We checked the Apple Visitor Center close to Apple Park. The place is beautiful and I truly fell in love with the stairs. Some of the pictures feel straight out of a render engine 😳

I finally had some time to enjoy Maxime's "training your AI image model" talk, and he does a great job explaining the process and showing very good and actionable examples. I'm looking forward to trying it out myself.

★★★★★ – will watch it again.

I have been trying to be more intentional about the photos I take, and I always go out with a few topics in mind. I'm not a photographer, but I'm obsessed with decadent beauty, manifested as old buildings, abandoned places and cars, and rusty shop signs. I'm also a sucker for symmetry.

After trying a few times to bring the kids along unsuccessfully, I'm really enjoying this book about prompts for kids. The projects are very affordable, the examples are fantastic, and the layout is beautiful. The kids are already working on a photo-alphabet!

Aperture also publishes "Seeing things", which may be, by far, my favorite photography book.

It's too damn hot!

This week we had an internal design conference at GitHub. We named it LGTM! (Looks Good To Me). I'm not going to give you a lot of details about the great talks that we had because you will soon be able to watch most of them on Youtube.

I had fun preparing some slides about creative uses of GitHub Actions. It was great to talk about my fixation with automation, rescue the "Design tool as CMS" concept, show how to build your own "Wayback machine", and try to get the team excited to automate repetitive tasks.

I'm particularly proud about this actual footage of me successfully getting my GitHub Actions to green.

This week I used the Swiss Army Knife metaphor way too many times. The idea of a useful, compact, multifunctional and versatile tool is very appealing! Imagine a collection of small, sharp tools at your service.

I like the idea of the Swiss army knife more than the actual thing. Maybe I never had a good one.
