Is it just me or does it feel like Anthropic and OpenAI (and probably others) are pumping harness engineering and the like to try and convince engineering organizations, or even entire companies, to "use the platform", and not meddle with software anymore?

This looks like a backend engineers take.

I must say it was worth reading , thanks for sharing your insights !!

There’s only one “the platform” but there were tons of competing libraries to do things like css, components, etc. The competitive landscape just produced better results. For me, Tailwind is nicer to use than regular CSS, and React is nicer to use than web components.

I’m not sure why people are talking about web components seeing as they aren’t mentioned in the article a single time.

Anyway, my complaint is about the troglodytes who refuse to learn CSS, and who promote troglodism in the form of tailwind and similar antipatterns.
