“I write because I don't know what I think until I read what I say.” —Flannery O'Connor. What a fascinating sentence.

So sad that this platform never took off. I am seeing almost zero posts from anyone I follow.

In software: Why do so many think you can serve either consumers or prosumers? Either workplace or personal? Either enterprise or creator? Either B2B or B2C? I don’t see it. We can build adaptable UIs, UXs, marketing funnels and perspectives. We build cars for everyone too.

Prompt Engineering? Sounds difficult. But most of the time, it’s just about clear communication. And it’s easy once you know a few basics. I’ve learned one thing: average in = average out. Let me show you the most important aspects of my learnings: lnkd.in/euWFRi26

Why speaking computers? Conversational AI shines most where natural interaction is needed but simply missing: Rusty chatbots in the bottom right corner Waiting on hold Minutes long phone menus No one answering at all Voicemail Soon, all of these will be a thing of the past.

We have just launched an AI meetup in Hamburg, Germany. No slides, no talks, just interesting conversations with nice people. We call it: The Prompting Club Next round: October 2nd DMs are open if you happen to be in Hamburg and would like to join for inspiring chats about AI.

I would feed the links (or texts, not sure if the Apple docs are parseable by AIs yet) to an AI and start asking questions. What are the most important X. And why and where. How do people Y? Why does Apple want us to pay attention to Z?

AI doubles its capabilities every 6 mon. And we humans are not wired to grasp exponential functions. 500B are expected to flow into OpenAI’s infra alone over the next 4 years. …Meanwhile, in Europe, we’re busy discussing the next set of regulations after the cookie banner.

This is a seriously interesting and fascinating outlook into the nearer future. Based on scientific research, it’s been called a paper, but reads almost like a documentary. There’s an audio version, too. Highly recommended 💡🚀. (But not without unthinkable worst case scenarios.) ai-2027.com

Naming is so hard - in overcrowded namespaces everywhere. I do really like this name. Many criteria fulfilled. Short, rememberable, story-telling, etc.

Timo @timohere.bsky.social · 13/04/2025

I actually write a lot of code, too. Prompt results are often too far away from a working or efficient solution. Architecture becomes messy too soon. Very close, but too often just not functional. But in Typescript it becomes more of a rewriting or changing based on a good basis.

Timo @timohere.bsky.social · 13/04/2025

Probably the most difficult aspect of working in different programming eco systems in parallel: Dependency hell. AIs are really good at taking over these parts.

100

Timo @timohere.bsky.social · 13/04/2025

I work in 4+ languages now. With control and arch decisions still 100% on my end. Will release two complex products this year. Simply not possible 2 years ago. 🤯 Looking forward to this episode! It’s easy to step into the not-yet-possible trap - happens to me all the time.

Timo @timohere.bsky.social · 13/04/2025

In my recent particular work in Swift, being 8 years into it, the AIs were perfect discussion partners for me, even better in complex UIKit matters, than in SwiftUI. Never really delivered working code architecture for me. Typescript, Python, even Golang: Entirely different story.

And that applies to phone carriers, too.

The deeper you dive into programming in different languages and domains, the more you realize: Everything in the tech world is a wrapper. Around something that was there before.

Working in Swift can only be loved. Ie. type safety is so much ahead of any other experience I’ve gained. The right balance of {}()_; nightmares. 100 things. Nevertheless, for years it was wondering if Apple works on Xcode. Now this: firebase.studio Seriously worried about Apples edge.

👩‍🏫👨‍🏫 Learning. Fascinating when you think about it: Teaching and learning historically was in a one-to-one relation. Think master and apprentice, etc. Then came one-to-many. School systems, unis, book and readers. Then many-to-many. The internet. Now: Trend leans towards one-to-one again.

Timo @timohere.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

Swift Friends! Honestly, it is simply the most beautiful and solid language to work with. I am now using 4 languages. Swift, TypeScript, Go and Python. Imagine more people outside of the Apple ecosystem would be able to experience the difference.

120

Timo @timohere.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Totally agree. I’ve searched for it: the episodes are actually real one-shots. No VFX. It took up to 16 takes (ie 1 take = about 1h) to get it right. Plus extensive rehearsals before shooting. The actors and crew went through some serious work here.

„Eine Frage der Fragestellung“ is something I found to be an important learning in life. It translates directly to „A question of questioning“ and means „A matter of how you ask the question“. It‘s never been more true than in the AI age. Wrong question, wrong answer…

Timo @timohere.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

Swift developers, is anyone using a Vapor server deployed via Fly.io? How‘s it in practice - including over longer periods?

After 15 years of Wacom pen and mouse, I am trying to learn proper 10 finger touch typing. 4 fingers used blindly and a few other key strokes can be fast. But not fast enough. ⌨️ 🐌 Now 10 fingers. Baby steps ahead: www.keybr.com

Oh Nika, what a surprise. Blender modelling seems nice. Despite that, it is so frustratingly unintuive - I can’t believe how messy. Stay strong! I say that as someone having used all big 3d, comp and animation softwares 15y+. Blender is beautiful in particular individual modules and FREE.

Over the past 8 years I have researched hundreds and hundreds of names. With one particular provider I‘ve experienced the „What a coincidence - someone reserved it a few days later“-moment more than once.

Claude: „This practice has been controversial in the industry. ICANN (…) has investigated these claims, and some registrars have faced criticism or legal action over such practices. While many legitimate registrars operate ethically, there have been documented cases of search data being misused.“

Timo @timohere.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Domain and SEO experts, what are the dark practices in domain registrations? Is it as I suspect? Do certain domain providers collect domain search inquiries, evaluate interesting ones, and offer them to a select clientele? To buy, park, and resell before the honest market does?

🥱 Why are Sign-Ins tiny? What I never understood about current UX practices: Why are so many Sign-IN links so tiny and text-only while the Sign-UP links are big fat red buttons? Is it not worth to present a nice open door for already paying customers?

Via the new MCP ModelContextProtocol - does Xcode provide a server? Or is that the computer-use thing?

Git covers software dev. GDrive works for smaller files or cloud docs. Notion brings their wonderful document approach. Figma does for UI and co. what Adobe didn’t see coming. Media productions: Almost nothing except highly specialized assets managers or DropBoxes with video players.

Timo @timohere.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

Both customer and team collab in media-based work remain a total chaos in 2025. Even more so in the age of remote teams, where companies with on-premise infrastructure sadly and slowly begin to fade away. I believe I’ve got solutions. Anyone wants to invest :)? Coming back to this in 2026ff.

Timo @timohere.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

I’ve just read an article on swift.org forums. Swift Wasm seems very interesting. I think it would be a good move for Apple to invest more into helping get Swift out into the world. Besides that, I imagine we’ll see a certain degree of language-independence soon. When AI translates.

000

Timo @timohere.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

I‘ve never checked out Wasm. I’m curious, is it already far enough (also in combo with Swift) to be used as an alternative for JS (I mean React, Vue, Svelte, etc.)?

100

Timo @timohere.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

So much more fun than TypeScript, Python or Go for example. Still kinda sad, that Swift is still so limited to the Apple ecosystem.

310

Timo @timohere.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

Anyone of you working with Adobe products? I’ve been using a lot of them them professionally for more than 15 years. Today, If I were them, I would apologize to my user base. Their strategy to trick customers into a year plan can only cost them a lot of people’s trust. Mine for sure.

I won’t get that idea out my head now. 🤯 Something that translates to JSON or cURL commands, to Script or compiler code universal on any platform, with knowledge about any framework or lib.
