There are some other interesting dynamics in UX that aren't just cyclical trends:
- Natural language interfaces. You can now communicate with your computer with language, voice or text. There are some situations where this is an improvement, but others where it's not. It'll be interesting to see how interfaces are designed to combine the best of both worlds.
- Adaptive interfaces. The UI/UX of the last period of computing is largely a solved problem. There are standard UX solutions for most types of problems. It's also become significantly easier to build these interfaces, and LLMs are pretty good at writing basic declarative UIs. I think the bar will be raised such that users expect their interfaces to adapt to them, instead of a one-size-fits-all solution.
- Immersive interfaces. This might be similar to "dimensional" but more about the actual UX instead of just how 3D the buttons and icons are. I think using 3 dimensions is a natural solution for expressing higher information density. VR and AR will eventually catch on in some form.
If you just want React+Rails, the rails generator command comes with a bunch of options to set that up for you, including setting up and configuring: React/Vue/etc, a bundler like vite, typescript, tailwind.
It looks like inertia has additional features though.
I like SwiftUI, reactive frameworks just make sense to me for UIs. It also interfaces with UIKit in a pretty nice way so you don’t have to commit to one or the other. I’m a newer iOS dev though, I’ve heard many complaints from more experienced devs.
What do you mean? I thought the US dollar was fixed to gold between WWII and 1971:
> On 15 August 1971, the United States ended the convertibility of the US dollar to gold, effectively bringing the Bretton Woods system to an end and rendering the dollar a fiat currency
I developed sleep apnea from poor posture and was able to fix it by correcting my posture. Developing a hunch or anterior pelvic tilt is especially a risk for desk workers and makes breathing harder, a little bit of yoga or posture correction exercises can save you a lot of trouble.
> The prospects for such an enterprise have been enhanced by the relatively recent discovery that the moon harbors water in the form of ice, which could be used not only for drinking and irrigating crops but also for producing oxygen and making rocket fuel for future flights.
Hi, I'm Roshan and I'm a software engineer with 13 years of experience building creative solutions and solving scaling problems at fast growing startups. I've started my own company, worked with the Heroku founders on Xeroc PARC-style research projects, and most recently left a YC company (PopSQL) when we were acquired. I'm looking for early or middle stage startups working on interesting and ambitious problems!
Wasn’t Emad working at a hedge fund before this? I’m surprised the article glosses over the fact that he had 0 experience in the tech industry before starting one of the most ambitious tech projects ever
