alt Hacker NewsYeah.... maybe. I think AI is still too prone to go down rabbit holes and not understand the whole picture well enough to come up with good optimisations. It's probably good at micro-optimisation, e.g. pre-allocating arrays. But is it going to realise that you don't need that array in the first place? I dunno.
On the other hand it does mean there's no excuse for writing your program using Python or Electron or whatever, which will have a big effect on performance.
The reason for using Electron is to write once and run everywhere right?
I get that LLMs would make it faster to write distinct copies for different operating systems and maintain them both but thats still more costly than a single system.
Sorry if I’m misunderstanding the goal of Electron but it still seems cheaper and easier (although admittedly worse than multiple native apps)
