I’ve mentioned on LinkedIn and sharing here as well.
Over the coming weeks, you may notice my name changing across platforms from Daniel Schutzsmith to Daniel Hayes Smith.
As part of a major life transition, including a divorce process that is currently underway, I’ve decided to move forward using my birth last name, Smith, as part of this next chapter in both life and career.
While my name is changing, my mission remains the same: using technology to help governments, nonprofits, and communities better serve the public.
I’m grateful for the people, projects, and experiences that brought me here, and excited for what comes next!

I just built an app for macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS with Claude Design and then Opus 5.5 in about 5 hours. My actual time was about 45 minutes.
All native in Xcode.
This is bonkers 🤯
What are we even doing here anymore?!?!?!

Every developer community goes through the death cycle.
People leave, adapt, or live a slow and usually anxious career death.
Some will remain and they might be the historians down the road or the new generation of “COBOL retirees”.
Why anyone thought the party would last for ever is beyond me.
ALT Slide from DHH that says “Retired Professional Programmer 2001 - 2026”
So @dhh just told 1000 rails programmers “accept that it’s over”
Last words of the opening #railsworld keynote were “don’t be a f*cking loser” and then he walks off
Glad I’ve been through the existential dread phase already, cos I’m ready to run through a damn wall right now!!

The cicadas are really rattling today in the Tampa area. At the cardiologist waiting on results and these rattles are so loud and unsettling. I thought these things aren’t suppose to be awake for a few more years?

I want to love @linear but it feels like overkill on small teams. Anyone finding it rediculously useful?
Im inclined just to see about using project management features in Github or Gitlab instead.

I still can’t believe this is possible!
Just posted this from Grok in Apple CarPlay mode — voice-first coding. It created a new public GitHub repo and pushed the starter code I described out loud. No hands on the keyboard.

MDD
Motivation
Driven
Development
@theo said something that really stuck with me when discussing how he chooses PRs, “I’m gonna be real here. One of the things I optimize for is preventing loss of motivation.”
I felt that.
It’s the constant ying and yang of building with AI to maintain motivation and reduce frustration while getting maximum output as automated as possible.
So, I’m officially starting to practice MDD for the foreseeable future. 🎉
