    The document discusses server-driven app development and some common mistakes in building overly complex user interfaces. It advocates for thin clients with server-side rendering and remotely configurable dynamic layouts and behavior. The document cautions that user interfaces should be entity agnostic and focus on layouts rather than trying to anticipate every user need, as that leads to apps that are too smart and prevent people from learning. It concludes with inviting questions from the audience.
