After a good and much enjoyed break, I'm looking for my next role as (Sr.) Principal Software Engineer/ Head of Engineering/ VP of Engineering in a product company to help them grow and make an impact on standards, DX and innovation.

Browsers and AI

Note this:

"At least one browser, Vivaldi, is holding out on the trend, explicitly rejecting AI integration due to concerns about accuracy, ethics, and environmental impact. Large language models “are essentially confident-sounding lying machines with a penchant to occasionally disclose private data or plagiarise existing work,” […] “As such, it does not feel right to bundle any such solution into Vivaldi.”
