Which emerging technologies do you find fascinating?

Rust.

How do you see these themes shaping the future of the tech industry?

Better, faster, easier-to-make applications.

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

I think that generative AI's capability to create content, from text to art, is transformative and this is future for the content, podcast, music, game, etc. It seems interesting to me if there will be more endless shows, podcasts and music that are generated in real time, for each person, depending on their interests, which are determined by recommender systems. I feel that the time of a person without artificial intelligence has passed, and the one who does not change remains in the past and forgotten.

And I'm not only talking about people, but about platforms, companies, software and services.

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.

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".

I find IoT and Quantum-computing exciting with endless possibilities.
