"The project I've been working on for the last two days counts as the third major product I've done using AI coding. Actually, it's more like the third major project set, because I added four premium add-ons to my WordPress security plugin, I built iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch apps for my 3D printer filament manager, and I've just made major inroads into a surprisingly powerful sewing pattern manager on iOS."
"Also: Xcode 26.3 finally brings agentic coding to Apple's developer tools I've found that when I work in a different AI environment, I like to work on a unique codebase. That way, I don't get different AIs confused about the same thing. So when Apple released its Xcode 26.3 candidate, supposedly with substantially enhanced AI integration, I needed a new project to work on with it."
Xcode 26.1's AI was unusable, while Xcode 26.3 represents a significant leap enabling agentic coding within Apple's developer tools. AI-driven migration produced massive change in under two days. A single operational rule—no background agents and frequent status updates—stabilized the process. Combining a tightly integrated AI assistant with voice dictation enabled building a powerful app with built-in machine learning capabilities. A sewing pattern manager was implemented to track paper and digital patterns using photography and NFC tags. Sewing patterns require many more attributes than 3D printer filament, and the sewing market is substantially larger.
