A perspective on how functionality can be isolated so iteration becomes fast while a sense of ownership remains on your side. https://t.co/XqqkcTWW5I

“Scaling Software Architecture For Vibe Coders” A book that needs to exist now. It’s not about writing code that works anymore. It’s about creating it in a way that you can feel accountable for. A path forward for your project to grow without losing control.

@klemensstrasser That's amazing. Congrats! 👏🙌

[Bernd Plontsch @berndplontsch]

Anybody who tried the Even G1 glasses translation feature in everyday life, e.g. in Japan? Curious how well it delivers its promise.

[Bernd Plontsch @berndplontsch]

Vibe coding. Okay!

I like how having a new term for this creates a category we can approach with a fresh mind. Instead of fragmenting “programming” further and creating this endless battle between the old and new style. Both can coexist happily.

[Bernd Plontsch @berndplontsch]

yes.

wrote up some thoughts on how our interfaces are getting flatter, and how we might design with 💃 our bodies 🤸 in mind

Are you looking for a room in Berlin, Prenzlauer Berg for 2 years starting December? Please reach out via DM for details.

✨ how might we combine our familiar, deterministic interfaces with the new, fluid capabilities of LLMs?

Some musings that have been rattling around my brain for a while. Taking inspiration from how nature transitions between hard & soft materials.

[Bernd Plontsch @berndplontsch]

@Wattenberger Wow, such a great post. Very inspiring. I especially enjoyed the nature metaphors you found bridging the hard and soft 👏

[Bernd Plontsch @berndplontsch]

But also shocking how quickly you become super lazy and implement the simplest of HTML changes using prompting instead of basic code entry.

[Bernd Plontsch @berndplontsch]

Started using Cursor. That combination of git and prompt based code generation creates such a nice balance between magic and full control/transparency.

[Bernd Plontsch @berndplontsch]

@samdape No need to dream. You could implement this as a Launcher on Android...

[Bernd Plontsch @berndplontsch]

Great conversation with the @Humane founders. Regardless of its current state, I have huge respect for the thoughtfulness and ambition of creating products to enable greater presence for people. Clearly, something we all need more of… https://t.co/9tl5zhHbPV

Is this the moment where we stop collecting information for future recall but primarily to enforce and inform our own personal models to come?

[Bernd Plontsch @berndplontsch]

What’s the best way to add LLM/OpenAI support to an iOS app without having users bother handling API keys themselves?

(hoping it's not a app subscription + hosting a backend for handling throtting and LLM connection)

[Bernd Plontsch @berndplontsch]

maybe @playdate is the GPT client we've all been waiting for.

[Bernd Plontsch @berndplontsch]

@zachwaugh Oh no, how sad. Very sorry to hear. The app looks great.

@JustMeDevin Love It!✨ How did you manage to connect with the Lunar. Are you using the SDK or were you able connect via CoreBluetooth directly?
