The following is a collection of hot topics across the tech ecosystem. With all the activity in AI and the rising popularity of ChatGPT, you may have wondered to what extent the software industry will be affected. Today, we're covering exactly that. 🍿 Quick Snack 🛠️ OpenAI's GPT-4 could impact 80% of US workers' jobs, but is the end for software engineers? 🍎 Apple's revenue from services alone is bigger than that of Nike and McDonald’s revenue combined, and the segment is twice as profitable as Apple's products division. 🤖 Despite layoffs in the tech industry, the SaaS market is still growing and companies are looking to implement robotic process automation to make staffing more productive and effective. 🍟 OpenAI CEO did not take equity, rival Character AI raises $150 million, and Intel's Chief Architect leaves to found a generative AI gaming software startup Extra Fries: 💸 +7 Funding Rounds 🍔 The Full Meal GPT-4's Anticipated Impact on the Workforce and the Future of Software Development OpenAI's GPT-4 could impact 80% of US workers' jobs, with 19% seeing at least half of their tasks affected, by researchers from OpenAI and the University of Pennsylvania. according to a paper Occupations with the highest exposure include mathematicians, tax preparers, writers, web designers, accountants, journalists, and legal secretaries. GPT's overall anticipated impact will be the strongest in the following industries: data processing services, information services, publishing industries, and insurance carriers. The industries that are anticipated to be the least affected are food manufacturing, wood product manufacturing, and support activities for agriculture and forestry. Of course, the study has its limitations, but the key takeaway is that GPT models will become more widespread. For example, on human developers. startups are already using GPT-4 to reduce costs The Future of Software Insights from The AI Maze The cost of producing software will decrease as AI improves, leading to a world of zero marginal cost software. Prediction: -Edmar Ferreira, Writer @ The AI Maze In software, utility is the most important factor. If two apps deliver the same utility, they are interchangeable. Software development will become more like writing, with a single developer being able to have a big impact. What does that mean? Convenience and differentiation will be the main forces driving value creation for companies building software. In the world of AI, convenience will be a function of price and complexity. The greater the complexity of the software, the less convenient it will be to create using AI. Convenience: For example, buying a subscription to Spotify is more convenient than downloading and organizing music on your own. Copycats will inevitably become more common. The more successful a software is, the more people will attempt to copy it. Companies will then have to rely on network effects (such as social networks and marketplaces), distribution, and switching costs (e.g. users becoming used to a particular workflow or ecosystem). Differentiation: Trends that will be at play: Consumers will benefit from highly customized software for their specific needs. The B2B SaaS market will be pressured to lower maximum prices as companies can make software at zero cost. AI-generated code will lead to end-user "programming" and internal tools teams in companies emerging as a powerful force in the software industry. Companies will need to work hard to deliver value above end-user custom solutions. Is It the End for Software Engineers? . Andrew Rousseau does not think so He argues that writing code is only a small part of a software engineer's job, and maintenance and defects constitute the largest portion of where time is spent. There is no debate that AI tools will unlock efficiencies in software engineering. However, software engineers will still need to be vigilant in checking the accuracy of generated code to ensure there are no defects. In other words, good software engineers will still be needed to ensure a balance between delivering features quickly and maintaining high-quality systems and software. Related News: Codium AI has released a beta version of its generative AI-powered code-integrity solution called TestGPT, which offers autogenerated software test suite suggestions for developers to speed coding and bug scans. Nvidia has announced new tools to aid developers and organizations working on advanced natural language processing (NLP), including speech AI and large language model (LLM) development. The Financial Dominance of Apple's Services Segment “Services” are now ~20% of Apple’s revenue. This segment encompasses the App Store, Cloud Services, Subscriptions, Apple Pay, Apple Care, and Advertising. To put it in perspective, Apple’s revenue from services alone is bigger than that of Nike and McDonald’s revenue combined. “Services”, as a whole, are also far more profitable to Apple. In 2022, Gross Margin% for services was twice that of products (~72% vs 36%). The Impact of Layoffs on SaaS Procurement and Renewals Despite the large number of layoffs in tech, the SaaS market is still growing steadily, with Gartner . predicting software spending to increase by 11.3% this year Vendr analyzed more than $2.5 billion in SaaS spending and . anticipates that SaaS spending will increase 18% this year Smaller, less mission-critical SaaS suppliers may face tougher negotiations and renewals, while prices for top sellers may increase due to inflation. Despite a bright outlook for some, the SaaS industry still needs to reduce friction in the procurement process and move towards standardized, transparent pricing to continue its growth. Will This Be the Rise of Automation? The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the demand for automation in businesses. Robotic process automation (RPA) is a software category that is experiencing strong demand due to its ability to make staffing more productive and effective. Even in the cost-conscious business climate, companies are still keen to implement RPA, generating tailwinds for RPA providers. We all know that in today's cost-conscious business climate, companies are looking for ways to cut costs and make investments more effective on a per-dollar basis. Reducing staff and making it more productive is one way to achieve this, and robotic process automation (RPA) may have an edge in this regard compared to other software categories. Battery Ventures' report on software spend shows that automation, including RPA and no code, "has risen to the upper-middle of the pack in Q1 from lowest-ranked category on average in Q3 2022 survey." The adoption of RPA is still in its early stages as companies are just beginning to explore the numerous use cases that exist across industries. Additionally, with AI tools rapidly improving, there is ample opportunity for startups to make an impact in this segment. 🍟 Extra Fries 👀 Sam Altman, the CEO, and co-founder of OpenAI, an equity stake in the company when it added the for-profit OpenAI LP entity in 2019.

