What of your AI could speak for you? Excited to share my upcoming startup. You are invited to join the waitlist! Orkit.ai

“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

I written up a little piece on how few things we need to know about talking to LLMs.

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.

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

There is a billion dollars per DAY being invested in the AI space today. — Peter Diamandis in his Moonshots podcast, 23. April

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.

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.

„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…

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

🥱 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?

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.

Finally, social media that's billionaire-proof. ⚡ Bluesky's first IRL ads spotted in @boston.gov @mbta.com.

Just a little update on my first brand experiments. Even though this image doesn’t reveal much yet, how do you like the style? Does it resonate with you? Stay tuned—exciting things are coming!

Interesting article here by Andrew Chen, talking about the moat of Core Ai models vs. that of the products built around them. andrewchen.substack.com/p/revenge-of...

How comfortable are you with instruments? In this week's newsletter I share a lesson about performance testing that I learned last week: https://www.donnywals.com/newsletters/fMnm7DmdaEl2YxkRXhogMA/

In times of algorithm-pleasing, short attention spans (where people cut out 0.5-second breathing breaks from their recipe videos) and the unification of everything, where everything looks the same... ...this is even more beautiful. A piece of art and even an eye-opener. @strasser.bsky.social

Strong founder story. Consistency, courage, self-belief, strength, persistency. They really earn it. youtu.be/Gv2fzC96Z40?...

I built longer.blue a month ago. It's a tool that lets you post on Bluesky beyond its character limit by linking to a full message. I never really advertised it properly. I’d love your support! A repost would help. ❤️

Dayvy won't trick you into subscriptions - unlike so many others now 🤑. No forgotten cancellations after too short test periods. No paywalls thrown in your face after 3 seconds. There’s more to building trust. This was clear to me from day one of building my first mobile app.
