Thank you for writing this. Your point about "quicker deterioration of local environments" is thought-provoking.
My key technical complaint about LLMs to date is the general inability to add substantial local context. How can I make it understand my business, my processes, my approach to the market? Can I retrain it? Or make it understand my data warehouse?
I think you are explaining why LLM providers don't care about solving my concerns, generally speaking. This is sobering.
Re xslt based web applications - a team at my employer did the same circa 2004. It worked beautifully except for one issue: inefficiency. The qps that the app could serve was laughable because each page request went through the xslt engine more than once. No amount of tuning could fix this design flaw, and the project was killed.
I recognize the name John Levine at iecc.com, "Invincible Electric Calculator Company," from web 1.0 era. He was the moderator of the Usenet comp.compilers newsgroup and wrote the first C compiler for the IBM PC RT
