Spending $850 vibe coding to-do list apps hoping to get rich is just one notch above spending the money on lottery tickets. While execution is now “free” due to vibe coding, it also means every software category will be hyper competitive. Your AI slop app is just more noise to users.

I think the Gates essay on AI is worth your time. I suspect/fear we will look back on this as wishful. But nonetheless, I am heartened to hear powerful voices like this, independent of how you feel about them personally, and I think it is a good sign.

I think every major company is looking at open weight AI models and realizing they can just bring them in house with an internal engineering team and cut out the frontier model companies to save money. They have more control and privacy. I really don't see frontier labs surviving this.

I'm going to start calling myself a "designovert"
“Jobs, however, was convinced that this could be Apple’s next big hit. Jony Ive worked up 20 prototype designs of various sizes. The new product couldn’t actually be a big iPod Touch, because the aspect ratio (proportions) of its tall, skinny screen weren’t a good fit for newspapers, magazines, and TV viewing. Ive and Jobs settled on 4:3 proportions, which suggested a sheet of paper or a book—and when rotated 90 degrees, a TV screen.
This time, recovering from his liver transplant, Jobs didn’t have the health or the energy to oversee every detail, as he had on the iPhone. When he was too sick to come in to work, the team visited him at home to show him their progress.
“And as we started showing him slides and designs, the energy just came,” Forstall says. “He would stand up and be like, ‘Oh, what about this?’ You talk about people who are extroverts and introverts—extroverts get their energy when they’re in a crowd, and introverts get their energy from being alone? Steve was like a designovert. He got his energy when he was designing.”

I'm still writing code the hard way. I'm slow. I like to think critically about every line of code and fiddle with variable names until everything looks right. I treat code as a liability and try to ship only what's necessary. It's hard to imagine writing code any other way.

I still think that McCrossan commentating the #TourDeFrance provides no added value. Nicolas Roche is superb however and always course correcting his co-host on false or wrong disclosures.

I have the Google FitBit Air for close to a month. But I'm so irritated by the app: wrong data, refresh not working, AI coach not in sync or providing repeated useless advice. So I decided to start this vibing project on the side. A new iOS app that interacts with your Google Health data.
