App developers face an unfair choice: Use only Apple payments (which millions of users can access in just two clicks) or offer a different payment method. But not both.
With so many customers already tied to Apple’s payment system, most developers can’t afford to say no.
Why can’t #developers choose what to offer?

“Before performing the study, the #developers in question expected the #AI tools would lead to a 24% reduction in the time needed for their assigned tasks. Even after completing those tasks, the developers believed that the AI tools had made them 20% faster, on average. In reality, though, the AI-aided tasks ended up being completed 19% slower than those completed without AI tools. […] Overall, the developers in the study accepted less than 44% of the code generated by AI without modification. A majority of the developers reported needing to make changes to the code generated by their AI companion, and a total of 9% of the total task time in the ‘AI-assisted’ portion of the study was taken up by this kind of review.”

AI slows down open source developers. Peter Naur can teach us why

Wait until they hear about... Commander Curly Brace!
Hey #FediHire , meet @Dominicd3213
He's an embedded systems and #fullstack #developer who loves making machines move and websites work. By day, he wires up #Robots with ROS 2, #arduino and LIDAR; by night, he wrangles #react #TypeScript and #MongoDB into sleek, responsive interfaces. Built #AI chat tools, and co-founded a trading platform.
He lives where code meets circuits, and believes great tech should be powerful and weird.
Anyone need a bright young guy like this?
A big shoutout to all the managers who cut budgets, kick out good #developers, release unfinished products, and still defend their strategy. Truly inspiring.
