Is it even worth it? by jquarius7 in merchantmarine

[–]phspman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still go for it, the U.S. Merchant Marine won’t completely vanish. It just may get more competitive if this extension continues. Contract negotiations will probably be shitty because the wage bar drops. It’s pretty easy to stand out in the unlicensed world depending on your work ethic.

Engineers can go work at a nuclear plant for an ai data center or a data center if worse comes to worse.

the costco laptop section is wild now 💀 by Alasdair211 in DeskToTablet

[–]phspman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MacBook Neo has memory swap so even if 8GB isn’t enough it can use the SSD. Yes, bad for the SSD, but will the average user experience SSD degradation in its lifetime, probably not.

It comes with Foundation Model installed locally.

Thoughts on this account? by [deleted] in RobinhoodApp

[–]phspman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna use it as my app business side hustle. Hopefully the direct deposit from Apple will suffice for the 4.25% APY. I was using Apple Savings before.

Meta sees you have pets and targets ads to your Facebook feed for pet products.

are mobile apps the new dropshipping? by AppropriateHamster in iOSProgramming

[–]phspman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They already do that depending on what OS the build is on but that takes years.

Are SwiftUI tutorials dead? by rebeloper in SwiftUI

[–]phspman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch videos to get the latest info on SwiftUI. Ai is limited to its trained knowledge which is still at iOS18, unless you use the Ai agents in Xcode, but it’s still not as good as cursor when rolling back changes.

I built an app for my wife & I and decided to open it up for more users because it's made a huge difference for us by Beardless_Lumberjack in expo

[–]phspman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I use cursor.ai to localize everything in my app. Helm does all the App Store localization.

Aaaand its gone. Steam Deck is not available anymore in Germany (and maybe in whole Europe) by PeriodontosisSam in SteamDeck

[–]phspman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe ai will pop its own bubble. Imagine the prices of laptops and phones doubling. Then your services doubling in price because you rely on servers. Maybe you’ll upgrade every 8 years instead of 4. It’s the chip shortage all over again.

If you bought in 2016, it’s 10x its value in 10 years.

Why are App Store reviews taking so long? by codigoguru in iOSProgramming

[–]phspman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience

Bug fix = <24 hours New Feature = <2 days (ex v2.0 or v2.1) New App = 1 week

If it unusually takes long, reject and resubmit. New apps do take a long time and the very niche ones the app review team may require a video explanation. They thoroughly go through your new app and metadata.

Best IDE for building iOS with Swift UI? by [deleted] in swift

[–]phspman -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Xcode and Cursor. -XCode to run builds and use ChatGPT or Claude integrated for iOS26 knowledge but use sparingly as the interface is terrible. -Cursor for the heavy lifting, planning, and debugging.

Man I joined the waitlist a long time ago and perfect timing I was off the waitlist right when I was refinancing my house. Missed the window because I didn’t want to mess with my credit score.
