@bbenko Can’t argue with that.

Also, don't you just love it when you ask Siri for info, and she responds she knows the answer but can only show you the results on your mobile device? 🫠

[Lora Benjak @lorabenjak]

So true, it seems Virtual Assistants have a really narrow scope, even before the whole AI hype. Typical use case for me: asking for the weather, turning on/off a device, and setting a timer. Not so exciting.

Time for some groundbreaking upgrades, I hope!

[Marques Brownlee @MKBHD]

I actually really hope 2024 is the year super useful virtual assistants take off though. It's been far too long since Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant, Bixby, etc took a meaningful leap forward

[Lora Benjak @lorabenjak]

@bbenko Agreed, this setup worked pretty well. Next time we need to try it out on FaceTime 🤓

[Lora Benjak @lorabenjak]

@bbenko Couldn’t have done it without all of you 🫶🏻

[Lora Benjak @lorabenjak]

@bbenko I was hoping all of this effort would result in a correct answer. Pretty cool experiment, though

@plavy2000 Not sure should I install the steam locomotive, or not 😂 As always, incredible blog post!

[Lora Benjak @lorabenjak]

@bbenko Great thread! 🙌 The ones I practice the most are traveling at night and visiting top sites at non-peak hours.

the best thing about dating someone who codes as someone who codes is that you now have an irl rubber duck that actually provides helpful feedback

@bbenko Renting a bike is also a nice option 🚲

[Lora Benjak @lorabenjak]

@monicapejic Yup, in one Facebook status I asked if anyone has some gum (what?) and I also repeatedly posted live updates while watching Home alone during the holidays 😂

[Lora Benjak @lorabenjak]

@plavy2000 Nicee, this is how it’s done! 💪

Agreed, that’s the only thing that will make me feel nostalgic about owning a Pixel phone.

Google Assistant is way more helpful than Siri.

[Marques Brownlee @MKBHD]

It's actually impressive how bad Siri still is

[Lora Benjak @lorabenjak]

If you make an honest mistake, it’s ok to say you’re sorry. Especially if you’re a mentor, a leader, or an expert in your field.

You’ll encounter more respect and build more trust. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s all fine.

Went to the @Trailblazersdev meetup yesterday, where @kelseyhightower reminded me how software development is often more about the people and less about the technology.

Having empathy is not a sign of weakness. It's a strength.

@monicapejic @Medium Yaaay! 🎉 Can’t wait for your next blog post
