How Microfrontend Development Changing with Gen AI

Generative AI and Microfrontend architecture go hand in hand in the current era of agility that defines the success of software businesses.
While microfrontends bring benefits like team autonomy and modular deployment, they also pose challenges, such as inconsistent user interfaces (UIs), code duplication, and complex maintenance workflows.
AI resolves the challenge of Microfrontend by enhancing UI consistency, prioritizing component reusability, and automating workflows, ensuring teams can deliver clean, scalable, and modular frontends faster than ever.
Gen AI resolves these challenges by enhancing UI consistency, prioritizing component reusability, and automating workflows, ensuring teams can deliver clean, scalable, and modular frontends faster than ever.
Generative AI ensures design consistency across Microfrontends by dynamically generating standardized components based on design guidelines.
AI enhances scalability by automating tasks related to performance and accessibility checks in Microfrontends.
Generative AI transforms Microfrontend development by automating CI/CD, refactoring, maintenance workflows, thus making Microfrontends faster, smarter, and more scalable.
The collaboration between designers and developers improves through AI-driven workflows that generate components directly from design systems, ensuring visual fidelity.
The article concludes that generative AI is the future of Microfrontends, empowering teams to deliver modular, efficient, and scalable frontends.
Developers can focus on innovation, confident that AI tools will optimize their workflows and maintain consistency, unlocking a future where Microfrontends are modular, intelligent, and infinitely scalable.

Translating Java to Kotlin at Scale

Meta has been on a years-long undertaking to translate our entire Android codebase from Java to Kotlin.
To leverage the full value of Kotlin, Meta decided to take roughly ten million lines of Java code and rewrite them in Kotlin.
The benefits of translating virtually all of the code include maximizing gains in developer productivity and null safety, and minimizing the drawbacks of a mixed codebase.
At first, they clicked the IntelliJ IDE button for translation repeatedly but later, they built their own infrastructure—the Kotlinator – to automate the conversion process.
The Kotlinator is sophisticated enough to handle most compatibility changes required in external files.
To become null-safe, the code needs to be checked by a static analyzer such as Nullsafe or NullAway.
There are other ways to break your code during conversion—such as confusing initialization with getters and nullable booleans—besides regressing null safety.
At this point, more than half of Meta’s Android Java code has been translated to Kotlin, and still going.
Meta is hoping to contribute to J2K and also help other companies translating their Android codebases.
Come chat with them and others in the #j2k channel of the Kotlinlang Slack.

Microsoft is Nvidia's biggest AI chip buyer of the year, and it's not even close. With ByteDance and Tencent coming out ahead of Zuck, Bezos, and Musk's outfits, too

Microsoft was Nvidia's biggest purchaser of Hopper chips in 2024, buying 485,000 of them, over twice as many as any other company.
ByteDance and Tencent, Chinese companies, ranked ahead of Meta, Amazon, and Google as Nvidia's biggest customers, each ordering around 230,000 Hopper chips.
Nvidia remains dominant in the AI infrastructure market, while Microsoft's significant purchases can be attributed to its partnership with OpenAI.
The end-user in this scenario does not emerge as the winner, as Nvidia continues to control the market with its high-demand AI chips.

Data Anomalies in DBMS every developer must know.

Dirty Reads: In this, a transaction reads uncommitted changes made by another transaction. If the changes are rolled back, the data becomes invalid.
Non-Repeatable Reads: A transaction reads the same data multiple times but gets different results due to updates by another transaction.
Phantom Reads: A transaction queries a set of rows and gets a different result set on subsequent executions because another transaction added or deleted rows matching the query condition.
Isolation levels in DBMS try to mitigate data anomalies, but increasing consistency may lead to performance degradation.

How to Create Multi-Step Forms With Vanilla JavaScript and CSS

Multi-step forms are useful for large forms as it breaks them down into sections for a better experience.
The HTML page for the multi-step form should be divided into sections, and buttons for easy navigation.
JavaScript controls the navigation and includes conditional validation for required fields.
Real-time validation handles improper entries and error messages cleared on input correction.
A summary section at the end is added for the user to review inputs and submit them.
Accessibility is important, and using semantic HTML, appropriate labels, and good contrast and font choices can make it easier.
Adding attributes like vital alerts, aria-invalid, etc., on an error state can help screen readers, and audio guidance is possible.
The multi-step form can be used for various forms such as Job applications, subscriptions, registration, contacts us forms, etc.
The process can be challenging but can offer a lot of value, even for accessibility and overall user experience; try repeated testing.

How we think about Threads’ iOS performance

The Threads iOS team has managed to maintain app performance, despite its significant growth.
The article provides insights into the key metrics that Threads monitors to ensure good performance.
These metrics include %FIRE (percentage of people who experience a frustrating image-render experience) and Time-to-network content (TTNC).
The Threads team has spent a lot of time removing unnecessary code and graphic assets from their app bundle to reduce their app's binary size and enhance performance.
The team has also developed a new tool called SLATE, which measures navigation latency efficiently and helps analyze how new features impact performance.
The article also covers different strategies that the team used to improve their app's performance and resiliency, including Drafts and reducing the perceived latency of text posts.
Threads also adopted Swift concurrency, which improved their code's stability and performance.
The team will continue to monitor their key metrics and iterate on their tools and strategies to improve the app's performance in the future.
Users can also contribute to improving the app by submitting bug reports.
