I only find this is a problem when it writes code in a language I deeply understand. I can’t help but look at it, get the LLM to change it, etc. But when it writes me a Cloudflare worker in Typescript that I don’t understand, I couldn’t care less. It works, that’s good enough.

So I suppose we just have to care less and let it get on with it. Not easy tho, for sure.

Perhaps BigCorp is only just starting to use agentic dev properly. Plus they’ll have loads of bureaucracy still to get code out of the door. Might take another year or two.

Should I stay on Sequoia? I’m seeing a few apps now required 26+ so I’m considering upgrading, but I don’t really want to tbh

> They talk to me in this grating LLM-voice, an uncanny valley of talking to a real human

It’s entirely possible to configure an LLM to talk to you in a different voice of your choosing, eg. “when responding, use a professional, formal, business tone of voice”.

Yeah, I need to try this thing in my own hands to actually understand if it’s useable.

Has anyone actually signed up to tweet.app (twitter.now)? Thoughts?

I think the use case here is for people who have an iPhone as well as an iPad they use occasionally for reading/watching stuff, as well as business people / execs.

Now you can (sort of) have both in one device. Reading the rumours, I was completely disinterested. Now I’m actually tempting to ditch the iPad Pro and iPhone Pro and have a Duo replace both. I’m excited to have a go with one in the Apple Store.

Shame it’s so damn expensive!

Yes, LLM code gen and human review seems to be the universal standard... today! that may well change soon though as trust in the agents increases and they get better. Fable, for instance, is so good for what I do (Rails) that I pretty much trust it implicitly. I still like to check though :)
