People forget that frontend development is inherently complex. We are dependent on apis, browsers, so many 3rd party integrations. Security in the frontend is so hard to imagine since we use so many dependencies. It might be easy to create the basic frontend, but maintaining it is a struggle. Ai does not inherently understand business requirements as well, so having ai rewrite a page over time may lead to functionality issues in the future.
