## Content

Today is not about the code though. My name is Peter Steinberger. You know I'm VERY EXCITED about AI. And the future of software development. I'm really bullish on that. To be honest, the whole reason why I traveled from Vienna here today is that I want to share my enthusiasm with you and also to WAKE you UP. Especially in the iOS community. There are still so many folks who are skeptical about these weird text prediction machines. And meanwhile I'm so in awe of the possibilities that I can barely sleep at night. That means I can spend my energy and focus to deliver a product that delights instead of obsessing over the code. I found myself in a restaurant with friends and instead of following the conversation I was prompting my agents on the phone. And I realized I literally built myself software to access my drug. Am I mad? Was this a waste of time? I had a lot of fun building this project. Find something that you want to build and play with this new technology. That's the best way to learn, to really get a feeling and to become really good at it.
