v41 - Liquid Glasshole

Breaking Change

Video of this episode is up on YouTube:

I've made it! I'm over the hump! I'm actually writing* my language-learning app in Swift!

Send an email expressing how proud you are of me to podcast@searls.co. Or if there's any news worth following that isn't about AI. Too much AI stuff lately.

*And by "I'm writing", I admit Claude Code is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here.
