Wouldn't be the trick to let AI code the app on first requests and then let it run the code instead of have it always generate everything? This should combine the best of both worlds.
Why would you need webapps when you could just talk out loud to your computer ? Why would I need programs with colors, buttons, actual UI ? I am trying to imagine a future where file navigators don't even exist : "I want to see the photos I took while I was in vacations last year. Yes, can you remove that cloud ? Perfect, now send it to XXXX's computer and say something nice." "Can you set some timers for my sport se…
Better yet, why exercise -which is so repetitive- if we can create a machine that just does it for you, including the dopamine triggering, why play an arcade video game where we can create a machine that fires the neuron needed to produce the exact same level of a excitement than the best video game.
And why find mates when my robot can morph into any woman in the world, or better yet, the brain implants that trigger the exact same feelings than having sex and love.
Bleak, we are oversimplifying existence itself and it doesn't lead to a nice place.

This is such a massive misunderstanding of the book. Have you even read it? The developer needs to think so that the user doesn't have to...
My most charitable interpretation of the perceived misunderstanding is that the intent was to frame developers as "the user." This project would be the developer tool used to produce interactive tools for end users. More practically, it just redefines the developer's position; the developer and end-user are both "users". So the developer doesn't need to think AND the user doesn't need to think.

Because nobody actually wants a "web app". People want food, love, sex or: solutions. You or your coworker are not a web app. You can do some of the things that web apps can, and many things that a web app can't, but neither is because of the modality. Coded determinism is hard for many problems and I find it entirely plausible that it could turn out to be the wrong approach in software, that is designed to solve som…

The question posed sounds like "why should we have deterministic behavior if we can have non-deterministic behavior instead?" Am I wrong to think that the answer is obvious? I mean, who wants web apps to behave differently every time you interact with them?

Are you suggesting that an average user would want to precisely describe in detail what they want, every single time, instead of clicking on a link that gives them what they want?
Somehow it will also help you decide what is needed as an mvp. Instead of building everything you think you will need, you get only what you need. But if I use someone elses application running this repo, the first thing I'll do is go to /admin/users/all
Amazing. This is the Internet moment of AI. The Internet took something that used to be slow, cumbersome, expensive and made it fast, efficient, cheap. Now we are doing it again.
