Overheard water cooler convo at work about AI baby rockers and how they react to the baby’s movements and how they are surprisingly effective and sometimes I really feel like I’m in a black mirror episode.

We're up to 600 responses for our developer survey! If you're a dev in Japan, and haven't taken it yet, please do. Also, sharing it with your colleagues would help immensely. The wider the reach it gets, the more meaningful insights we can provide. https://t.co/lvLJA9Q4pv

The 2024 edition of the TokyoDev Developer Survey is now live! If you’re a software developer living in Japan, please help us by taking it. All questions are optional, and we expect it to take less than 10 minutes to complete. https://t.co/lvLJA9Q4pv

Last week I was doing Dutch wordle thinking it was English wordle and I still got it right in four tries.
