Despite Apple's polished WWDC presentations promising seamless development experiences, the reality often involves navigating buggy frameworks that aren't ready for practical use—even after the official release.

Hey all, I had a pretty wild debugging session recently and thought I'd write it up. Figured it might be helpful for anyone else in a similar late-night code crunch.
Let me know if it resonates with any of your experiences!

I wanted to make something special for my son's third birthday so I used what I know about mechanical, electrical, and software engineering to build a "Memory Box".
In this post, I talk about the technical details of creating it. If you have any feedback, I'd love to hear it. Thank you!

Every night, at 3 AM, my cat will meow and paw at the bedroom door like a banshee. I tried everything to get him to stop, including the off-the-shelf air sprayers that trigger with motion.
Eventually, I decided to build my own. I 3D printed a case and trigger for an air sprayer can, created some electronics with an ESP32 and RF trigger, and wrote my own "motion detection" logic - this time with an ultrasonic sensor, which works much better in the dark.
Now, the cat knows that a meow or paw will get him sprayed, and my wife and I can finally sleep!
I also built an air filtration system for my 3D printer, a level checker for my water softener, and a custom keepsake box that only opens with an RFID chip that you can read more about on my blog: https://www.mikebuss.com/blog
