Great article. This is the kind of web design that I like.

Until recently, it was always cheaper to forego software architecture optimizations and rely on faster hardware, but now with AI I think this changes that calculus.

Yes and no. Faster hardware doesn’t solve pathologically broken algorithms :)

Worth's law: Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster.
