You are probably shipping way too much code and those shiny new tools might actually be making your application slower. The whole WebAssembly movement is a perfect example of this trap. One team built a parser in Rust just to realise the cost of moving data back and forth was so bad they had to rewrite the whole thing in plain old TypeScript. It is a brilliant reminder that sometimes the boring technology wins. We are also admitting that our dependency trees are an absolute nightmare. Between legacy runtime support and atomic package architectures, we are dragging around mountains of dead code. Server Side Rendering frameworks are getting ruthless about performance though. Teams are stripping out reactivity overhead entirely to get incredible throughput gains. And when it comes to refactoring the absolute spaghetti code we shipped, artificial intelligence is doing the heavy lifting. Companies are using models to translate massive data pipelines into hyper efficient Go code for pocket change. Others are using visual safety nets to let agents clean up horrifying CSS files without breaking the frontend layout. But before you let an agent rewrite your entire codebase while you grab a flat white, a word of warning. Delegating too much power without oversight just leaves you with a brittle mess of unmaintainable garbage. Grab a drink and let us figure out how to build things properly. https://vocaltechnologist.cyou
