The reason why Monday’s keynote was so shaky cam and Lo-fi is pretty obvious. It’s to not make it look like AI generated. Imperfection is human.

Over the next few years we’ll see a shift away from design systems, and elaborately meticulous design.

More hand drawn and incongruent visuals are going to be popular.

Attended my first WWDC, as a student scholar back in 2016. This was 10 years ago. Feels like yesterday.

The reason why Apple’s developer community thrives today, is simply because how welcoming it is. Over the years I have gone from being a young student to someone who has been around for now 15 years, and I have never felt out of place.

Perhaps one of the biggest reasons is indie developers. Independence of thought and ideas is a beautiful thing, that leads to kinder people.

LookUp celebrated its 12th Birthday last week. Over the last 12 years if there's one thing I have learnt from LookUp, it's that iteration is the most important skill in making apps. There's no such thing as a perfect app.

It's fitting then that some of the most often requested features of the app, should release in the week of the app's 12th anniversary. Excited to have people try out LookUp's menu bar app, and Flash Card quizzes.

You know why none of the AI hardware is ever gonna be as big as the iPhone? It’s the hubris.

People working on AI hardware think they’re rock stars already. They’re flush with money, and are on the power trip of being “ex-Apple, ex-Google, ex-OpenAI, ex-insertBigAICompany”.

The people making the iPhone didn’t think they’re making the next big thing in tech. At least not in that moment.

This will be so much fun!
