[📝] Today #3: A Shift in the Development Paradigm

✨ GPT Summary 　

A day when I experienced the new development paradigm led by web apps and AI, and realized the importance of efficient time management and setting priorities.

💭 Diary

Lately,

• With the expansion of web browsers and web app capabilities, the development environment paradigm is slowly shifting from local apps to web apps. (And conversely, it seems the trend is to build the web app first and then port it locally.)
  • flutterflow.io, flutlab.io, idx.dev, vscode.dev, …
  • From trying it myself, if only that infuriating point where browser shortcuts take priority over web app shortcuts (ex: Ctrl/Cmd + W) could be improved, I think it could become an excellent development environment.
• On top of that, after the emergence of AI (claude-3.5 sonnet, GPT-4o, o1, o1 pro, …), part of the development process, especially prototyping, is also slowly shifting from manual coding labor to one-click-ish clicking with AI APIs.
  • cursor.com, bolt.new, lovable.dev, …
  • From trying it myself, because there are still clear limits in context window size (the amount of input information a model can process at once) and output token (the amount of text it can generate), it looks usable only for simple MVPs (minimum viable products) for now. Still, since model performance keeps improving even now, I do not think its potential can be ignored.

After painfully recognizing these paradigms, the following issues came up.

1. The opportunity cost of valuable time I was meaninglessly throwing away on games/YouTube began to feel huge. -> Trying to solve it by reducing games/YouTube
2. There are too many things I want to do, but my physical/mental/time/financial resources are limited. -> Trying to solve it by prioritizing my to-do list with the Eisenhower Matrix

So in conclusion, the highest-priority tasks given to me right now are these.

1. Shake off the temptation of games/YouTube,
2. Finish writing as quickly as possible,
3. And fall asleep. (✝️ And even in the storm of exciting ideas rushing through me, not forget to pray for at least one minute before sleeping.)

Before I ruin tomorrow with sleep deprivation.

But today, too, I forgot my priorities and ended up spending two hours writing this diary. This is driving me nuts lol…
