Panel The State of Web Development in 2026
summary
Panel reports AI now generates huge amounts of code but only speeds one part of the job — planning, review and shipping still take human time, and dev servers often run before a feature is actually ready. Examples include a 10‑second Netflix search experiment, a 10k‑app LLM study that defaults to React default, and tools built as MCP UI and Replay integrations that convert debug data into agent prompts. Concerns: security for agent bookings, influx of AI PRs and supply‑chain attacks, and uneven global adoption (estimates around 5–10% cutting‑edge uptake).
