Introduction
The rise of AI in frontend development has sparked a heated debate.
Arguments For and Against AI
Some argue that AI is making development more accessible, while others claim it’s leading to lower quality work.
I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling the ‘deep expertise’ OP laments was actually deeply inconvenient to many people.
On the other hand, some experts believe that AI is not replacing human developers, but rather augmenting their abilities.
My humble opinion: “deskilling” is an illusion. Sure, I don’t write code by hand anymore, but I spend most of my time using the knowledge and “sixth sense” I’ve developed throughout my career to control what AI is doing.
Conclusion
Ultimately, the impact of AI on frontend development is still being debated.
