Some thoughts from me below about switching to Bitrig from Codex! If you're on the fence, just try it: if you get blocked, you can continue your conversation in the Codex app 🙌
Definitely understand the skepticism! It's hard to switch tools Some thoughts: - Your setup should come along with you - ping me if it doesn't! MCPs, skills, etc. should "just work" - We update the version of Codex Bitrig uses a lot to stay on top of things. For example, we try to add new models same-day and new features as quickly as we can (e.g. we added support for async-questions with Astra within a couple days) - Bitrig definitely feels better for Apple platform development. You won't appreciate how well we integrated the simulator until you try to go back to Codex without it 😉 and the agentic sim-use is super helpful (esp. since our sim-use is very fast and token efficient compared to others) - Codex .app is still better for *very* long-running tasks (>8h). We're working on this, but the long-tail of task length is hard to do well! They have optimized great for this in perf. and in reliability - You can go back-and-forth between Bitrig/Codex because your conversations show up in both! So if you try Bitrig and get blocked, just open the conversation in Codex (and I'd love if you tell me what issue you hit so we can make it better)

Does anyone actually know why they changed it???
In iOS 26, the scroll edge effect default is .soft. In iOS 27, it is .hard.

Does anyone know why on earth Apple would add the hard edge back to the nav bar? I feel like there has to be a reason but I just can’t imagine one

How does everyone plan their days? I love having the freedom to choose what I do but the planning side of it all gets exhausting sometimes

I guess changing passwords isn't as hard as I thought... ...updating 100+ passwords in one day will do that though lol

I’m deep in the Dynamic Island trenches right now and curious to know why @flighty has the “56m” take up extra space vs hugging the island here? It doesn’t look bad this way, but, after studying the HIG, I can’t help but wonder if it could look even better.

Decided to lock in and grind before sunrise today 💪 (I got stranded in Richmond because my @SouthwestAir flight home got cancelled and I really really want to go to sleep but it’s okay because I can cope by pretending to be a startup bro influencer painmaxxing for the clout)

Hearing Uncle Bob proclaim reading code as dead makes me feel more than a little sad. After reading Clean Code, I found so much joy in writing beautiful code that I came to love the process even more than whatever end result I happened to be working towards. Agents have unlocked a new sort of flow for me lately, but I think a part of me will always miss that feeling of writing code by hand and trying to perfect every single last piece of a code base. Honestly I’m just glad I wasn’t around to go from assembly to modern languages because my heart probably couldn’t have taken it 😂
Replying to @ori_pomerantz
I’m significantly older than you. I started coding in the late 60s. My current strategy is to not read any of the code written by my agents. That’s the only way I can take advantage of their productivity. What I do instead is to surround the agents with extreme constraints. Unit tests, gherkin tests, QA procedures, quality metrics, mutation testing, test coverage, and a plethora of others. In the end, I have very high confidence in the code they produce because they’ve had to run the gauntlet of all of my constraints and tests.

Do you guys have your agents always using revyl for the integration side of iOS development? Or do you use XcodeBuildMCP + the local simulator when it’s convenient? @tryrevyl
