Not sure there’ll be much of interest from Sam Altman interviewing Jony Ive, but I’m happy to report they did try to color-coordinate their outfits but didn’t quite hit the mark.

Another week. Another conference. OutSystems in Lisbon. Moderating one panel today, another tomorrow.

Good morning from the Databricks conference, where the press rows are in the back, have Ethernet cables without dongles and no power. Only a three-hour keynote.

Currently at SFO. Waiting to board a United flight. There’s smelly trash from a few days ago on the plane and no catering team to be found to pick it up.

Also: no food or drinks expected to be on the plane.
