Why are we still building CRUD APIs in 2026?

Serious question.

Every new application starts with the same backend:

  • CRUD endpoints

  • Authentication

  • Database setup

  • Migrations

  • Validation

  • Documentation

How much of this should still be written by humans?

Should AI agents read databases directly?

Curious what everyone thinks.

As AI agents become part of applications...

Should they connect directly to databases?

Or should everything still go through APIs?

What does "local-first" actually mean anymore?

Every new developer tool claims to be local first.

But most still require you to set up:

  • a database

  • an API

  • authentication

  • a cloud account

  • migrations

So I'm curious...
