What AI coding costs you | Tom Wojcik What's the effect of the prolonged AI usage among coders and is it tracked correctly, if it all?

Great read on using or not using AI! tomwojcik.com/posts/2026-0...

Makes sense! I think I spend too much time messing with spacings and aligning everything perfectly that for me it's easier to just do it in code 😅

Well said! Thank you 😊

Kind of you to say that Dan, thank you! It would probably take me the same amount of time 😅 I also obsess over every single pixel.

You're designing the app UI in Sketch? I somehow find it easier to just do in SwiftUI directly.

No, I just go straight to Sketch 😅
But I have been thinking about this recently, drawing it by hand on an iPad and then creating it in Sketch

26.02.2026 00:16 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

I’m not a designer, and definitely not an expert in Sketch, but I’ve always enjoyed drawing. My basic skills get me where I need to go.

While AI could generate app icons in minutes, I genuinely love designing them myself, and that’s something I’m not ready to give up yet.

Shipped Nunch 2.4 🚀
Finally added barcode scanning (long overdue), reworked onboarding, and moved the app to a freemium model with some personalization behind a subscription.

I'm really enjoying watching the Korean Culinary Class Wars tv show on Netflix.

I love how older chefs embrace challenges, their humility, and the sheer amount of respect they all have towards each other even tho they are competing against. Such an interesting culture.

"How to Get Your Conference Talk Proposal Noticed"

I recently had the opportunity to review CFPs for an upcoming conference. After going through hundred of proposals, I noticed a couple of things that set the good ones apart.

One of my favorite parts of winter is eating delicious winter food 😄

"Sarma" is a delicious cooked meal made by wrapping meat filling in sour cabbage leaves. Smells like home 😊
