 We're LIVE in the Discord with Steve Krouse! 
 The future of computing is local-first. 
 The future of computing is interoperable. 🧩 
 ​Join us on 10/18 for Causal Islands Podcast EP04: End-Programmer Programming with Steve Krouse of Val Town.

​To achieve end-user programming where users can spin up personalized apps without knowing how to code, we need to start with end-programmer programming. With end-programmer programming, software engineers can build folk applications, integrations, and mini-apps to customize their experience interacting with third-party software.

 Large language models like ChatGPT have hit the mainstream, but most of today's applications follow the same format: a text box. That's because we're currently in the "MS-DOS" stage of interfaces for machine learning – creating interfaces that conform to the shape of the system, not the shape of the human on the other end. This talk explores how AI might help us radically re-think our interaction with computers from the ground up, as the GUI did to command-line computing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqFNjIBdXAc&t=977s

 What is the role of culture in coding? When language is so intertwined with culture, how do you separate culture from language? Can you? What are the benefits and drawbacks of doing so?

We'll explore these questions and more with Jon Corbett and @34612bbe on the next episode of the Causal Islands Podcast. Sign up to join us live! https://lu.ma/causalislandspodcast
