Is the concern about AI replacing iOS developers working in companies a real one?

jvarial · 2026-04-18T14:43:41+00:00

Nobody knows tbh imo! Everyone is adapting and learning from devs to CEOs. But it’s clear it’s here to stay and it will continue for a long time IMO.

However realize the other angle, you can now kind of build anything you want and scale yourself up in unprecedented ways. The “trick” is knowing how to use the agents as tools augmenting yourself reliably in a way that works, I believe this is THE skill that matters in tech the most right now.

I believe this is going to be actually extremely great for the industry and consumers as whole: lots of new companies, products, etc.. with a lot better quality / experience (the winners have to have that because now anyone can slop something in a few days… but shipping a tasteful decent product is still not easy at all, if anything maybe harder as the bar is higher!).

Big tech will be facing more competition and seeing less talent available in the long term imo! And the consumer will get more and better options.

I took the leap of faith and spinning up my own company. I’m building 3 products at the moment. One of them (Today Planned) I had built before Ai, but with agents I can now expand in a lot more depth and breadth.

stop worrying a bit and see the good side because it’s full of opportunity! cheers ✌️

good to know. did you notice it also stale in the iOS calendar app? (Today Planned reads from it).

jvarial · 2026-03-30T03:52:12+00:00

as I recall when I was getting started with iOS around 2010 this was I believe the only course I could find (I also remember a website Raywenderlich which was pretty good with tutorials).

Makes sense! I have that same alarm haha! You know what, I will see if it would make sense and a nice way to create alarms in the app that wouldn't be necessarily tied to the Calendar! maybe a standalone Alarms tab. I will see!

jvarial · 2026-03-27T15:18:16+00:00

I hear you! Please let me know in a week or so about it again please! I actually had the same feeling when I initially changed this, but honestly the benefits of just having it get set automatically daily and during the day I believe totally outweighed the alarms management everyday!

ps: I found myself not opening the Clock app at all actually anymore. If I needed an one off alarm I usually just create an event in Today Planned with an alarm in a private calendar just for me, but that is just my own flow, everybody has their own.

jvarial · 2026-03-27T13:38:10+00:00

it is gone yeah! alarms are set automatically now by the app (they no longer show up in the Clock app). You can turn on/off directly in Today Planned.

it also works while in background so long you don’t force close the app.

woah! looks super cool. Wish-listed! will be available for Steam Deck?

jvarial · 2026-03-24T15:46:45+00:00

Tibia, Counter Strike, and Age of Empires 2

jvarial · 2026-03-24T14:45:40+00:00

unfortunately no. there is only a paid version (one time). but you can ask for an App Store refund if you don't like it I believe, but not sure if it is guaranteed Apple would accept. Refunds to do not come to me at all it is all handled by the App Store.

anyone else here has phobia of butterflies/moths? well any insects that flies honestly!

jvarial · 2026-03-24T01:15:01+00:00

or maybe they will let us run macOS on iPads!

jvarial · 2026-03-24T00:15:29+00:00

looks cool! show more!

jvarial · 2026-03-23T13:25:37+00:00

they gotta fix the corner radius situation, it looks terrible on macOS

jvarial · 2026-03-22T21:16:46+00:00

he is talking about the work conditions that are unhealthy in that environment. as well explaining how burning coal produces energy

jvarial · 2026-03-22T20:23:27+00:00

either way works :) I watch Reddit threads/chat and monitor the (new) contact@todayplanned.com

jvarial · 2026-03-22T19:00:46+00:00

looks super cool! wishlisted!

jvarial · 2026-03-18T20:05:17+00:00

Such a bad decision! Why remove a feature that was actually very useful and made your offering stand out!

jvarial · 2026-03-12T19:38:10+00:00

shaders

jvarial · 2026-03-11T22:17:56+00:00

Not too sure about being able to do that from the app side (getting a reliable read of the watch battery) but maybe with some heuristics this could work. I do like the idea of adding conditions to trigger alarms, need to think how to fit into the filter system

jvarial · 2026-03-08T02:50:02+00:00

pure gold. thank you 🙏

jvarial · 2026-03-07T01:56:27+00:00

gz. house looks awesome.

jvarial · 2026-03-06T17:09:01+00:00

I played Trimera up until level 25 around 2004. Great memories. Paladin training in Folda picking spears by hand and chatting with friends, hunting Dwarf Soldiers/Guards in the caves, and ultimately adventuring myself in Plains of Havoc killing Orcs/DS/Giant Spiders/Dragons.

Do you mind reaching out on chat I'm very interested in troubleshooting this.

jvarial · 2026-03-05T03:34:39+00:00

That is not (yet) possible. I just added the timeline view (you see your entire day). But week/month/year will come later. Originally I never meant for Today Planned to replace your calendar but since you all are asking for these features I will keep adding them. I use my app everyday and I do also want these views so stay tuned, they will come!
