They’re adding vibecoded shortcuts (the high level scripting for Apple devices). Hopefully that means they worked out some of the long-existing bugs and missing features, but I’m not optimistic. Still, could be a useful tool, especially for less tech-literate people.

If they are ok with shortcuts being vibecoded, maybe it's time to expose a proper programming language to the end users as well.

All my automation shortcuts can be easily explained in pseudo code under 5 minutes, but it took me ages to put them together because that weird UI/UX forcing me to drag-and-drop squares around to manipulate data structures. Programmers hate it, non-programmers can't understand it, it is not designed for anybody.

It increases the value app developers might get out of offering shortcut actions - similar to how the advent of MCPs seems to have kicked a bunch of SaaS vendors into offering a clean API, the advent of Siri being able to tap into shortcut actions - and script them - might make it feel more worthwhile to app devs to open up deep functions.

Just updated to see if I could make a shortcut to toggle `Reduced White Point` accessibility shortcut.

"Try describing something different for the shortcut."

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it still doesn't work.

How long until they allow sandboxed vibecoded apps?

Seems like the logical next step
