If you’ve seen “computer-use agents”, you’ve noticed two facts: 1. Every new model is “SOTA” on something. 2. Almost none of those numbers line up. OSWorld, CUB, Web Bench, Westworld, REAL, Mind2Web, ScreenSpot, GroundUI, Showdown-Clicks, WebClick… plus a dozen vendor-run leaderboards. It feels more and more like early web frameworks.

I often see teams reach for WebSockets (via Socket.io or Pusher) when they simply need to update a UI with server-side state changes. While WebSockets are powerful, they are often overkill.
