YOU are going to make a piece of generative art right now in 10 minutes.
No watching tutorials, no downloading software. Just your browser and 21 lines of code.
By the end you’ll have a basic, but fun abstract generative art collection like this.

Do you want a quick way to find and open your documents directory?
Add this line to .onAppear in your app entry Point.
print("Documents Directory", URL.documentsDirectory.path)
Puts the path on a separate line and easy to copy and right click to open service.
Accidentally renewed my Apple development membership under the wrong apple account this morning. @AppleSupport are refusing to refund me the $149.
I can return a $3000 laptop in 7 days, but not a $149 digital thing in 1 hour.

@suzytothec Hi Suzy, just noticed that Nebula’s albums are mixed up with the other electronic band Nebula in @AppleMusic again. The Live in Mojave is under the electronic band, and the electronic album Mystic is under the Stoner bands albums.

You can print object without escaping special characters with the print function or cast it as NSString.

The fact is that so many of the rules coders follow are just dogma with no proof of anything.
But the simple thing is that adding friction to read simple code is just bad, no matter how hard the industry tries to convince you otherwise 😂

The hardest part of having new folks join the team is removing the bad habits the industry has put on them.
small functions for the sake of it? no, inline the code.
too many classes, portocols...? no, simplify it.
constants for a number that is used in 1 place? no inline it

Herald Sun staff have written a scathing piece slamming Melburnians for working from home, hysterically claiming the practice has turned Melbourne into a “ghost town” — however, the article was likely written at home, as Herald Sun staff also work from home. #auspol
Bought a new home pod mini so I could stereo pair with my previous one. Worked for 3 minutes then they auto updated to iOS 15.5.1, now they no longer work unless I unpair them. Even then they are flakey.
Am mad AND disappointed Apple
Plugged the old one into the MacBook to do a factory reset, can’t connect to server (-39).
Think I’ll go with speakers that don’t need software updates next time.

To get a better understanding of Ray Marching and Sphere tracing I first worked it our in 2D using SwiftUI before moving to 3D with Metal Shading Language.

I think it is important to show progress when coding, particularly the failures. To get the previous image I tweeted, I had to go through quite a bit of bug fixing and some rewriting.

Got my iOS Ray Marching Shader (MSL) working late last night. So far only spheres and diffuse lighting, lots more to come. Not quite sure why the horizon rises up to meet the orange sphere though🤔
Is using a SwiftUI wrapper to display
