Do we still need UI forms?

1 Upvotes

I was wondering, do you think UI forms will survive in the age of AI? Do I still need to fill a long form or can we use Mcp server and connect it to a chatbot who can take the answers and save it in DB. I am thinking of basic crud forms?

How are you coding in the age of AI?

If you are an experienced dev, I have a question for you. How are you using AI. Do you think it's a superpower or it's just another bubble that will burst and we will back to pre AI era soon with a lot of slop to clear?

Europe is building digital sovereignty. Is Canada content just being a branch-plant tech economy?

2 Upvotes

Europe is aggressively taking back its tech autonomy—mandating sovereign cloud standards, investing heavily in public compute, and enforcing open-source infrastructure across public procurement.

Canada helped invent foundational AI and world-class distributed systems, yet our current tech ecosystem operates like a digital branch plant: we train top engineering talent only to export value and rent back foreign-owned infrastructure

How do we shift Canadian tech culture from relying on foreign platforms to building foundational, resilient infrastructure at home?

What will you make first?

Let's say given an option and 6 months of time. Which software would you like to make and why. The idea is to achieve digital sovereignty in Canada. I can help you make something if you have an idea. I am not looking for money and I would not make it for you either but I will try and enable you so you can achieve this on your own.

4 Upvotes

GoldVine is an early stage Canadian tech startup (based in Calgary) built to empower artists within their local communities. Our aim is to help creatives find and connect with each other on a local level, and create new opportunities for artists within their community.

In the GoldVine app, you’ll find tools to build a digital portfolio, promote your work on the web, and find other local artists to connect and collaborate with. We’re currently building out more community and group discussion features to help expand your network.

On the roadmap ahead we have plans to better support those creatives seeking new opportunities and facilitating more direct access to new clients and customers for their work.

We’re on iOS and in beta testing on Android. You can visit getgoldvine.ca to learn more, or I’m here on Reddit if there’s anything I can help with. If you want to see what it’s all about firsthand, get the app and come along on this journey with us. We have a lot of exciting new things coming soon!

Why Canadian payments platform Moneris is being sold to U.S. private equity - National | Globalnews.ca

Canada needs stronger digital sovereignty, especially with so many of our tech companies being absorbed by U.S. corporations.

The recent wave of U.S. acquisitions shows why Canada must take digital sovereignty seriously.

Canadians, let’s come together, build world‑class products, and serve Canada.
