Award Winning

Someone recently asked me if I could write an app for his business that would stand a reasonable chance of winning an Apple Design Award. Interesting question and not something any has asked me before. After thinking about it, I pointed out that the characteristics of the app that would

Thor: Love and Thunder

I didn't know anything about Thor: Love and Thunder, other than a vague notion that the movie existed. I just tried to watch it. It is unwatchable. I don't get it. Did someone lose a bet, and this movie was the result?

AGI Meets Apple TV

The real test for AGI will be whether it can implement an Apple TV app that works correctly with the focus engine without lengthy, repetitive, unproductive, aggravating cycles of retesting for hours on end. Or maybe that's "super intelligence".

Slapping my Past Self

You've perhaps heard the question, "If you could travel back in time, what would you tell your younger self?" People usually go deep—invest in Bitcoin early, don't date that person, call your grandparents more. Me? My answer has always been immediate and embarrassingly

Interviewing

I started the job search process last week. Or maybe it was the week before. The ideal job search process is to reach out to a colleague in a similar line of work, and get the inside track on an opening. With that in mind, I need to put more
