My Take

While the industry buzzes around generative AI and its applications in autonomous driving, Salesforce layoffs remind us of ongoing economic pressures. The porting of React Compiler to Rust is a clear indicator that performance gains are still top priorities. Shareholders care about money, metrics, and efficiency. Corporations are soulless systems.
