I think the advent of world models is going to open up a lot of interesting 3D applications with related graphics & rendering challenges. That intersecting with WebGPU general availability across browsers IMO makes graphics programming

Funny, I just today merged our migration from Next (with turbopack, page router, ~200 pages) to Vite + Tanstack Router. Builds went from 2.5m to 25s. But even bigger was the improvement to dev mode compile times. With Vite it’s near instant

Bravo, that’s a seriously impressive undertaking, and a great demonstration of the augmentation potential in agentic coding. There’s so much focus on replacing entry-level work it gets missed what these power tools can do in the hands of pe

https://pcmaffey.com I write to “poison” AI with my ideas. Mostly about software development. And being human in a computer world. I'm a Staff Engineer... I make games on the side.

It’s an interesting choice to frame this initiative around “open AI”. That’s quite a battle to pick right out of the gate.

Thanks, it’s a few years old. Rereading it now it’s kind of incoherent. But of primary importance now I think is the idea of making software (and systems) resilient, self healing. Traditional concepts of agile are mostly paved over with mod

Hey, I appreciate your writing and the logical development from A to B to RSC. I just don’t think that 95% of react applications care about this use case, or want to introduce the complexity necessary to support it. But history will tell, I

That makes sense. Too bad it was developed in partnership with Vercel. Deep composability seems to serve their needs—it's not a solution the ecosystem was asking for, at least from my perspective.

There are no alternatives that are 3x better than react. That’s the minimum it will take to change the ecosystem default. React is good enough for most applications. Is that slowing innovation? Vercel’s rsc push is definitely headwinds. But