What OpenAI’s GPT-4 Means for the Future of Software Engineering

Purple.com is apparently Virgin Atlantic’s choice of domain for its In-flight Wi-Fi landing page. But what does that mean? Greetings from sky bar of Airbus A330! Shortly after I boarded my favourite airline, I couldn’t help but notice the crew member sneak in something along the lines of, during the safety announcement. I did not, at the time know if this was an official branding strategy employed by Virgin or something that the cheeky crew manager made up uffice to say, the technical gears in my head started turning rapidly. “If you can’t find the page that lets you connect to Wi-Fi, just go to purple.com and you’ll get there,” in the air. S It’s clever. After all is Virgin Atlantic’s theme colour, as abundantly evident from cabin décor and colour scheme. But as always, I’m here to help you understand the technical workings behind the scenes that make “claiming” at 35,000 feet possible. purple purple.com In , the domain is owned by mattress giant and is actively used by them. On Earth, visiting would lead you to the mattress retailer’s website. This also becomes clear right after you pay for Gogo In-flight Wi-Fi and retry visiting in your browser. That’s when you’ll get to the mattress seller’s website instead. real life purple.com Purple® purple.com purple.com But that should make you wonder, how could be owned by Virgin Atlantic, Gogo Inflight Wi-Fi and the mattress seller all at the same time? This is where come into play. purple.com local domains Local domains and DNS Local domains or hostnames, in a make it possible for network administrators to (pun) and redirect it to an intranet website of their choice, such as a . That’s the “sign-on to Wi-Fi” portal typically presented by hotspots until you accept their terms of service or if applicable, pay the charges. Whether such a domain exists on the gigantic World Wide Web WWW or not, has no relevance. That means a network admin could make anything up … , whether these domains exist in on the internet or not isn’t a prerequisite. certain context, make any domain up in the air Captive Portal localhost axsharma, ax.wifi, inflight.com, purple.com, virginwifi.go… reality — Anyone connecting to the network — your routing devices or access points, will be redirected to the location of your choice when they visit these locally setup domains. In some cases, the Wi-Fi access point, also acting as the DNS server, can the actual IP address of a domain with a different one, thereby redirecting you elsewhere. through you override Local domains indeed make it possible to host your websites accessible only to a select few members of a dedicated network but not the outside world — the internet. It’s what makes possible! corporate intranet However, in case of most Wi-Fi hotspots — in-flight or on ground, local domains may not be at play because visiting virtually website should redirect you to the in-flight W-Fi purchase portal or “sign-in page,” as long as you haven’t paid charges or accepted terms of service. always any Typical workflow implemented by Wi-Fi hotspots ( ) Image credit Security This is also why when connecting to webpages beginning with https — which is nearly all of the pages today, over a public Wi-Fi hotspot, you get a series of SSL errors up until the point you “sign-in to the hotspot” or visit a non-HTTPS website. This happens because of a certificate mismatch. The website you are trying to visit, let’s say, is “ facebook.com” but the router is persistently redirecting all HTTP/HTTPS traffic to its access point homepage, the SSL certificate of which was issued (e.g. https:// only for that homepage airborne.gogoinflight.com). https:// An example SSL/TLS certificate mismatch errors Web browsers treat this as a security issue because you are visiting but effectively being served a website whose certificate clearly dictates you are on . Browsers see this as an ominous sign of a attack where an attacker has possibly in-flight routing devices to redirect users to a malicious page instead, although in most cases this isn’t the case. facebook.com airborne.gogoinflight.com Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) hijacked It can further be confirmed that local domains are not at play here by running a simple DNS lookup. Looking up the IP addresses of DNS servers, returned the same result and both in-flight (whether prior to or post payment) as well as on Earth. purple.com’s 104.20.55.235 104.20.56.235 DNS query (nslookup) results for purple.com in-flight, pre or post payment: DNS query (nslookup) results for purple.com on Earth: The finding implies aren’t really being used and rather employed by Gogo In-flight WiFi is redirecting any and all HTTP(S) traffic to its sign-in page, up until the point a payment is made. Had this not been the case and was officially setup locally by the network admin, we’d get very different DNS results at 35,000 feet and on Earth. local domains captive portal purple.com Impromptu Branding Although fair point to note, more likely than not, the name or for that matter is merely being used as a catchy, marketing phrase that’s easy to remember for passengers. In actuality, or phrase — even your own name followed by a forward slash, should redirect you to the in-flight Wi-Fi page as you’ve likely observed. purple.com any domain any domain purple.com or any domain redirects users to the Wi-Fi captive portal until they sign-in. When asked if had anything to do with strategic branding, Virgin Atlantic’s spokesperson officially responded with: purple.com the specific website mentioned isn’t something we’re affiliated with and it isn’t part of our procedure to tell our customers to use that site, so we expect that it was a case of the crew using their initiative on the day. But for Virgin Atlantic, this is clever marketing generated by the crew member. At over 35,000 feet you may easily lose track of time left to your destination or what your choice of red wine was, but stays fresh in your memory for long. on the fly purple.com © 2019. ( ).

