> Code needs to be written properly; you can’t just waste money and resources endlessly to cover up inefficiencies. Quite rare to hear this wise line these days. An I guess with AI coding assistant, this is only the beginning of this kind of horror story

For me, the horror story started when people ditched optimal desktop apps for Electron because they knew js and css.

  Perhaps we can make an AI translate electron apps into native apps…

  So tired of hearing this trope. Electron is alright. Memory is cheap. Tell me a single better way to write cross-platform UI other than a worse version of Electron.

    Sure, but what do you think would count as better?

    > Memory is cheap If you're running on commodity hardware, sure; if you happen to be a $1T company that solders 3x marked-up RAM then that's definitely not true https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/16-inch-space-black-standard-display-apple-m4-pro-with-14-core-cpu-and-20-core-gpu-24gb-memory-512gb https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/16-inch-space... is the entry model, and clicking the 48GB option dials the price up to $3k

      The cheapest Apple laptops start with 16GB now. That's enough for quite a few desktop apps regardless of Electron.
