Hold you and your brand to a higher standard in everything you do.

New skills and getting better at what you do will follow automatically.

Not sure why we need GenAI that creates photos with people in it. I understand using it to erase things, edit angles etc.

Why do we need these creepy AI-generated photos and videos with people in it, that too at a consumer OS level?

Up to* 100% more creepy #WWDC

The Apple software team needs an infusion of fresh blood. It just feels like they’re stuck in a loop, with great new ideas not gaining any traction internally.

It’s not fun seeing Apple play the catch-up game. #WWDC

Never been more excited about an infra project. A true engineering marvel this. 😍

[Chennai Updates @UpdatesChennai]

The metro beam connection over Kathipara & Chennai Metro Ph-1 line seems to have been completed...😍

[Rakeeb Rafeek @rakeeeeb]

While we wait for the execution, lovely to see a minister addressing corruption within PWD and infra projects as priority. Much appreciated.

The previous government in Andhra Pradesh wasted the people's mandate by not going for infrastructure and economic growth. Those 5 years were completely lost for the state. The current government, especially with the help of centre, has started running very fast.

Hoping that the same fate should not befall our state. Let us hope the policy makers understand how indispensable the new airport is for Chennai.

We are already way behind in airport infrastructure compared to other major cities. Stopping the project would make us permanently fall behind.

People don’t realize it’s quite the opposite. Quality of life improvements would help our low and lower middle class population who walk, use public transport, and need better standards of living than “elite” who can afford travel, gated communities, and “drive around”.

I wish people who say these things live on public transport for a couple of days first.

[Rakeeb Rafeek @rakeeeeb]

Best part of any city isn’t driving around. It’s being able to walk, with your loved ones. That’s the actual easy life. Every great city on earth promotes that life.

Going around in cars is a highway thing. May there be a coastal highway for that. We should understand these are two different things.

Curious if Spotify has seen a decrease in daily app opens after the new icon update. It’s everything an icon shouldn’t be 🤦‍♂️

“Anything that’s made has an impact on the world, whether you can buy it or not. It’s important to put your heart out and push things forward every time you make something” says Johny Ive.

A great point, actually.

Wonderful to be at Houston this week, talking to our customers across the US at this year’s Zoholics USA.

This is a very interesting and important moment for tech and software as a whole, and no better way to understand the pulse than talking to actual customers.

[Rakeeb Rafeek @rakeeeeb]

That settles it.
