opened the iOS 27 mail app yesterday and discovered it had enabled intelligence priority inbox or whatever. Setting aside the fact that I don't get enough email to need it and whatever your feelings are about whether LLMs help with email. The fact that I now don't know for sure whether my phone sent my emails to some server somewhere without me enabling it is a very terrible experience for a "we're all about your personal privacy" company.
This is the first iOS I seriously consider rolling back

2016: every line of code is immediately tech debt, the most important design paradigm is simplicity, I maintain a curated personal blog about minimalism
2026: haha I just have my stochastic labubu generate tons of code all the time, I don't even look at it. More is more. I regularly have nervous breakdowns about what it all means on all social media platforms

the more your email client design diverges from mutt the more you've screwed up

If AI writes the code, AI is taking the pager.
Gonna see how smug C-3PO is at 3am trying to figure out why its code doesn't work.
