  • There’s speculation about iPadOS 26 potentially including a menu bar, and both speakers expressed hope for improvements to Stage Manager.
  • OpenAI’s Codex, now available on the plus platform, was discussed for its AI coding capabilities, with Jon sharing an experience of it detecting an “inconsistency” in his code that was an intentional change.
  • The speakers humorously compared the AI’s “helpful” persistence to a “code therapist”.
