Blood Oxygen comes back to the Apple Watch, with a catch

People really do change

I use AI agents to code, but I’m not a “vibe coder”
Simon Willison: Coding agents require skilled operators
Without the skilled individual, the “agent” is useless. It may as well not exist.
This is such a great observation. There’s a negative connotation to “vibe coding” out there today and while I think how I developed my apps could be be described as “vibe coding,” I

Don't learn the wrong lesson
