@wesbos instead of ~1987 era desktop app or a ~1997 era web site or a ~2007 era mobile app or a ~2017 era web app what if 2027 had retro futuristic ~1977 era CLI/TUI apps in chat and 2037 had them in voice + AR holograms

@wesbos chat is nearly the O'st of Gs UX pattern we had bash, zork, and BBSs before desktop windows and menus AI chat is like the terminal, but mainstream. ChatGPT was like bash * zork. Gen UI in chat is like TUI apps in bash. a BBS is a remote TUI app. That's a HUGE opportunity

@jarredsumner bun made me fall in love with Zig but Zig is like JavaScript and Rust is like TypeScript for long term super serious business stuff, I'd probably use Rust / TypeScript for whimsical toys and wacky side quests I'm on Zig and ESM JS (with ts jsdocs) bun is Pro™ software now

@mutewinter ya, Linear is held up on a pedestal like the end all and be all of what web apps can be. it's pretty great, but it seems Safari is not getting the love personally I'm discovering that task oriented project management is not really the right abstraction for me

@dceddia @VictorTaelin I've been toying around with various kinds of fractal decomposition such that relevant complexity is discoverable in context just-in-time, but I'm tired boss
