#1 is going to be an issue until we have another breakthrough or genuinely innovative approach.

We all know that 2 years is a lifetime in tech (for better or for worse), and we've all trained ourselves to keep up with a rapidly changing industry in a way that's more efficient than fully retraining a model with considerably more novel data.

For instance, enough people have started to move away from React for more innovative or standards-based approaches. HTML and CSS alone have come a long way since 2013 when React was a huge leap forward. But while those of us doing the development might have that realization, the training data won't reflect that for a good amount of time. So until then, trying to build a non-React approach will involve wrestling with the LLM until the point when the model has caught up.

At which point, we will likely still be ahead of the curve in terms of the solutions it provides.



But doesnt this just ultimately "solve" itself? If everybody is just going to use LLMs like this, they will keep using React longer, and 2 years is not going to feel like that much of a lifetime anymore. How would, even, a developer inside their AI ecosystem like this even know or care about new frameworks or new ways to do things?


No because big companies see far more value from actually innovating and producing better technology (see Bytedance with their new cross-platform mobile framework Lynx) that speeds up things and provides better User Experience at their scale than they save in developer salaries by just using what an AI is most familiar with
