It's remarkable how much of my soul has been obliterated[1] in the past week programming for Amazon's Alexa platform:

* Crappy documentation
* Poor debugging feedback
* Non-deterministic behavior when things are "working"

Rather than writing useful business logic, I'm stuck in the code-equivalent of poking a gelatinous blob to see how it will react it I poke it some place or other.

[1] No worries, it'll grow back.

#Amazon #Alexa #AlexaSkillsKit #ConversationalUI

I was trying to think, what would an #AI first desktop environment be like? #ConversationalUI is one thing, and while having that like a Spotlight/Raycast thing would be good, that’s not the best interface for most things.

Would it be suggested application sets? Start one app, it could recommended related ones? Or even suggests ways to organize your windows? Pair it with eye tracking, and it intelligently resizes your windows depending on your focus?

Emotion recognition to update themes?
