Time traveling via the tech stack

How good AI is at coding depends heavily on the tech stack. Sometimes it feels like time traveling.

React feels like living in the future. Native macOS development? Suddenly you’re half a year in the past, and this is only an example.

It’s not just about code quality, it’s UX patterns and how well the resulting experience fits the platform.

Better prompting and specialized skills can narrow the gap, but some stacks need much more handholding.
