@aaron_epstein @bradflora 100% things exactly how it feels to me. 2022: “Oh, would be so cool, but not worth the trouble” 2026: “Oh, would be so cool, let me spin up an agent and see where this goes”
@ericmigi That was Apple Intelligence’s dubdub ‘24 unveil, no?
Ok, first “woah” (although simple), Apple flexing platform advantage: Ask Siri what’s on screen (from any app). Siri AI pops out of notch and helps right there with context what’s going on on phone. You know how many times I have taken screenshots to upload to ChatGPT/Claude?
@ericmigi age old first vs. best implementation of a technology
Go Knicks! 🗽 I don't even follow Basketball nor have a TV lol but the excitement here is contagious.
@BenceRedmond Yeah I tend to agree. No real advantage of making it in-line.
What do you think about this effect to reveal additional info? Found it interesting. Sharing some micro UX thoughts in-thread …
@cassidoo You learned from the best!
Missed opportunity to use a different mouse cursor on hover. Currently using the standard, but could show the browser-built-in question mark cursor? Can sometimes feel a bit heavy but it maps pretty directly to "hover to discover additional information."
Don't love the underline on hover. Underline in a browser pretty strictly indicates link to me. But it's not clickable, so the affordance feels off.
Woah, 30min in, WWDC total snooze fest so far 🥲
@paulg Clever! But that still would mean that watches are all about the movement (obviously not true), and that mechanical movements have not developed since quartz (evidently not true). Wouldn’t you agree?
Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore. You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.
