summary

A panel explores whether frontend engineers should broaden into full‑stack work or deepen frontend specialization, discussing technologies like frontend frameworks, CDNs, caching, and databases alongside AI tools. It argues for specialists who can guide AI effectively, manage emerging framework abstractions (e.g., app-level database/config setup, caching strategies), and continuously learn AI fundamentals and core skills rather than relying solely on tool-specific knowledge.
