In a couple years when everyone is just manipulating AIs to make huge blobs of who-knows-what-but-it-works code, we'll hark back to how simple hand-coded React was.
- owlstuffing 1y agoWell… React apps are a category of huge blobs of who-knows-what-but-it-works code. In fact, I would be surprised if AI were to generate code as rube-goldbergery as React would have you write. Shrug.
- xnx 1y agoMaybe, but you can also dictate what technologies the AI uses. Gemini might default to a framework and Tailwind CSS, but I can tell it to use vanilla Javascript.
- daxfohl 1y agoThat's true for now, and of course will be possible in the future too, but I think there's a potential future where AIs just own the whole stack: client, server, some inscrutable protocol between them, some ML model on both ends that interpret requests and responses, etc. All updated in real time, no manual version bumping or dependency pinning, etc. Will all that make things better? IDK, but it fits into a long line of "what hardware giveth, software taketh away".
