The author of this post discusses some of the challenges of building products with large language models (LLMs).

How Server Driven UI is Helping Frontend Engineers Scale Impact
Server-driven UI (SDUI) is an alternative approach to building UI that eliminates the need for client-side logic by fetching view models instead of domain models.

Additionally, SDUI promotes the reuse of core design system components across platforms and features, which allows Robinhood to build more with less engineering time.
