I'm only lightly buttered; hopefully that won't be an issue. :þ

I am excited about the next few versions of products using AI and writing. Every new product becomes more personal and intuitive. I am energized by what we could come up with to educate, entertain, or express a better life for other people.

I am looking forward to AI Spam Filtering. I can see spam in seconds by looking at the first words of the subject and I am really interested when AI will be almost as "clever".

So far, the advent of AI and how it seems to have filtered into everything wee do. The fact that hardly can a person who makes use of the internet go a full internet session without making use of at least one AI tool.

ReScript is an incredible alternative to Typescript. It's based on OCaml and shares a lot of features with Rust like a strong type system, Option and Result types, variant types and pattern matching.

The compiler is crazy fast and it blows TS out of the water from a DX perspective. You don't have to add type annotations everywhere and pattern matching and variant types reduce the amount of code I write by a significant amount. If it compiles I feel pretty good about it actually working, which is something I don't get from TS.

Add to this Vite and all the wonderful speed and simplicity that ecosystem brings and it's a different world from where I was 5 years ago.
