    In 2001, website builders threatened to destroy web development. It makes sense. Drag and drop, a nice UI, and it was so easy, a mother can do it. It was signalling the death of web development.

    Well that a bunch of hot air, wasn’t it? Web dev is so hot right now there’s hundreds of bootcamps and still a need for more.

    Right now, AI can generate websites. It can build web components. And maybe in a few years, you can use AI to create a fully functional app.

    But good luck with that. I don’t even have time to explain all the issues with trusting AI to do that and ensure it stays functional for more than a few years.
