Allow me to share a few pics of our rabbit. This is our bunny Ollie. He’s a rescue. English spot mix.
We never even considered having any kind of pet (having kids is already overwhelming) but one of our daughters (19 yo) decided to get a bunny over the spring. His name was Panther. We had to say goodbye to Panther way too soon and let me say, I never expected to have experienced grief like that over my daughter’s pet. But here we are. Ollie is helping us heal.
When I buy a new laptop, it’s always a MacBook Pro. I might never compile code on it or run sophisticated music or video editing software on it. Heck, I’ll probably only ever browse the web, check email, and pay bills with it.
So why waste money on such an over-powered machine? Simple: I’m afraid of it becoming obsolete too soon. I reckon over-doing it on the specs will get me an extra couple of years out of it. ¯(°_o)/¯
Apparently, due to the AWS outage, someone was able to rob the Louvre. They should not have chosen US-EAST-1.
You heard it here first.
Happy 4th of July, y’all! 🇺🇸
GenAI Application Engineers
Andrew Ng over at DeepLearning.ai has a quick rundown of what businesses will be looking for in software engineers. He’s calling them “GenAI Application Engineers” and they have these three key skills:
1️⃣ Deep familiarity with a broad ecosystem of AI tools.
2️⃣ Proficiency in AI-assisted coding (e.g., Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code).
3️⃣ Strong product/design instincts to iterate on prototypes quickly.
I’d just add that part of the product and design instincts will also include the engineer’s ability to orchestrate AI tools / agents to build and iterate on said product and design. It’s almost as if engineers will slowly take on the role EMs and be in charge of managing their own little team of agents. I find that pretty cool and interesting.
Behold, the legacy of SaaS
This is why Apple Intelligence sucks.
From now on, my age will be year-based. I am now 25.
