I post a lot about tech that I’m skeptical about, so let me cleanse the timeline with some tech I find genuinely awesome.
1. @swift.org (Especially web servers on Linux, and WASM in the browser. Full stack!)
2. @atproto.com (Open social with open APIs? Love it.)
3. @railway.com (Chef’s kiss.)
Swift System Metrics visualized in Grafana, demonstrating what's possible with real-time monitoring.
📐Announcing Swift System Metrics 1.0! 🎉 A stable API for process-level monitoring on Linux and macOS. Add it to your service in a few lines, plug into Prometheus or OTel, and start visualizing in Grafana. Contributions welcome! www.swift.org/blog/swift-s...
🤖 Here's my Swift APK plugin! Build a Package.swift into a fully functional Android APK in one command. I've added an example to start playing with.

🚨 solbachleads.de is looking for a Swift Server engineer! Strong expertise in PSQL & data processing required.
They're based in Bonn/Coluogne area. A candidate near Bonn/Cologne, and German proficiency are a plus. Remote is possible too.
@arcticconference.bsky.social was amazing! Certainly a top-tier conference. Most notably; a very funny and energetic MC who made it all extremely memorable.
I would love to go back next year; whether as speaker or attendee. It was a blast.
NL fucked up good today. I’ve never considered emigration more seriously.
🚀 Swift Rockies tickets are LIVE. This is the conference where Swift meets the physical world.
I'm showing you how to take Swift beyond iOS: servers, Android, embedded devices. Your Swift skills can power anything.

Me in a red coat and hat stands on a snowy hillside at sunset. The sky is a gradient of blue and orange, with a sun near the horizon casting long shadows. Valley of snow-covered trees visible in the distance.
A single, perfectly shaped snowflake resting on my black glove
Group of seven people smiling into the camera. Snow covered forest in the background. I’m to the far left, with a very frozen beard
Reindeer standing in a snowy enclosure, surrounded by wooden fences. Snow-covered evergreen branches hang above, and the reindeer's antlers and face are dusted with snow.
The actual @arcticconference.bsky.social hasn’t even started yet and its already been fantastic!
Swift on the web! 🚀 Very cool demo! youtu.be/OmQ881sOTIc?... #swiftlang #swift #swiftwasm #wasm
Get well soon!
@signalgaining just pushed a new library! TensorRT-Swift allows you to run various AI models on WendyOS or other Linux + NVIDIA machines.

We're working hard on improving it further, bringing high performance AI to all Swift developers.
Yep! That link is our starting point. Happy to answer any questions
Hey, look; @nick and Studioworks featured in a blog post on #swift .org!
I'm also still very happy with our choice of Swift for web development. https://mastodon.social/@swiftlang/115986854190607798
The past two weeks I've hit a new level with LLM-assisted coding. Found a feedback loop: define code standards -> add as Skills -> have Claude turn them into linter rules. The code quality is incredible.

MLX-Swift now works in CPU mode through SwiftPM! Here's an LLM running inside a Hummingbird app on my WendyOS device!
I'm very eager to finally announce WendyOS! Develop your first Embedded project in a few minutes, not hours or days!

Windows developers, you're invited! 🪟
We just launched a Windows workgroup to make Swift even better on Windows: improving the toolchain, core packages, API bridging, and deployment experiences.
Curious? Interested in contributing? You're welcome here. 👉 swift.org/blog/announcing-windows-workgroup/
A reminder:
Being silent doesn't make you neutral.
Being silent makes you side with the aggressor.
It's insane how Adolf Trump is still going, and ramping up. I'm sorry for all who live in the fourth reich right now.
Hummingbird is getting some big upgrades soon!
🎂 Improved Authentication (OAuth, Access Control)
⚙️ Durable Workflows Support
📒 Jobs & User Dashboarding
🤖 Admin Command Line tools
👀 Hummingbird 2 running alongside the device logs and metrics dashboard.
WendyOS Device discovery over BLE, LAN and USB!
Just a single `wendy run` away from launching Hummingbird 2 on my Raspberry pi!
Swift-WebSocket now supports HTTP and SOCKS proxies!

Skip, the SwiftUI for Android stack is now open source.
The post details how they are going to fund their future work:

hot take, if you want to give an OSS maintainer money, give them money. Github Sponsors exists, or you can literally ask them how/where to donate and everyone will be quite happy to share payment info.
