I've been blogging on and off for 20 years.

When I was a teenager the motivation was very clear, I just wanted to share what I found. Like how to work around a bug in some old Nokia smartphone.

Lately I choose an ambitious project for myself in Swift/AVFoundation. I worked a lot on a single feature and I nailed it. I felt that again, I'm going to share it.

But then I felt sad, because I don't have any reasonable traffic to my blog and I know that the first one to see it will be a LLM's crawling bot.

And then it will be redistributed, no accreditation, not my words anymore. On top of that some AI company will be taking money for it, probably from a vibe-coder making an app similar to mine.

I don't feel like sharing know-how in 2026.

I think we are like any other industry right now.

How many of us carry two laptops? I want one laptop with physical switch between work and personal.

I like my MacBook Air, but I have to carry two.

What should be separate to be able to have physically two computers? Disk + Secure Enclave?

Is any company working on it? Maybe framework could do it?

would you use an iOS app that uses camera to OCR Netflix page and show you the ratings for current selected movie?

I've been learning about zero trust systems, homomorphic encryption etc. There are new startups in that areas who are trying to provide the technology.

What I have hard time finding are companies using these technologies. It's also unintuitive why would they do it, given that they feed on user data.

I can see how this could work for b2b, in a non-zero sum game where both companies gain by being able to do for eg. zero-knowledge proof, or share some encrypted data for processing.

I would like to hear your take on these questions: - have your company used FHE? where & why? - can you think of b2c where business have incentive to use FHE? - do you think that because there will be zero-trust alternatives, users will choose those, and other will have to follow?

thanks & have a good Sunday!
