Async is a podcast where Joshua (a product designer) and Saadia (a software engineer) debate and often argue (as friends!) the merits and challenges of living and building in the world today.

In this episode I  reference how I'm feeling about AI, what I've been doing with it, and why I'm yearning for deep work time to just think and create and be. 

Also, the title is a reference to a recent piece by Gruber and Patel.

Hi Saadia! In this episode I talk about AI, and lend a different perspective to your idea of authorship. 

Then I talk about some AI classes I've been doing, and finally something not at all AI related (well mostly not): A new gadget I bought, the X4.

I also completely forgot to talk about some of the new projects I've been working on, but there's always more episodes.

Welcome to Season 2 of Async where we'll probably just keep talking about AI.

So much to respond to! I talk mostly about motivation – why commit? And what does "best practice" mean in the age of AI?

Shh.

In this episode I talk about my experience writing an app from scratch in SwiftUI, and compare that to vibe coding it. I also discuss a lack of technical people in cross-disciplinary positions.

Joshua has followup on a bunch of topics, including Figma make, app development, and his own experience with race and privilege. He then follows up on a few topics related to the democratization of product and being kind to yourself.
