The idea that people are going to YOLO changes to DNS and Postgres migrations gives me such anxiety, knowing the pain people are in for when they “point Claude at it, one prompt, and done”, then their business is dead in the water for a week or two while every executive is trying to micromanage the recovery. I love Streamlit and mermaid, but if these are the shining examples this isn’t a good sign. These have hard ceilings and there’s only so much you can work around the model of “rerun the entire Python script every time the page changes”. As long as humans are involved the UI will matter. Maybe the importance is not on the end-user facing UI, and maybe it’s more on the backend SRE-level observability UI that gives insight into whether the wheels are still on the bus, but it will matter. Some people are getting the AI to handle that too, and like all demos, that will work until it doesn’t. I’m sure NASA or someone can engineer it well enough to work, but it’s always going to be a tradeoff: how fast you can go depends more on the magnitude of the crash you can survive, than the top speed someone achieves once and lives to tell about it.
