Here's a great free idea for how to use LLMs in your user-facing software:

Whenever you catch an error that you didn’t expect, and which isn’t localized:

Instead of telling the user “something went wrong“ with no other information…

Have a tiny local LLM evaluate that error against your source code,
try to figure out where the user input led to that error,
figure out whether or not the user can resolve that error,

and then give the user a nice full-text localized explanation of what happened and what they can do

people dreading Windows 11:

You will lose your privacy, features will be forced upon you that you don’t want, it doesn’t run all your programs that Windows 10 ran, it’s extremely buggy and crashy, and deletes all your data

people dreading macOS 26:

It looks a little bit more glassy

Me, a Swift dev, watching Rust devs argue about the use of Result's unwrap() which took down Cloudflare.

(Rust has many ways to get the value or error in Result , including expect() and unwrap(), both of which crash the program if the Result contains an error. Swift's Result has no crashing APIs at all)

Man, this would be awesome if it actually happens as we all imagine… and really Hell if it happens in a way that Google enjoys

The worst programming language of all time

"incompatible by default" might be the most scathing thing I’ve ever heard about a programming language, bar none
