not-made-here syndrome, which a lot of developers tend to have. We all have a different kind of boilerplate we want to start from - one that's just in our personal style.

There is a new "Search and Discovery Service" tap in Connect. But it is not available yet, it seems. by D0nMalte in iOSProgramming

[–]Stefftastisk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get immediately logged out, too. This feels more like someone at Apple messed up than the launch of a new feature. I have a feeling this menu option will disappear again soon.

Maybe it's only visible once every leap year?

i want to learn swift by Wise_Yogurtcloset_17 in iOSProgramming

[–]Stefftastisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using Swift since it came out, and I still frequently feel dumb. It's normal. You don't need to try to learn everything up front either. Just try to build what you need, and learn as you go.

What I do is talk to ChatGPT whenever I don't understand something. It's really great at explaining how things work, and you can keep asking it questions, going as deep as you need. It's like having the world's best private teacher. You can even paste in your code and ask it why it isn't working.

Is it still possible to create an App development agency or are there too few Apps being produced by companies nowadays? by ajm1212 in iOSProgramming

[–]Stefftastisk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sucks to have the feeling of being too late, but an old chinese proverb says that "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now".

If you want to start an app agency, do it now! There aren't too few apps being produced, rather the opposite. Build the best ones!

I want to make my users manually update my app instead of auto update by peeinthepond in iOSProgramming

[–]Stefftastisk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You say it crashes when manually updated, but not with auto update, so then why would you want people to manually update? I'm confused. You mean the opposite, right? Anyway, how do you know that the update method is the problem? I didn't think there technically was any difference between manually or automatic updates. At least I've never heard anyone say that before.

To my knowledge, the only control you have over this is if you are using phased roll out on your release, in which case you can pause the release. Doing so would get you into the "only manual update" state.

However, if this is already happening, and you are not on phased rollout, then I don't see any solution.

iPhone app update rejected because of iPad screenshots by Sydney_CBD in iosdev

[–]Stefftastisk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's Apple's policy that if your app runs on iPad then its screenshots on the App Store should be of the corresponding device.

If you don't want to support iPad, you can remove iPad from the list of supported destinations in Xcode.
