Welcome to this week's edition of our newsletter.

With WWDC25 one week closer, the community is continuing to buzz with hopes and ideas for the future of developer tools. Fatbobman shares his vision for the evolution of Xcode, where AI remains a recurring theme in developer discussions.

At first glance, it may seem like AI is on track to take over development itself but in this article, Bruno makes a strong case for why that won’t happen and will remain just a tool to boot productivity.

Deco

Sometimes, we dismiss ideas because they appear simple or trivial. However, when executed with clear intention and care, they can completely transform an experience into something unique and enjoyable, something we end up wanting at all costs.

Its style is reminiscent of Apple’s, yet it still manages to maintain its own character and identity.

The interactions are smooth, the customization options are nearly endless, and they allow us to express ourselves through the Lock Screen.
