Fun with the Apple predictive keyboard

I’m getting used to the predictive keyboards in iOS8. I found myself wondering today what would happen if I just hit a single key and then just picked the suggested word over and over. So I typed “a” and the following resulted. It looked like it was going to end up in an infinite loop, but while it got very repetitive, that never happened.

So, cheap fun (if you don’t include the cost of the iPhone)…

And the rest of the day after a long day at the same thing to say it was the best of the year and the rest of the day after a while ago but the fact I can get it right away with the best of the best way of the best thing to say it was the best thing to say it is not the same thing to say that I have a great way of the day I have a great way of life and the rest of my favorite part of the best of luck with the best thing ever I go back and the rest of my favorite part of the day I have to go back and the rest of my life and the rest of my favorite part of a sudden it was the first half of the best of the year and the rest of my favorite part of a sudden it was the first half of the day after a while ago but the rest of the best…

The video of my talk from QCon Shanghai is live

Had a great time at QCon, met a ton of interesting folks, and the organizers were awesome. The video and slides are now live on their site: http://www.infoq.com/cn/presentations/building-strong-engineer-culture

There are a couple issues to be aware of. They did the slides separately, so they don’t always line up with what I’m saying. Also, since I was being simultaneously translated, I talk more slowly and pause more often than I would normally to let the translator catch up.

I think that this will be the last time I give this talk publicly, now that it is recorded fairly well, and available world-wide.
