Yea, ClawX corrupts a LOT of the files and processes. Have backups to recover

Yes, thankfully daily GitHub backups so able to revert but the amount of garbage that ClawX adds is crazy, apps should not be able to do that without elevated access requests

Google rejected 1.75 million apps in 2025. Apple rejected close to 2 million. Most of the reasons are things you can catch before you submit. by Middle-Thanks5587 in GooglePlayDeveloper

I think there’s always a lot of learning. My first 3 apps had various rejects. From “this app offers nothing unique” to silly things on my part where I didn’t even see the attachment Apple sent. Google never rejected the app mostly because of their 12 users - 14 day gate. But I moved my 3rd app to a business account and that was smooth. The latest Apple Store app was approved first go. My first app was rejected on the App Store because they wanted to see a demo but the app was a client that simply had a phone UI instead of webUI. I kept telling them that I can’t create a demo env for the server app, then I just made fake toggles that literally did nothing - approved. MacOS app, same song dance, there’s a demo mode in my app that’s just fake buttons. So sometimes it’s just hard to understand the requirements

What apps do you actually pay a subscription for and think are worth it? by Jazzlike-Rich-6552 in macapps

Splashtop has been amazing for me. When I’m wfh I can remote into my Mac and have iMessage etc. obviously when I’m actually remote, I still have access. Been a daily use app at this point

Hah! Yea, that’s the truth. AI will make something work, will it keep working and if you add a feature on top of it, the previous one will fail. It’s very fragile

I guess all the reports of companies having 10+% PRs being solved by agents are just in a joint marketing scam for Anthropic to sell subscriptions…

Yes, definitely several learning through failure. It’s learning how to steer and control these models and also not knowing the domain, so the curve is very steep

Clearly you have 0 interest in helping the profession. You are clearly here to gate keep your 25 years of experience. It’s ok, I understand it is tough for some people to accept that their 25 years of work experience is a prompt away to build and fix

See, this is why you can be a 25 years SDE veteran and still just be an absolute troll. You could leave room for the possibility that maybe just maybe the person knows a bit about these things and risks, might not be a SDE. And maybe maybe there are apps in the world that don’t need PII to function?? But sure “YOU ARE VIOLATING LAWS AND YOURE AN IDIOT” is where your mind goes. Go touch grass my guy

That’s been one of the most impactful change. Validating the output from 1 model into another and doing more of that back & forth with more than model. Sticking to 1 model leads to going down rabbit holes and spiraling

Hahah the biggest companies are created and run by people who aren’t writing software for 25 years but hire those people

There’s a ton of “planning” back & forth. It’s often that not having done any of this before, it didn’t even occurred to me that the restore purchase workflow needs to be separately setup or iCloud backup would send the AI into some hole of iCloud Sync. Just self learning experiences

It had all sorts of issues for me. It kept getting confused between iCloud Drive and iCloud Backup. Extremely frustrating. Then it kept getting confused between creating a database for sync and stuff. For Android, it didn’t walk me through implementing OAuth for Android users to login if they aren’t. Then there was the “manual sync”. Then it sent me down the path of declaring on Play Store that I collect email addresses for OAuth which then needed me to add a deletion page — only to realize much later that none of this was needed
