¨ FASTER MOBILE RELEASES WITH AUTOMATED QA (SPONSOR) [4]

Manual testing on personal devices is TOO SLOW AND TOO LIMITED. It
forces teams to CUT RELEASES A WEEK EARLY just to test before
submitting them to app stores. And without broad device coverage,
issues slip through.

QA Wolf's [5] AI-NATIVE SERVICE delivers 80% AUTOMATED TEST COVERAGE
IN WEEKS [6], with tests running on REAL IOS DEVICES and ANDROID
EMULATORSÄall in 100% PARALLEL with ZERO FLAKES. [7]

¨ QA cycles reduced to just 15 minutes

¨ Multi-device + gesture interactions fully supported

¨ Reliable test execution with no flakes or false positives

¨ Zero flakes, human-verified bug reports

Engineering teams MOVE FASTER, releases stay on track, and testing
happens automaticallyÄso developers can focus on building, not
debugging.

ANTHROPIC LAUNCHES A NEW AI MODEL THAT `THINKS' AS LONG AS YOU WANT
(5 MINUTE READ) [9]

Anthropic's Claude 3.7 Sonnet model is designed to 'think' about
questions for as long as users want it to. It can give both real-time
answers and more considered, thought-out answers to questions. The
model is rolling out to all users and developers, but only premium
users will have access to its reasoning features. It will cost $3 per
million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens, making it more expensive than OpenAI's o3-mini and DeepSeek's R1.

breathe.

JSON HAS BECOME TODAY'S MACHINE-READABLE OUTPUT FORMAT ON UNIX (2
MINUTE READ) [15]

JSON has a bunch of pragmatic virtues in a modern UNIX system. It
provides a clear and basically unambiguous way to represent text and
most numeric data, and it's also generally extensible. There are
increasingly more tools to deal with and process JSON and it can
generally be transformed to various other formats if needed. Designing
a machine-readable output format is somewhat more complicated than it
looks - using JSON means that people writing programs don't have to
design their own formats.

APPLE EXEC PHIL SCHILLER TESTIFIES THAT HE RAISED CONCERNS OVER APP
STORE COMMISSIONS ON WEB-BASED SALES (3 MINUTE READ) [17]

Phil Schiller, the executive in charge of leading Apple's App Store,
testified in court that he had originally raised concerns about the
27% commission that Apple planned to charge app developers on
purchases made outside the App Store. He had claimed that it would be
a potential compliance risk and that the fee would create an
antagonistic relationship between Apple and developers. It would also
require Apple to have audit rights to check whether companies owe
Apple money for transactions that took place outside the App Store.
Apple's pricing committee ultimately decided to charge the commission
despite Schiller's concerns.
