Who isn't looking forward to 99% of front end developers being out of jobs if apps can be built in minutes instead of months.

  Definitely not looking forward to 99% of any group being out of jobs.

  Yeah, not happening. Someone still needs to write the CSS.

    I think the day where Figma emits styled React components is closer than you think, but the jobs are safe for now.

      And what about when you need to glue an external library into a page, or pivot a feature. I've seen design generating frontend as a promised holy grail, and it's still not there. The further away your design is from the person who actually builds the product, the longer and slower the turn around time is for the inevitable pivot or adjustment. It's all 'perfect world' scenarios. Creating a CMS? Sure. Web app that connects to x,y,z services and crunches a,b,c datasets? Not a chance.

      Try Plasmic. I'm familiar with backend stacks but can't write a lick of CSS. This tool helped me build some small webapps. I am in no way associated with them. Just a happy user.
