When I started building apps in 2009, Xcode Instruments was part of my job, and I used it every day. Devices were slower, and apps needed instruments to be usable at all. We’re spoiled with today’s devices, but with AI writing more and more of our code, I believe it’s essential to know how to use Xcode Instruments.

I wish I learned this earlier: custom CoPilot instructions have been a great impact on my open-source repositories. Tiago Henriques explains how it works.
I often find myself using default sheet sizes, whereas a custom size looks much more solid with less whitespace. I’m bookmarking this technique by Daniel Saidi!
App Shortcuts, App Intents, I expect these to become much more powerful after #WWDC26. Shankar Madeshvaran explains how you can create and style them today.
How about refreshing your knowledge of the SwiftUI scrolling API just before #WWDC26? Natalia Panferova’s article contains solid screenshots and code examples for an easy-to-digest explanation.
If there’s one wish I have for #WWDC26, it’s faster releases for Xcode. Decoupling it from Swift versions would be required for this, and Max Seelemann recommends it as a step forward for Apple.
With new iOS 27 APIs around the corner, you’ll benefit soon from this deprecation technique from Majid Jabrayilov. Instead of rewriting all your code right away, you can mark it as deprecated and allow progressive migration.
Whenever I release major updates to my apps, I always give myself the time to polish and improve. I like Learn by Shipping, which allows me to move fast. However, it also brings in risks like instability and improvement potential.
Many platforms that I use for observation allow me to connect to agents. I can use Amplitude's MCP for analytics reviewing, Sentry MCP for stability insights, and Astro's MCP for ASO improvements reviews.
Besides fixing incoming bugs and support email reports, I'd like to ask my agents:
This is just an example prompt, but it gives me massive insights. A follow up prompt would be:
And that's how I'm constantly evolving.
Being able to connect observation platforms to my project's code & release history is a massive step forward that I had to do manually a few months ago. It's basically plan, build, review, compound: a continous loop. Improving 1% every single day will make you so much better in a year from now!
