When using SwiftUI in Xcode 26.1 I frequently run into this compiler issue. I can't even send this to Apple because I don't have a small repro case for it:
The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions

I'm wondering if Apple is planning to rename the Apple TV box to Apple Home TV so it does not conflict with the Apple TV service.

On Friday Matthew and his band @SouplessBand released their first album The Outside. It’s a great collection of 10 very beautiful songs.

Matthew just dropped another song 'In The Mirror' with his band Soupless. From Matthew: this song grapples with a battle against the self in a world of reflection.

Why doesn’t Xcode have a terminal window built in like every other IDE on the planet?

For my Flutter app versioning in pubspec.yaml, I prefer to use a semantic version like 1.2.3+32, using the format of MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH+BUILD, which works well on both Android and iOS. #Dart #FlutterDev #larryism

In VS Code I like using launch.json with configurations for each of my app flavors. It makes it easy to launch various apps quickly and it provides concise documentation on which flavors are supported. #Dart #FlutterDev #larryism

In my Flutter/Dart classes I normally define the class parameters after the class constructor. However, I realize this may not be the normal convention. I’ve recently tried the reverse and like it now. #Dart #FlutterDev #larryism

All apps should have a good working offline mode. For some reason, the Bluesky iOS app does not. #Dart #FlutterDev #larryism

When my IDE or the installed extensions need to be updated, I update them ASAP. I don’t know why I do this, but maybe it’s the dopamine that is released in anticipation of the reward of seeing the alert go away. #Dart #FlutterDev #larryism

Developing with Flutter and having hot reload is a game changer. It works well all the time and is super fast. So much better than what native iOS and Android development offer. #Dart #FlutterDev #larryism

I hope that soon using the new AI tools we can finally auto configure ProGuard/R8 for Android apps and stop the release app crashes. It really drags down Android development, and is just another example of poor engineering management at Android.

I prefer to send app trace and error data to New Relic for easy real time reporting and monitoring. You can’t match the real times features of New Relic with Google Analytics or Firebase Analytics.

I am still using Flutter version 3.27.3 even though version 3.29.3 is currently the latest because I don’t like upgrading Flutter in the middle of feature development. I prefer to upgrade at the start of new development.

I prefer to use VS Code as my IDE and text editor, and I still use light mode. #Dart #FlutterDev #larryism
