A few days ago I was predicting to some colleagues a revival of ideas around "server-driven UI" (which never really seemed to catch on) in order to facilitate agentic UIs.

Feels good to have been on the money, but I'm also glad I didn't start a project only to be harpooned by Google straight away

Server Driven UI has absolutely caught on. Not including all the Electron apps out there, things like Instagram's native mobile apps have about half of their screens being SDUI at this point because Meta needs to be able to change them instantly, not with a 3 week release cycle.
