Jony Ive Still Asks ‘What Would Steve Do?’ Despite Jobs’ Warning

Jony Ive continues to ask himself “What would Steve do?” despite Steve Jobs advising him not to. In a BBC Radio interview, Ive reflected on their collaboration, acknowledging Jobs' demanding nature but also his strong understanding of design. Ive expressed concern about technology impeding creativity and the rapid development of AI, emphasizing the need for reflection on these changes. Since leaving his role at Apple, Ive has worked as a consultant and is now involved in an AI hardware project with OpenAI’s CEO.

Open-Source Tooling

Open-source tools empower creative production. I use them throughout my workflow including DAWs, synthesizers, sample packs, Linux OS, website frameworks, and more. I'm exploring team communications and document editing options. I advocate for open-source resources and emphasize culture's free evolution.
