This is yet another episode of Coding with Agents, or Cultural Coding with Agents, with Marcio Galli. Welcome to episode 42.
We have seen, web pages, from around 1993-1994. It all started with the Mosaic web browser, the very first navigator written by Marc Andreessen. Then from there, we have also seen Netscape, and after that the world understood the web. Then social networks came, and other layers too. And, of course, we had a lot of fun.
However, at some point, it seemed that the web became odd. Some people started saying that the web wasn't anymore the web we once knew. I confess I couldn't really figure what was going on. Well I felt the pain but I think it was something with me.
But it was only after the ChatGPT days that I actually realized how unpleasant it was to read/learn about things in the online space. I mean, I'm not referring to literary readings, I'm referring to the moment when we engage in search and discover, and when we need to hop through things.
So let us now celebrate how better it is the experience when we are in front of a task, when we need to search and iterate as we search, when we want to navigate towards discovery while achieving clarity. Let us celebrate how fluid is the experience, the experience of using AI agents for discovering, in contrast with the modern web.
