Meta is also planning to drop its native WhatsApp Windows app in favor of a web wrapper version soon, in what looks like a move to simplify WhatsApp development.

So they are just going back to what they had before, probably to save money.

But don’t they have AI now which makes development so much faster, easier and cheaper? It’s these things where you can see these companies are full of bullshit.

The AI stuff might genuinely factor into it, I largely don’t use it myself but from what I understand from some colleagues it’s churning out decent react and co, while other languages can have mixed results.

That’s quite an interesting take. I also noticed that it’s magnitudes better at coding with common frameworks and often sucks with more niche applications.
