In AI Products,we are building 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗿 experiences for users. Experiences they have never seen before.Truth is that users can tell you what’s broken about the path towards a use case, they won't tell you how to fix it.Listen, observe behaviors then design what they didn’t know is possible with AI

New release of the llm-gemini plugin - a couple of new experimental models, but the really fun feature is "-o google_search 1" to enable a feature where models can run additional Google searches as part of responding to a prompt.

New post: I think the debate around whether LLMs can replace developers is lacking some nuance because, if we're lucky, we as developers don't work without context. I work with my Alphabet Radio on, streaming the greatest hits of the best devs I've worked with.

There is a lot to chew on for developers and users alike in this incredibly thoughtful post.
I've been thinking about how AI and LLMs are changing what it means to be trustworthy - for a computer, for a business, and for an engineer

What did I do on a Saturday night you ask? I enjoyed learning about selectors in rattler-builld by @prefix.dev in rattler.build/latest/selec.... Working on adding marvin by @prefect.io on conda-forge and I have to add some additional packages to conda-forge (github.com/conda-forge/...)
