I am a polite software developer and I am always committed to the bit. I will be your favorite app maker’s favorite app maker.

I am enamored by user-facing software, especially mobile, and especially iOS. Swift is my current weapon of choice but I will use any made-up word to solve any problem. I ship my side projects for free.

I run this single-user Mastodon instance in good faith and I intend to keep it that way.

Bands I tried to like while growing up because I thought it would make me cool but I ultimately found to be weirdly joyless:

- Arcade Fire
- The xx
- Radiohead
- Sigur Rós
- Animal Collective
- Neutral Milk Hotel

This is obviously unverifiable and very easy to fake, but supposedly someone saved the leaked post before it was taken down.

Good bye 👋🏻

Of course Apple will sell ads in Maps. There is no more headroom to grow revenue majorly through hardware sales. If a company has maxed out what they can earn through hardware and software quality then other screws need to be tightened. Companies need to grow endlessly because if there are no growth prospects then people will invest their money into a different vehicle that will more assuredly grow. We all need the S&P 500 to double every 11 years to be able to retire. https://mister.computer/@kyle/113680357412665859

Historically bad placement for a toilet roll holder.
A nonzero amount of modern youth listlessness, hopelessness, anxiety, and young male social disengagement is certainly caused by a dramatic increase in exposure to weed. Adults, whatever, make your own peace with yourselves. But the access kids in middle school and high school have these days is several orders of magnitude greater than at any other time.
The present level of AI systems have landed us in a quagmire of plausibility.
I have had the same haircut for 12 years and the same glasses (different prescriptions) for 6 years. I guess this is what I look like. I am become unc.
The Sora news got all the headlines, but more interesting is that Altman says they’re preparing a model that will “meaningfully accelerate the economy,” and they renamed their product org to AGI Deployment. Let us hope this is a Facebook -> Meta move 🤞🏻
