Web development is undergoing a rapid transformation, new technologies based on standards are reshaping the way we build web applications. This talk will explore the big ideas, new web standards, advancements in AI, WASM and Web GPU, alternative JavaScript runtimes, and new CSS APIs that are driving the next generation of web dev. We will also cover exciting proposals for the future of JavaScript, as well as the latest in dev tooling that will rocket your development into being at least a 1.5× developer.

In this talk, we'll take a look at the growing intersection of AI and web development. There's a lot of buzz around the potential uses of AI in writing, understanding, and debugging code, and integrating it into our applications is becoming easier and more affordable. But there are also questions about the future of AI in app development, and whether it will make us more productive or take our jobs. There's a lot of excitement, skepticism, and concern about the rise of AI in web development. We'll explore the real potential for AI in creating new web development frameworks, and separate fact from fiction. So if you're interested in the future of web development and the role of AI in it, this talk is for you. Oh, and this talk abstract was written by AI after I gave it several of my unstructured thoughts.
