Tensions between the United States and Europe around Big Tech have intensified. The EU frames its actions as necessary governance. The US increasingly frames them as discrimination. But beneath the surface sits a quieter disagreement - what trust is.

Media over Quic is a new media streaming protocol that could replace WebRTC in theory, but as of Jan 2026 is not mature enough for widespread adoption. It does have concrete advantages for certain use cases though, which will likely drive early adoption.

Not all hypermedia frameworks are created equal:

HTMX is a dedicated specialist focusing exclusively on the Hypermedia-Driven Application (HDA) model. It "completes HTML" by allowing any element to trigger AJAX requests and receive HTML partials.

Lightview is a multi-paradigm framework that treats hypermedia as just one option. It allows you to mix hypermedia patterns with functional programming and JSON-driven interfaces (cDOM), making it uniquely suited for complex business logic and secure, AI-generated user interfaces.

The Verdict: Choose HTMX for pure, battle-tested hypermedia simplicity; choose Lightview if you need architectural flexibility, client-side reactivity, or the ability to source content locally via CSS selectors.

Working in a complex monorepo turned coding into a chore of copy-pasting and file management. When standard WebStorm templates fell short and AI proved too unpredictable for strict standards, I decided to build a custom plugin. This story explains how a frontend developer can easily pick up Kotlin, use AI to master the IntelliJ SDK, and build a tool that automates smart scaffolding and fixes "blind" navigation—restoring the flow state.
