The future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed. I see plenty of developers insisting AI coding tools are overhyped and error-prone. But I’m also starting to see the opposite, people who’ve fully embraced them and now find they’re so good it’s triggering a real crisis of confidence.

Time for my big year end blogpost about the Atmosphere. From the personal computing perspective, the cloud has been a disaster — but we shouldn't run away from it. We can solve a lot of problems by connecting our clouds, turning it into atmospheric computing.

Atmospheric Computing
Cloud computing has been extremely successful, but it lost the values that drove personal computing. We can solve this by evolving forward.
