introduced a ribbon at the bottom of the viewport: now story ingredients don't overwhelm the screen and sessions can go on for longer. and it's so fun to interact with it!

Tiny interaction experiment: after a parent talks through the day, the app extracts possible story ingredients, then lets you nudge which ones belong in the book.

Trying to make the editing step feel more like play than prompt engineering.

stay grounded, keep cooking

the ai hype cycle is wild, and we all feel some anxiety — every week there's some new model that's supposedly gonna change everything and everyone's scrambling to keep up

but here's the thing: the fundamentals don't change. good design is still good design. solving real human problems, finding the ideal systems, making the best tools are still what matters.

same with competition: know what they're building, but don't watch too closely. the anxiety comes from thinking you have to chase every trend or copy every feature or you'll get left behind.

most trends are just noise. most competitor moves are just reactions to other reactions.

focus on what's always been true: understand your systems and users, solve real problems, build quality stuff with care. stay grounded in your values and let the technology serve your vision, not the other way around.

the best builders aren't the ones following every ai paper on twitter or obsessing over what others ship. they're the ones using whatever tools help them build the best thing for people.

make your own best thing. everything else is distraction.

Here’s to the crazy ones.

The misfits.

The rebels.

The troublemakers.

The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently.

They’re not fond of rules.

And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

They invent. They imagine. They heal.

They explore. They create. They inspire.

They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?

Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?

Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.

While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Can robots crusade for justice AND save our time and money? The home team sits down with @donotpay CEO & founder @joshuabrowder, who built AI backed "automated justice" software that helps customers sue robo-callers, fight evictions, and more.

@sharkaev_ph Скорейшего восстановления! 🙏

I really liked the emphasis on the idea that User-Agent should really be the one, acting on behalf and standing up for the safety and security of the human behind it.

I had a really great time at #WWDC2022 yesterday! All the wonderful people I met and this Fruit Company’s fantastic building will definitely be a source of inspiration and excitement for me for a long time!

@jonathandavis, it was a great pleasure meeting you in person! The conversation we had about the importance of avoiding false trade offs in implementing Web Standards changed my perspective and made me really appreciate the work the teams @Apple are doing!
