Good take re: frontend tools used in AI-generated interfaces.

I think React, Tailwind, Radix UI, shadcn, et al. are just a few of many possible “stepping stone” abstractions that in their current form are only used by AI because of abundant training examples and an arbitrary invariant of human maintainability. (Thought that is debatable now – I personally wouldn’t want to maintain a codebase generated by v0.dev by hand in its current state.)

Taken to its logical conclusion, a sufficiently powerful AI system in the future would know to optimize its way back down the human-invented ladder of abstraction (to HTML/CSS/JavaScript and maybe beyond) then build layers of the stack back up from its own first principles as and how it sees fit.

AGI will use TanStack Start @solid_js edition.
The best AI Agents will be smart enough to rely on fined grained reactivity and Signals.
Other Operators will use React Scan.

Love this! I honestly think it's overly optimistic to think React will be the last "framework" (what a diluted word these days). It's definitely playing a critical role in these early AI days, but I'm going to assume AGI or ASI will be infinitely smarter than we ever will be and…

Until that happens though, we need more devs writing Svelte in the wild.

Most of the base models are still terrible at it 🫠

This is the svelte code that Claude unironically generated when asked to make a basic todo app https://t.co/0IgNkO2UKg
