@atpfm i’m getting really tired of the defenses of vibe coded slop. just because you think it’s valuable for your use cases doesn’t make it good for the world. programming is an art and treating it like it’s only good for the things it can create is offensive.

and yes, of course i also care that apple is AI coding bug fixes, that windows is, that linux is. it makes me respect all of these platforms/companies/people less.

@atpfm Have you looked into selling the app via Setapp, @siracusa? They’ve started to sell single apps, in addition to the subscription service.

Would that give what you want from the App Store without the limitations? (Could also be both.)

@atpfm @siracusa John, if I understand correctly, you just bought your first Apple Silicon Mac. What I don’t understand is how you can be comfortable selling apps that officially support Apple Silicon, without regularly testing them on **your own** Apple Silicon hardware. I recall you mentioning you occasionally used your wife’s Apple Silicon Mac for some minor testing. But as a commercial developer, I think you owe it to your customers to properly test your apps on all relevant supported platforms.

@atpfm John's buying decision feels like a very strong recession indicator

@atpfm @siracusa I will pay anything for Jetty to have a Dock trash icon with no rubbish in it.

@atpfm @siracusa Drama. Plot twists. Tragedy. Comedy. I got a good deal tonight 😀

@atpfm @siracusa Curious where you stand on the 3rd party internal SSD upgrade options are? (Assuming they work with new Studios still). That might be a nice 8GB option for you down the road when (if?) SSD prices come back down.

But all in all super happy to hear you finally got a new computer! :)

@atpfm @siracusa no Tim Cook exit interview?
