Has learning become optional with AI?
🚨 Going out of business sale 🚨
iOS dev course sales plummeted due to AI. It costs a lot of money to host my courses online and with sales at basically $0, I've cancelled that hosting.
This closes down the site which unfortunately removes access to the courses.
I want you to have the courses you purchased forever, so I've added the ability to download my course videos so they are yours.
I've put my recent course on sale at a large discount so you can get it before it's gone and I've made old courses available for free if you want to grab those too.
The school will be online until November 24th so you have a few weeks to download these videos at seanallen.teachable.com
Thanks for learning with me and supporting my work over the years. I appreciate it.
Brutal how AI just killed the tutorial industry without giving any breathing room.
Usually every new tool would result in an ecosystem of learning/teaching around it but AI made learning optional it seems.
Programming languages trend has shifted due to AI.
“Developer convenience” tools are out in favor of high-performance:
Native iOS, Android vs. React Native, KMP.
On backend, expect Rust to get more popular while Python declines.
It really works!
Just did "/goal make my internet faster" in Codex.
Codex 5.5 use cases I found so far:
> made my internet faster
> made my local 6B SLM 3x faster
> made my macbook pro faster like new
> made a lightweight suite to write & test metal kernals
> made a skill to communicate with claude code in realtime
> made a pipeline to generate SFT dataset using Deepseek v4
> made a computer use workflow to fine tune models in Google Colab
> made 4 routines to test workflows on autopilot 3 times/day
The mad man did it! Congrats @steipete!
Where are the @Polymarket odds for another 9-figure exit by @steipete? 😊
I see a man on a mission.
Completed 17 years as an iOS Developer today!
Thought I’d have to keep changing platform every 5 years but Apple’s ecosystem is still going strong.
You can clearly see when I switched to Claude Code Opus 4.5 again.

A suggestion for @nummanali @moddi3io:
Instead of the codex link at the bottom, add your command: npx codex-wrapped
At first I thought this is an official feature that I can generate on that link.
I find it amazing that Opus 4.5 was never marketed as being AGI by @AnthropicAI but users have crowned it AGI after using it.
Amidst all these executive departures at Apple, I’d like to confirm that I am NOT resigning from Apple.
I don’t work there anyway, so I can’t.
