With AI, eveybody needs to undervalue "experience" by quite a lot. I once worked with one of the smarted people I met and I remember asking him if he knew this niche programming language that we would use. He said "not yet"

Whenever someone asks me if I've ever worked with so and so technology or have this domain knowledge, that would be my answer for everything; not yet.

You do know that LLM is the result of scraping the entire Internet, right? So who would have more domain knowledge than LLM? People who do not get this concept will not going to make it in this AI era.

You just need to hire smart people. In AI era, "experience" is overrated.

Bun > Deno > Node

Looking into using Bun for a lot of things moving forward.

Some thoughts on web application development moving forward

  • No more pretty bloated UI pretty lipsticks; AI agents will be the majority of users of the web and they don't care how pretty it looks. But they will still care about its reliability and speed.

Therefore,

  1. I will be using Bun
  2. html out of the box with built-in Web APIs only
  3. bare minimum css work if needed if not none
  4. every functionality MUST have API attached to it
  5. every functionatliy MUST have MCP server capable
