CUPERTINO, CA — Senior software engineer Mark Chen was spotted lying in a hammock wearing sunglasses and sipping a coconut while his computer furiously types code based on his ‘chill aura’. Witnesses report the laptop has written three perfect apps while Chen worked on his tan.
“We realized that human typing is the biggest bug in software,” said Lisa Vance, VP of Vibe Integration. “With the new Xcode 26.3, we give AI agents like Claude full access to explore files. The developer just needs to emit a frequency of pure relaxation to guide the logic.”
“I actually wrote up an employee for opening his eyes,” explained Project Manager Gary Ford, pointing to a team of sleeping engineers. “His stress levels confused the AI and broke the login page. Now we require mandatory noise-canceling headphones to ensure the software compiles without anxiety.”
At press time, Chen received a promotion for deploying a critical security patch while technically comatose.
Inspired by the real story: Apple released Xcode 26.3 to let AI coding agents like Claude access and edit project files directly. Read the full story.
