The (AI) world is moving a break-neck pace, and it seems like each week new products get released that were previously next to impossible to implement. I was really impressed to see what people were able to achieve with tools like Cursor - an AI powered code editor.

I've tried it out myself on a sample app for Firebase Data Connect that I am currently working on, and the results were quite promising. Nevertheless, I still had to know what I was doing, so the tool was mostly a convenience for me. Oh - if you are in the private preview program for Firebase Data Connect, and would like to provide feedback, please drop me a line - I would love to hear your thoughts about the APIs, specifically for Swift.

Some of the posts in this newsletter are inspired by my work on this sample app - I'll leave it up to you to figure out which ones.

In related news, we've started running a regular livestream in which we experiment with technology (mostly Google Cloud and Firebase) and talk with product managers, software engineers, and other people from developer relations. This week, we took a closer look at Gemini in Firebase. You can watch the recording here: Firebase After Hours #5 - Stop coding, start asking: Gemini in Firebase.