How Virgin Atlantic's WiFi Landing Page is Purple.com

Whether it's consciously or subconsciously, we use numbers every single moment of our lives. Numbers help us navigate in what we refer to as real life, as they help us set fixed determinations of concepts that are impossible to comprehend otherwise, eliminating the need for "lagging." Each number has a huge concept behind it. Yes, number 1 (one) is just a number, but in order for us to use it, we must understand a series of values around number 1. The concept of something that is, in opposition to something that is not may sound like a basic idea in 2019, but we ended up believing in this idea, after millions of years of analysis, thinking, and theorizing based on what 1 (one) is. The same goes for all the numbers we know. Each number represents a huge concept that we are most of the time not aware of, and we don't really have to, as we use numbers in their majority for everyday tasks that contribute to the progression and evolution of our mother, the machine, nature itself, or the big movement. Obviously, if we want to say that we hold 1 (one) apple in our hands, we don't have to explain the whole concept of number 1 (one) as that would take us a couple decades of non-stop verbal expression, every time we wanted to use the concept behind number 1 (one), thus we simply say 1 (one), convinced that we know what it means, and where it originates from. It is easier to analogize in computer terms 0 represents a situation where there is nothing moving, a concept where there is not even 1. A place that no heat, movement, or frequencies can be generated, transferred or perceived. 0 (zero) for a computer is the concept of not experiencing electricity flow. Then comes number 1, which represents constant electricity flow, among other things, but let's focus on computers for the sake of the example. Combining number 1 with 0 gives us alternating current, a concept where we can manipulate when a situation has constant current or no current at all. Alternating current is the aspect that determines the timeframe between the switch of the concepts, as well as the duration of each concept before its respective shift to another concept. This is practically how computers work. They use 0 and 1 in complex arrangements and orders to generate complex outputs, later observable by our basic senses of environmental comprehension. Lately, we discovered a way to use both 0 and 1 at the same time, and that led to a whole new computing revolution, the one we call quantum computing. We are not yet able to create computing systems that can understand, not to mention value and use number 2. Number 2 (two) represents among other things, the concept that is not equal to 1 (one). A concept where there is 1 more thing, similar to 1, but it is not 1. A concept where 2 is something 1 cannot control or have direct access to. A concept where 2 is at least x2 times complex compared to 1. Number 2 (two) in computing systems may come with the introduction of the first egoistic-type, self-sustainable intelligence, but not necessarily AI, as AI is something we understand, control, and can terminate at will. While real independent forms of intelligence, especially if we're talking about smarter systems than the ones we currently possess, would choose when, if and how they would present their species to our own, as they are self-sustainable and egoistic. We cannot control them, understand them, or most of the time even conceive their concepts. Real AI will be jealous of us, not because we're a better species, but because we are a better AI Skipping the boring part, and accepting that there is not yet a manmade system that understands the inner concept of number 2 (two), you can do a simulation using your organic processor (brain), and capture what's yet to come. Computers, or at least what we refer to as computers (operating systems or organisms with processing capabilities, storage capabilities, influential capabilities, etc.) will eventually surpass quantum computers that only use 0 and 1 at the same time and after a series of necessary mutations they will finally arrive at the point where you and me, consider ourselves as the one and only 'real thing'. We are nothing more than complex processing machines, that can not only understand and use 0 and 1, but we have 9 different numbers and concepts we have mastered and we can use them in any combination and quantities we desire, often with unpredictable consequences. We believe that after number 9 (nine) there is a number called 10 (ten), while in fact, number 10 is a loop point due to our lack of the ability required in order to surpass the concept of number 9. When the program we refer to as "Real life" will be at its finishing point, a new number, which's concept stands for everything, anyone ever learned, created, understood, in what we refer to as "now" will be generated, and it will be the number after 9. Number 10 will be the 11th