My kid has always hated anything to do with coding or computers. However we forced her to take part in an AI challenge at school and told her she didn’t need to do know coding or computers to build something. She wrote a long story format prompt for an app she had an idea for and she was awestruck when lovable built it the way she thought. Now, an upgrade to pro version later the kid is furiously telling AI what to do next for her web app. It’s a swim app and yes it really has turned out nice. If you needed proof that AI is transformational this is it. I love how engrossed she is right now “building”, something she would have never ever done.

I finally cancelled my Apple One premier subscription today. I get Apple Music Family for 10$ through Verizon Fios Perks. With change in Chase Sapphire Reserve (and their increased yearly fee), I get 18 months of AppleTV+ free through it. All I needed was iCloud+ 2TB. Canceling Apple One Premier and going for individual subscriptions through Chase, Verizon and Apple made the most sense and easily giving us a savings of 17$ per month for another 18 months. It was a no brainer. I don’t care for any other Apple bundled subscription, so this is perfect until it runs out!

I finally upgraded my personal Mac to Tahoe and honestly the design language on this new OS is just so weak. The over emphasis on curved edges is just not working for me and it looks way worse on a Mac than on a phone due to screen real estate. On phone it’s not as bothersome and you totally overlook it, but gawd on MacBook Air it looks kinda ridiculous. Couple that with Liquid Glass, I have no idea what happened to the design aesthetic of Apple. Usually they always get this right, but Tahoe is so off.
