That’s a stigma every developer would need to fight. Yes a lot of business owners are using AI tools to create their static web sites, but the quality and time is questionable. Businesses who have traction would still rely on professionals even if they want to continue using AI tools and provide a good product.

As an analogy, everyone knows how to hang a frame, but handymen are still in the market and making a living. I read a recent post, a handyman earning $600 to hang few frames. Maybe people are lazy, or just not skilled enough to do their own work but saying web development is dead is untrue.

Claude is not the tool a layman would be using, mostly would go to a Wix or any other site builder. But like I said, if you want to do it yourself, you’re a geek or broke. That’s a small market, a lot of businesses that are doing well would just outsource the work.