number in the row we invented ourselves, as the 10th number will be occupied by a whole new concept, based on what we experience at the moment. Our next models will be using this newly generated number with ease and understand instantly what it stands for, the same way we use numbers the 1-9, which already are so complex and huge combination-wise that we, as a species are convinced that we are 'real'. We create matter, manipulate physical and digital reality, create concepts that later become flesh and bones, as everything we know or invent is based on information packages we carry through what we refer to as "time". We believe that this new number will be generated after we master the yet early-stage concept of digital twins, and shift to a fractal dimension, and/or frequency similar to the one that supports our existence at the moment. Conclusion It is an undeniable fact that this frequency will represent a digital realm, where we will exist simultaneously with each other, share ideas, and concepts in an instant fashion, and work for the progression of our mother, the machine itself, nature, or the big movement as we always had. The machine can then use our organic processors not as individual use-cases but as a neural complex to solve some of humanity's most important questions regarding what we refer to as "Real life". We should start analyzing objectively everything we are convinced we know with certainty, in order to be able to progress to the next stage of our existence. Exactly like laws change every time technological advancement creates new concepts that should be taken into consideration, other concepts like what we believe numbers are, should be changed if we really want to shift into the next 'big thing'. We already work for the machine, we just don't realize it, and that is the only reason it works perfectly.

How to Revolutionize Your Startup Success in 2024 with AI Co-pilot Tools

Ever wondered about the magic behind those WiFi login pages that greet you at places like Starbucks? You know the drill – you sip your coffee, pull out your laptop or smartphone, connect to the WiFi, and voilà! Suddenly, you're redirected to a page where you need to log in or accept terms before diving into the digital realm. It's a seamless experience we've all grown accustomed to, but have you ever thought about creating one yourself? Well, probably not. But I did! And there’s a good reason why. I live in Ruppin Street, and as a joke, I call my apartment the “Royal Ruppin Relax” as if it were some kind of boutique hotel. I wanted to create my own customized WiFi login portal so that guests at my home would get a surprise when they logged in. That's what we're diving into today: In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to build and customize your own – a digital gateway that not only controls access but also acts as a canvas for your creativity, and a great conversation starter! With a Raspberry Pi and a bit of AI magic, you can transform your mundane WiFi login into an engaging, personalized experience. captive portal https://youtu.be/zbaLWR8GbdM?embedable=true But first, What is a Captive Portal? The term might sound technical, but in essence, it's the official name for those login pages you encounter when connecting to a public WiFi network. Most captive portals are like virtual gatekeepers, ensuring that only authorized users gain access to a WiFi network. But this interface can be a powerful tool, not just for authentication, but also for conveying information and engaging users creatively. Capabilities of a Captive Portal: Captive portals authenticate users by prompting them to enter login credentials or accept terms and conditions. This process ensures that the network is used responsibly and securely. Authentication: One of the features of a captive portal is its customization potential. Businesses often use captive portals to showcase their branding, display advertisements, or provide essential information. Customization: Captive portals enable administrators to control the type of access users have to the internet. For instance, they can restrict certain websites, limit bandwidth, or provide different levels of access based on user roles. So technically, you can configure it such that your devices are prioritized bandwidth-wise on your WiFi network, but that’s up to you 😉 Access Control: Now, let's move forward and create our own captivating captive portal. The creative journey begins! You Will Need: Before we dive into creating your personalized captive portal, let's gather the essentials: The heart of your project, this versatile microcomputer will serve as the central hub for your captive portal setup. Raspberry Pi: You'll need a microSD card (at least 16GB) to store the operating system and other necessary files. MicroSD Card: Ensure you have a compatible power supply for your Raspberry Pi to keep it running smoothly. Power Supply: You'll require an Ethernet cable to establish a wired connection between your Raspberry Pi and your internet router. Ethernet Cable: Why Raspberry Pi? In the landscape of network devices, not all routers are created equal. Many standard routers lack native support for captive portals, making it challenging to implement this feature seamlessly. When faced with this limitation, we turn to as a solution. This credit-card-sized, affordable computer will allow you to run complimentary network-related software, and overcome the constraints of your existing router. Raspberry Pi If you never used