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.”
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?

It is still pretty insane we need a giant mega corp like #Epic Games to finally slash down #Apple with their predatory percentages on each and every transaction
I understand it costs a lot of money to host all the apps and maintain the store but uh.. we developers already pay Apple 100 euro per years to have access to their #developers part alone
Epic isn't the best company but so far they did cut down Apple with restrictions and they do give out a "free" game engine (free earn to 1mil)
A forced #Microsoft #Windows update gave me no option but to reboot even though I was in the middle of an important email
When I came back up #firefox had not only lost all my tabs through the History menu but **ALSO ALL MY PINNED TABS**
This is why people hate #software #developers

> When #developers are allowed to use #AI tools, they take 19% longer to complete issues—a significant slowdown that goes against #developer beliefs and expert forecasts. This gap between perception and reality is striking: developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%.

...and then I realise it was a typo on the code.
