The End of Front-End Development
- neverartful 2y agoNot all front-end development is done in html/js/css.

- wg0 2y agoNot happening. Tools almost never generate what you want. And you can't tweak anything unless you understand that deeply.
- matthewsinclair 2y agoThat’s essentially what the article is arguing. :)
- ozim 2y agoIt is happening but not because of LLMs. Mostly because of ready made components and libraries like Tailwind. You still need to know how to tweak some things here and there but not as much as building whole design system from scratch. Just like there is not much work making web shops from scratch if you can just configure Shopify.
- teqsun 2y agoThe article title implies an opinion the direct opposite of his feelings and the blog content
- matthewsinclair 2y agoIt does. I read it thinking one thing and then was pleasantly surprised by the content.
- Havoc 2y agoAI doesn’t need to be able to do the hardest parts of a job to absolutely rock a job market, just a good chunk of easy and mid. Then you’ve got the same number of people competing for fewer now more competitive and more difficult jobs and driving down pricing power of devs on top of it. For those that lose that fight AI did functionally take their job. That’s a bad time for everyone except shareholders. I’d be absolutely shtting bricks if I was anywhere near the industries where it is making progress on the easy problems. Copy writing, translation, call center, driving, and yes front end. It’s going to come for all jobs eventually but that category of people are the ones that will be hit before suitable social nets are in place. UBI or whatever.
