I agree with everything in the blog post. What I'm struggling with right now is the correct way of executing things the most safe way but also I want flexibility for LLM. Execute/choose function from list of available fns is okay for most use cases, but when there is something more complex, we need to somehow execute more things from allowed list, do some computations in between calls etc.

I agree with this, it was always the case with everything in the real world as well. People use tools that can best handle the problem they have. However, I think most today's websites/apps do not require to be SPA oriented. If only the one page requires heavy client-side interaction, there's always possibility to use SPA library only on that one particular page

what are those 4 icons of google, amazon, airbnbn, openai on landing page for? I never understood why people are doing this.

Many of you guys probably don't even need API for web development. Same as we didn't. We rewrote codebase, removed React and Graphql part and now Django serves html. Win win for everyone.

We don't have mobile app and don't even plan, but if we do, we always can implement some rest api.

> No matter what indexes we threw at the table

I don't have information on how team investigated the whole problem. What table looks like? What indexes exactly? Was there any explain analyzing? 28 millions are not as many as it seems. We have similar sized table but when indexed properly, query is always quick

Yeah, because when we implement it in C++ we surely are going to save the planet now.

Communism has never been tried? Could you explain a little bit more? I don't know if you are joking or lacking knowledge. Or maybe I lack some knowledge you know about

if you are logged in, it has to check if you upvoted some of those listed items (submission and comments). If you're logged out, it doesn't need to check anything - so it's faster

Django is just one example. There wasn't major change for how the whole application is being written

I wonder if introduction of some goats there would change something

> to one very specific type of client is frankly stupid

However, I see this specific type of clients that need just basic web functionalities, e.g CRUD operations and build something basic more prevalent than those that need very instant in-app reactivity and animations and so on (React, and SPA ecosystem).

Nowadays that's exactly the opposite, every web developer assumes SPA as default option, even on these simple CRUD examples.

I have been in 4 different companies, with a decent to very good salary. React is self-fulfilling prophecy also because developers want to make as much money as possible and companies need more React developers because, at least in my experience, development is so much harder and slower with react - so companies need more react developers, and because there aren't many in the market, price (salary) per developer goes even higher.

So everybody learns React, because companies need more React developers, because development is too slow. Think about it, which developer would prefer framework/library that gets job done quicker and easier, but pays less?
