What the new world paradigm looks like

The new software engineer’s reality, being lead-developer to autonomous agents.

Like many, I have been riding the AI rollercoaster. My lows being filled with mourning for the fun of coding. My highs being full of interesting maths, and interesting concepts behind what makes a model. I’ve enjoyed those eureka moments when an agent churns out a huge block of well-written code.

There are some big questions to wrestle with. Questions which will likely need to be addressed by thousands of teams across the world over the next year or two.

The Movement

There is a big movement going on in the Local First circles to give users greater control over their data, greater performance and resilience. They want to do this by building applications that need less access to external servers and even the network at times.

One of the major breakthroughs in recent years which is making this goal more accessible to a lot of applications is the ability to use the power of well established databases within the Browser. Wayback, we saw WebSQL appear in browsers but never gained traction because of licensing and compatibility across all browsers. This was a real shame.
