Re:Firebase Studio on Thursday April 10, 2025 @06:55AM (#43642665)
It makes the most sense (to me) for app platforms like Firebase to invest deeply in the AI application development wave. Creating something from scratch with prompts is impressive but the gap between something that works locally to something that people can use is still large enough to require some dev & ops expertise.
This is cool. A next step could be to have a single AI-powered tool to call these tools, maybe in a more deterministic way than new-gen AI agents.

Even though the aim here is different, sustainability through repair and reuse is uplifting. It's also a reminder that 10-year-old computers can do a lot and most of us may not need the latest shiny laptops.
