It's called alignment. And that's the correct word for it in my opinion.
The most important part is that we have to find a way to tackle the knowledge enshittification problem.
Because now that slopcode and slopposts are everywhere, the average quality level will decrease. We had the peak internet knowledge, and it's now gradually getting worse.
That's not a personal opinion, that's how attention matrixes and their keys/values computation works.

- bluefirebrand 2mo ago> It's called alignment Alignment is such a polite term for "a giant boot that is crushing all of the uniqueness out" Once it is done crushing, congrats! Everything is aligned.. by being flattened
- bhawker 2mo agoDoes the world need the "uniqueness" of 40 similar web frameworks?
- camillomiller 2mo agoAs long as there are standards, yes, why not. In Italian we have a saying: il mondo è bello perché è vario. The world is beautiful because it’s varied.
- arvinsim 2mo agoImagine if we have 40 variants of assembly. Would software development have developed at the same pace? Personally for me, I am much less interested in the implementation in frontend and more interested in performance, accessibility, responsiveness, etc. Frontend frameworks are just means to an end. If we can standardize to one, then I will have more time to focus on the more important parts.
- jansan 2mo agoSince a good LLM can handle any of those 40 web frameworks, I think having 40 web frameworks is becoming less of a problem than it used to be. Actually, implementing ideas in an individual manner will become easier. Remember the Bazaar and the Cathedral? The Bazaar kind of failed on the client side, but LLMs may revive it.
- sznio 2mo agothe world certainly needs novel ideas. maybe eventually we'll come up with a web framework that doesn't suck - or rather we'll realise that Django had it right all along for all these years.
- gmac 2mo agoPerhaps not if the one framework we ended up with was a good one …
- bluefirebrand 2mo agoPerhaps not but the world does need the uniqueness of 40 different people who each made their own web frameworks
