It’s not just AI tooling that has advanced so much.
I remember when setting up React with different libraries could easily take a full day.
CRA, Redux Toolkit, routing, UI libraries (antd, materialUI,...), config issues, and then more libraries on top of that.
Now it’s mostly just:
“Vite shadcn”
or
“Next.js shadcn”
and you’re already building.
The speed difference is crazy.
