Mavrick OS
Hello
Just a little food for thought... If you use the new Mavrick OS on a MAC do you like it? or hate it? Why and Why not? I would like to hear how software developers feel about this.

Jack, I haven't tried Mav yet but am excited both about it and the strategy behind it. What are your thoughts about it? I look forward to this discussion.

Jack, How are your explorations into Mavrick coming along? I have a 2008 MacBookPro running 10.6.8. I'm thrilled to see that I can switch to Mavrick since 10.6.8 was the terminal OS supported by this hardware. I'm very interested to hear what you've learned ... and others here at Codetown! All the best, Michael Levin

Hi Jack - I am considering loading Mavericks onto my '08 MacBook Pro. I wonder whether it will run efficiently. Any ideas? /Mike
Happy 10th year, JCertif!

Uber’s uSpec uses AI agents and the Figma Console MCP to automate design specs, cutting documentation time from weeks to minutes. Integrated with the Michelangelo platform, it uses a GenAI Gateway for PII redaction, ensuring data stays local. This reflects a 2026 industry shift between Uber’s "Visual-First" Figma workflow and a "Guide-First" approach favored by developers using agentic IDEs.

By Craig RisiAI Coding Assistants Haven’t Sped up Delivery Because Coding Was Never the Bottleneck
Agoda recently published an observation arguing that while AI coding tools have measurably raised individual developer output, the resulting velocity gains at the project level have been surprisingly modest, because coding was never the real bottleneck. The post claims that the bottleneck has shifted upstream to specification and verification because these areas require human judgment.