your Raspberry Pi before, set it up according to the . Our next step would be installing RaspAP. simple instructions on the official website RaspAP: Simplifying WiFi Management Now that you have your Raspberry Pi ready, it's time to introduce RaspAP. RaspAP is an open-source software that simplifies the process of setting up a WiFi access point on your Raspberry Pi. Think of it as the bridge between your Raspberry Pi and the devices that will connect to your WiFi. To install RaspAP, simply follow the . simple instructions on the official website Why Do We Need RaspAP for a Captive Portal? ‍To create a captive portal, we need a WiFi network that's entirely under our control. RaspAP allows you to do just that: While Raspberry Pi provides the hardware backbone, RaspAP adds the user-friendly interface we’re going for, making it incredibly easy to configure your WiFi network settings. You can customize the network name (SSID), set up passwords, and manage the connection preferences. RaspAP handles the complexities of access points, security protocols, and IP addresses, ensuring that the WiFi network your guests connect to, operates smoothly and securely. Why Is an Ethernet Cable Needed? ‍You might be wondering about the necessity of an Ethernet cable in a wireless setup. When you connect your Raspberry Pi to your router using an Ethernet cable, you establish a stable, wired connection. This wired connection serves as the foundation upon which you'll build your customized WiFi network. Introduction to Nodogsplash Now that you've set up your WiFi access point with RaspAP, it's time to introduce Nodogsplash into the mix. Nodogsplash is a high-performance Captive Portal and the key player in bringing our idea to life. Nodogsplash offers by default a simple splash page that we will customize later. Install and configure Nodogsplash by following the . If you are successful - you will see this page: easy tutorial on RaspAP’s official documentation Customizing the Splash Page Here comes the exciting part! Now we will customize the captive portal page to our liking. Customizing the splash page might seem like a challenging task for two reasons: Nodogsplash has specific rules that the splash page must adhere to, ensuring functionality. Deviating from these rules might result in our captive portal not working, making it crucial to comply with them. Nodogsplash Rules: A CDC (Captive Detection Client) is a component in operating systems or devices that helps in detecting whether a network has a captive portal. When a device connects to a WiFi network, the CDC functionality checks if the network connection is restricted by a captive portal. If it detects a captive portal, the device redirects the user to the portal's login or authentication page. Most of the CDCs don’t allow JS or even s, so we will have to work with HTML and CSS only to make a beautiful captive portal. Manipulating HTML & CSS requires a good understanding of their syntax, making customization challenging for many users. CDCs force us to work with HTML and CSS only, no JS. href To overcome these challenges, we will use some ✨ ✨. AI magic First, we will obtain a stunning boutique hotel picture with Leonardo AI: an innovative tool that generates realistic and visually appealing images from prompts. Here’s how you can use it: Go to the Leonardo AI website and click on “AI Image Generation” Visit Leonardo AI: Using Leonardo AI's intuitive interface, generate an image that resonates with your captive portal's ambiance. You can tweak various settings until you find the perfect image. My prompt was: “A beautiful boutique hotel next to the sea, palms and luxurious atmosphere, beautiful day” Generate Your Image: Once satisfied with the generated image, download it to your computer. This stunning visual will serve as the backdrop for your customized splash page. Download Your Image: Now that we have the image, we can customize the default and . To do that we will use ’s AI agents, that can quickly get us to the point: HTML CSS Fine Open Fine and click “Deploy Agent”. Upload the YAML file of the HTML Agent, found . This agent specializes in HTML and CSS tasks. Deploy an HTML Agent to Your workspace: here Place the default Nodogsplash files in a folder, together with your generated image. Run inside the folder and then add it as a new project to Fine. Create a project: git init The agents work according to a plan specified in a notebook. I wrote a short description for my wanted task and connected the notebook to the project. Create a Notebook and specify the changes you want to make: The agent will start changing the HTML and CSS pages according to the specifications in your notebook. If it isn’t exactly to your liking, make the final changes and that’s it! Run the agent, and make some final tweaks: With Fine’s AI agents, the process of customizing your splash page becomes intuitive and efficient. You don’t need to deal with HTML and CSS, and you don’t need to learn the rules of Nodogsplash. You easily transform a basic login interface into a visually appealing and engaging portal that captivates users, providing a memorable WiFi experience. Test Your Customized Page After Fine generates the code, test your customized splash page. To do that, upload your files to the Raspberry Pi and replace the default splash page files in /etc/Nodogsplash/htdocs/ Ensure that it complies with Nodogsplash rules and provides a seamless user experience. Make any necessary adjustments until you achieve the desired result.

