Did AI Kill Frontend?
summary
Panel argues AI does not kill frontend but changes the craft: teams use GitHub Copilot and agent workflows, some measure developer output by tokens and see rough “10x” speedups for prototypes, yet real production needs tests, guardrails and architecture. Advice is concrete: keep practicing manual coding to avoid skill atrophy, ship weekend projects to production, run red‑team models against generated code, and focus on UX, accessibility and critical tradeoff thinking that AI cannot replace.
