To me that's said more about Instagram than the feasibility of building an app for a tablet.

Love my FCB1010. Absolute beast that's no worse for wear after 20 years and countless moves.

I'd love it if Siri does, but I don't expect big corps to keep supporting MCP since MCP gives so much control to the end user, can't charge for eg. Google integration when someone can just add an MCP to handle it.

How do you reconcile ...

> I hate when UI teams constantly redesign perfectly fine software

... with ...

> Having the UI layer completely abstracted from pre-written code and dynamically generated "on the fly" based on the context of the user is, I believe, the future

In this scenario there's still no guarantee that the UI won't randomly change. There's no guarantee that the ui generated for the user will be the same visit to visit.
