When annoyed at something at work: use your built-up frustration as fuel to fix the problem #ragedrivendevelopment

This is wild: edit and run Swift code in the browser. MiniSwift supports SwiftUI and even Metal shaders. Did I mention the browser-based IDE?

Announcing Swift 6.3.1, a maintenance release with reliability improvements. More details in the forum post here: forums.swift.org/t/announcin…
I feel incredibly torn on the use of AI in software engineering. Some people claim that they’ve never been this productive, or that they have never shipped this much before, with the help of AI.
Yet, when I attempt to use AI in my own work, it’s often times underwhelming.
It often times results in subpar solutions that I would never allow myself to ship.
Is anyone else experiencing this rift in the use of AI for software engineering? Am I using it wrong? Are my standards too high?
I'm having an issue with my UITabBarController when building for iOS 26, where the Liquid Glass effect doesn’t look right when the app is launched. However, if the app is backgrounded, and then foregrounded again, it looks good. 🤔 Anyone else encountered something similar?

So, um, since Twitter is turning into a burning pile of porn bots, trolls, and just general chaos, I'll probably hang out on Mastodon and Threads a bit more now. I'll probably keep this account active as well, though, but probably a bit less active than before.
I enabled strict concurrency checking on my jobby job project, and I sort of didn't expect many errors or warnings, since we don't use a a lot of the modern concurrency stuff (yet). Well... holy macaroni what a rabbit hole this turned out to be.
I started fixing some of the few errors that we had. That lead to more errors and warnings, fixing those lead to more errors and warnings. Now, 3 hours later, the compiler is crashing and my project still isn't building.
I was banging my head against a quite simple problem on Friday, after having slept less than 6 hours two nights in a row. Today, after sleeping well for the past couple of nights, I managed to solve it within minutes. Get your sleep in, folks!
Bleh, I don't like how fragmented micro blogging has become. Twitter used to be where most stuff took place, but nowadays people are scattered allover X, Mastodon, Threads and maybe other places as well (Bluesky?). I have accounts on all of them, but only use X actively.
We will soon be moving to a three-story house, and we have a dog who can’t go in stairs. I mean, the dog technically can go up and downstairs, but she’s not allowed to due to back problems.
Any construction tips for dog sized escalators are very welcome
