Assuming no new paradigms on the hardware side that no longer fit into our current programming models, do they? Rails' claim to fame was eliminating "XML sit-ups" to improve the developer experience, but who cares how many "sit-ups" LLMs need to do?

At large enough scale, I suspect it'll become a problem. At the moment part of the appeal is how effortlessly models absorb menial work, but I do wonder if eventually it'll be too wasteful at large scales to sustain it. Maybe not, though.

Rails didn’t really push forward the state of the art, though. Not compared to something like DirectToWeb in WebObjects, where instead of static code generation, it did dynamic site generation with open-ended rules.
