Looks like I was 2 months too early with my post. @gruber.foo ignited a very interesting conversation.
I’ve noticed a lot of people have gone back to X/Twitter over the past few weeks. Does AT Proto have staying power if X doesn’t use it?

One of my career highlights has been incubating Swift on the server: contributing to the language, co-writing a book, and the WWDC launch.
Since then, full-stack Swift has reached a new milestone with the Server Side Swift SDK on Google Cloud, natively invoking APIs via ADC or Workload Identity.

We will not have AGI in my lifetime.. maybe ever. The human brain is undefeated
With the release of opus 5.5 today I am more convinced then ever that all our jobs are safe. I may change my mind in a few weeks. I will not be taking questions at this time.

I’m finally watching some of this year’s WWDC videos and it’s making me angry that LLMs exist. Coding in swift is so much fun.
