    I mean, those words are still used by people in technical fields. It’s the laypeople who use “app” for everything, and even if “app” didn’t exist, they would still pick one generic word like “software” or “program” for everything since they don’t know the difference between any of the words on the left side.

    Soon we will see the revelation of app driven development where the fundamental primitive type is an app.

    Thread -> app

    Class -> app

    Object -> app

    Struct -> app

    Union -> app

    String -> app

    Integer -> app

    Boolean -> app

    Don’t worry ram is cheap, right?

        The only way to make AI less power efficient: require an instance of Electron for each GPU thread in the matrix multiplication. Suddenly there is not enough RAM on the planet and optimizing Chrome becomes the all-consuming desire of the world’s wealthiest nations.

        The advanced version also has a locally hosted chatbot per primitive.

        We’ve figured out annoying casts with next gen type coercion: type hallucination - the LLM will try to figure out how to do any necessary conversions at runtime and just kind of guess any missing details.

        The best thing is it doesn’t ever do the same thing twice. So if it causes a bug the first time, it might not the second time.

    • This already happens in enterprise code bases with dummies running the show and juniors coding. Every primitive is actually a god object that can work at any level of the software stack.