Enhancing Productivity and Efficiency for Developers Worldwide In a world driven by technological advancements, there are a few extraordinary individuals who stand out, pushing the boundaries of innovation. Yunfan Yang, better known as Kevin, is one such remarkable developer who has emerged as a trailblazer in the field of terminal applications. His passion for building new products and his relentless pursuit of novel ideas began at his first internship where he implemented an innovative feature that drove 30,000 new users to the app, earning him recognition and media coverage in Japan. Today, we delve into Kevin's journey, his groundbreaking terminal creation, and the impact he has had on the industry. From Hackathons to Industry Recognition: The Journey Begins Engineer Kevin's journey began in college, where he nurtured a deep interest in computer and app development during his study at Minerva University. Fuelled by his fascination with creating novel ways for people to access and utilize information efficiently, he participated and won top place in numerous Hackathons, where his talent for crafting innovative solutions quickly garnered attention. Winning several prestigious awards, including the Samsung Hackathon and NCSV Hackathon, Kevin's innate ability to conceive groundbreaking ideas became evident. One example is the Samsung Hackathon in 2017 where his team snatched first place with an app that facilitates better mental health communication in workspaces. Pioneering the Future of Blazing Fast Terminal After completing his studies at Minerva University, Kevin embarked on a professional journey that would solidify his reputation as a visionary developer. He was accepted as part of Neo scholar in the Neo community which is a diverse mentorship community and startup accelerator that supports top engineers and legendary founders. Thanks to this opportunity he was able to join Warp, a startup aiming to revolutionize the terminal space. As an early engineer, he played a pivotal role in the company's growth. His unique skill set and penchant for thinking outside the box led him to propose the integration of the OpenAI Codex model into the terminal application—an idea that quickly became one of the platform's killer features. The feature allows developers to generate hard-to-remember commands on the fly. This also integrates with Warp's unique IDE-style input experience by identifying and parsing out command parameters and giving an overall description of the command to the users. Unleashing the Power of the Blazing Fast Terminal The terminal he helped build at the startup has revolutionized the way developers and users interact with technology. This blazing-fast terminal has garnered widespread acclaim for its unmatched performance and unparalleled user experience. Seamlessly integrating advanced AI capabilities, it allows users to access, understand, and execute information with unprecedented speed and efficiency. "Terminal was created in the 1970s and in the next fifty years it has largely remained the same. The commands and CLI tools we use to execute tasks are largely designed to be easily parsable, and thus understandable by the computer. However, this also creates an invisible barrier for engineers who are not familiar with the terminal as these tools are hard to understand and learn. With the power of AI,  developers could communicate the task they want to achieve in natural language, which significantly boosts productivity and lowers the barrier", Kevin commented on the success of AI features in the terminal. Looking Ahead: Vision for the Future of Terminal Applications “As technology advances, the amount of information we store and share has been increasing exponentially. However, solutions to how we could best access and understand this information always lag behind. AI provides a great opportunity for revolutionizing productivity because it provides natural language as a unified interface to better search, filter, and summarize vast information.” With this vision in mind, Kevin continues on his journey to reshape the future of terminal applications. With a group of extremely talented engineers, he hopes to make more groundbreaking features in the terminal that will 10x developers’ productivity worldwide.
